No Typos For Me
All methods create a lot of typos

When you text, do you type, swype, or talk to text? Which method do you think results in more typos?
Mostly swiping, but every time my phone does a stupid update with the keyboard, it screws it up for ages until it finally gets used to my swiping patterns, but even then it is always worse than it was before the update. Years ago, I had my keyboard PERFECT, and then they updated it and completely screwed it up, and it's never been anywhere near close to as good as it was before ever since. They deleted all of my added words to my dictionary as well. I also hate that they seem to have done away with my predictive texting.
When it creates the most dumb typos, I just type and make sure it doesn't autocorrect (though it does slip by me at times).

In my experience, the "Talk to Text" feature causes the most errors. Electronics can't hear too well in general. Just like trying to call a business and trying to talk with their automated line. They always get words wrong.
I only type but do fall victim to the auto-word feature sometimes... and while I have not sent a major gaffe, I've come close. But I have come up with a feature idea. Certain words should be associated with certain contacts for the auto-word feature. What I might text my wife with a little intimacy type phrase (i. e. something I want to do at that moment) would not be appropriate for someone I work with... bit of a safety net :)
P. S. One safety thing I stick with is only using PB&J versus risking another PB phrase lol...

I am one of the last of a dying breed of those who use a phone with a physical keyboard. I'd have far fewer typos if autocorrect didn't exist, but I still feel that a physical qwerty keyboard more accurate than any touch option.

Voice can have trouble if you have an accent that the algorithm is not trained for, I type normaly, heck I can almost type blind... But all methods will induse typos eventually... Because we are all human (ps trying swipe now for the first time no errors that don't stem from spelling mistakes)

See the below typos how the scenario changed lol if I typed there are lot of typos with autocorrect if I swipe means I cannot imagine the horror 👻😂
-
I would rather talk than text. Too many assumptions with texting. And the keyboard on phone seems to like certain letters more than others, I would presume for the typos.
-
I only type to text. Voice to text is super glitchy and you often have to go back in and fix errors. Swipe to text can also be super glitchy and takes so much more time than actual typing does.
-
I text but that still results in typos cause the dang keys are so small and close to each other.. plus the screen is super sensitive to touch.
-
I type with autocorrect and correct manually when something goes wrong. Most of the time it turns out fine though.
-
Lately, I've been using the talk-to-text feature and not paying close attention to the text before hitting send. Not wise on my part.

I type. I think all would result in typos honestly especially since Siri doesn't speak slang half the time
-
I just primarly text. I dont know how to do the swiping method and I dont like to use the talk to text method
-
I type. and if this was my normal phone there would be no typos. swiping is fun but I haven't given it a real go. prob slightly slower. but I would imagine text to speach is still the least accurate.
tomorrow I will swipe all day -
I type, its easier for me. I am new to technology, baby steps at a time... 😎😎
-
I have an old old phone, but it has a qwerty keyboard, so it makes me happy :)
-
I just mainly type, I don't think I run into many autocorrect errors.
-
I really like texting. I really like the sound the keyboard makes 👌
-
Swyping mostly... No typos :P. it took me time to learn it just like T9 back in the days.
-
Siri messes up the talk to text with a lot of strange messages sent. So I type rarely swipe!
-
I type. Got autocorrect turned of because i type in more than 1 language. Im a relatively fast typer.

I only type. Talk to Text feels awkward for me personally, and Iām not familiar with Swyping. All methods of typing are certain to give typos though, so voting D is lying. lol

I can't text, I don't own a cellphone
I use a keyboard, mouse and a computer -
I always type. Can't get my head around swipe texting and voice recognition freaks out at my accent for some reason 🤣
