  • I Am Horny – Sorry, I meant HUNGRY – This Is How They’re Going To Fix The Autocorrect Problem

    When you’re in the middle of a full-blown typing conversation, you almost trust your phone to send what you mean, not what it thinks you mean. But it generally fails us, like every time.

    Since it was a thing, autocorrect fails to parents, significant others, and respectable colleagues have entertained us – there are even websites full of them.

    But soon, Apple is hoping to change all that.

    They have filed for a patent that will show a warning to message recipients that senders’ words have been automatically corrected. Ummm, okay.

    Currently, autocorrected words are presented in the same way as any other word, both when messages are being written and read.

    Apple’s proposal is that they would be highlighted using an underscore in both the typing window and when read by its intended target, distinguishing an autocorrected word from any other.

    So, for example, when autocorrect censors a message to “I can’t ducking believe it”, the recipient will have more of an idea of what was intended. If the sender spots the mistake, a clarify-and-resend button would allow them to easily correct it.

    As with all things Apple, the details are yet to be confirmed, but it is assumed that it will only work on their iMessage service.
