Don't autocorrect a word when the user backs up and deletes part of it,. People want it: http://redd.it/122sp3
Don't autocorrect a word when the user backs up and deletes part of it.
Whenever SwiftKey autocorrects a word that is almost correct (e.g. "bikes" instead of "bike"), don't autocorrect the word back to "bikes" if the user deletes the 's'.
As of right now, #1 post on Reddit!: http://redd.it/122sp3

Thanks for your comments. We want SwiftKey to be the best keyboard out there and understand that it’s frustrating that it doesn’t yet hear you shouting “no, I meant THIS” when you make a change to a word that you have already typed.

well Sarah, thanks for answer and understand, really. but now we all need that change, not only we, I know a lot of users that remove SwiftKey Trial for this, and don't give change to the memory prediction that haves, it's really a shame. I assure you that will be a pleasure to recomment the app to all they when fix it.

Yes, I am uninstalling SwiftKey because of this very problem. I keep typing a word that I know is correct, and it goes back and changes it. It will not let me type the correct word. Too frustrating. I liked the app otherwise because its predictions and ease of use are better than other programs I have tried

Oooh yes, this would be great, as often i don't realise what I've written until I've already sent the message, and the substituted words are sometimes VERY embarrassing. This happens a lot while writing in a different language. Please fix?
This is by far the best predictive keyboard that I've seen, and if it's able to learn from your choices surely it'll be able to learn from your corrections? Thanks -
Seriously?

I'd really like to stop "shouting" at my phone.

I'm wondering why this is not implmeented yet. I often typing russian, and russian dictionary provided with Swiftkey suck,s. So, it often replaces word entered by me with some "auto-corrections". I feel myself frustrated, cause I forced to retype the whole word again. I hope, this will be fixed soon.

Nice snarky response from support... Other android keyboards do exactly what the poster is asking for, no mind-reading required!

Yeah. The first time I read her response, I sensed a bit of hostility. But then after re-reading it, I'm not so sure... Anyways this issue needs to be resolved sooner rather than later. Or they should at least give us a clear answer whether they intend to fix or even tackle this issue. Most keyboards already have this feature. In addition, there are several other posts detailing this same exact issue and have been opened for more than a year.

How many people will pay for the app now that Ms. Reynolds has answered thus?

Does anyone else sense an insulting amount of sarcasm from Ms. Sarah Reynolds...? She seems frustrated to address some of these ideas...

I know that this idea is not new as apple has it. But this is a serious requirement because if you think from the user point of view. The user is deleting the word only because they did not like the suggestion. I know the new typed word can be selected from the options given but a spacebar is more convenient. so maybe if the word is being edited you can put the new word in the default option position.

As a follow on from this, in English lots of words have a stem and then you change the ending: eg: run,running,runner,runs so it would be nice to have an option if when you select an autocorrect, that it doesn't insert the space, so then you don't need to backup at all, you can just type the ending you want

I posted an idea to create a special "super s" key above the delete key and to the right of the "L" key that would instantly change singular words to plural and vice versa... This is my biggest problem with SwiftKey.

It should work so that when you hit backspace after auto corrected word, it would change the word back to the word you have typed. This autocorrection is really annoying especially in other languages than English because the autocorrection makes a lot of mistakes. It's really frustrating when you try to type "au" and the prediction is "auttakaa". Then you have to hit backspace 6 times. And of course instead of selecting the word "au" from the prediction line, you hit space and the word goes back to "auttakaa"!

Or autocorrect but don't suggest the word that was deleted as the default word choice.
