Horrible spellchecker

defelilo — Wed, 21 Jul 2021 09:07:42 GMT

I cannot believe how the Samsung spellchecker gets worse rather than better. Previously it would make suggestions of misspelled words, now it changes grammar and correct words. Every time I write "well" it changes it to "we'll", "ill" becomes "I'll", "in" or "is" changes to "I". Every time I write "make" it changes it to "male". However there are times I misspell a word and it just leaves it there. So the latest version of the spellchecker doesn't pick-up errors, but changes correct words.

You could always try a different keyboard. I found a lot of the time with Samsung keyboard I had to correct spelling mistakes. I'm using microsoft SwiftKey keyboard. It is also installed on the note 20 ultra.

@defelilo: I'm sorry to hear that you're having some issues with the Samsung Keyboard. Based on what you've described, please can you try heading to Settings > General Management > Samsung Keyboard Settings > Switch off Predictive Text (which will also disable Auto Replace), and make sure that Auto Spell Check is toggled on. This should prevent the wrong words being automatically populated, while still highlighting mispelled words, and suggesting corrections.

Well... ther isn't working spellcheck in Samsung 2022 models if you are multilagnuage.... and thre isn't any spellcheck if you use physical keyboard. [And Nokia 6110 is out of stock.]

Im having same problem. BUTI do like the predictive text. Just wish it would simply underline misspelling and give ME THE OPTION to change it with predictive text. It doesnt even catch the misspelled words half the time and it flat out changes words to wrong words. Plus if it changes it and I have it spelled right its like 2 to 3 steps just to get it back. It can make writting a short simple text ANNOYING AS HELL!! And while we are on subject. 50% of time if I see a word I misspelled and I .ove curser up to add a missing letter it puts the letter at the end of sentance, then LUCKY ME, gets to clear out everything back to misspelling and write it all again. REDICULOUS!!!!!! then of course the grammer police step in and give me greif for just leaving it because, it gets SOOOOOOOO FLIPPING ANNOYING!!!

IF you cant fix this, may I make a suggestion to make these phones out of rubber so they bounce when they get thrown.

Please note this is emailing from my phone-not texting-.

I'm thinking the same thing. I wonder if some is joking around. Last month or two it suggests I change a correctly spelled word in the proper tense to some word I've never seen before. Todays word is WOULL the correction to my "would" you please send...

Can you have professional auto correct versus Urban dictionary auto correct.

Ive installed google keyboard, but still no predictive text and no spellchecker. Im almost ready to reenable predictive because this is soooo painfully slow withoit it

I've been using the s23 ultra for 10 days and it's quite shocking how bad the keyboard experience is for writing. I had the Note 2 and Note 4 and it seems that it is way worse than ever now. How is this possible? I was using a Poco F1 with a Pixel custom rom...the writing experience was excellent. Snd the voice typing was actually incredible. Here I have the best ozone on the planet and it takes me 5 minutes to write a short paragraph. There were more typos in this but I corrected them, just so I could be understood. It's insane. I use my phone all day to communicate and it's painful for most of it on this thing. really bad Samsung, really bad.

Same exact correction for me too! What the heck is WOULL?!?!? Who wrote this spellchecker? Did they know English? Or was it coded by a toddler who hasn't learnt to spell yet???

Why doesn't Samsung just admit it's a heap of poorly produced rubbish and replace it with something that's fit for purpose.
