When you text, do you type, swype, or talk to text? Which method do you think results in more typos?

[Brainsbeforebeauty]

So this started as a question, but curious what method creates the most typos...

Me, I swype and get a lot of swypos

Typing

Swyping

Talk To Text

No Typos For Me

All methods create a lot of typos

[aWes0MeNeSs]

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).

[Brainsbeforebeauty]

Omg... Right lol hence my p*nis butter instead of peanut butter reply on here once 🤣

[aWes0MeNeSs]

Lol! It always seems to be the most embarrassing words!

[Brainsbeforebeauty]

Right! Lol minute hit send saw and was all no-no no and it took less than a minute to get a reply asking if I found the p* nis butter next to the c"*chy cream 🙄🤣🤣

[aWes0MeNeSs]

Lol! That's crazy, yet hilarious! A family member of mine meant to send "thank you" and the phone sent "f*** you"! 😂

[Brainsbeforebeauty]

Did you say no thanks that's incestuous 🤣🤣😅

[aWes0MeNeSs]

Lol, it wasn't a text meant for me, it was a story they told me, but that would've been funny!

[Brainsbeforebeauty]

Oh okay lol I once mixed up who I was texting... Thought was saying I love you too my daughter... But sent it to a family friend... 😳 Lmao

[aWes0MeNeSs]

Lol! That would be awkward depending on who it was!

[Brainsbeforebeauty]

Eh said other stuff that he knew it wasn't really directed at him lol but didn't stop the teasing lol 🙄

[aWes0MeNeSs]

Aww, lol!

[Flower7]

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.

[Brainsbeforebeauty]

I hate that method anyway lol so what method do you use?

[Flower7]

Just regular, old-fashioned typing!

[TCredo]

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...

[Brainsbeforebeauty]

Right lol the word goon pops up on my phone a lot. No clue why 🤔🤣🤣🤣

[TCredo]

lol... goon does seem to be trending since the shutdown began :)

[Brainsbeforebeauty]

I had to remove the G from my keypad thanks to you 🙄🤣🤣

[TCredo]

lol... awesome! I've been blamed for lots of things before but never keyboard alteration! New accomplishment lol :)

[Brainsbeforebeauty]

"Tell him what he's won Bob"...🏆🏆🏆

[TCredo]

Maybe "Bob" has today off because he hasn't replied yet...

@Bob whenever you are ready, I am ready for my prize :)

[Brainsbeforebeauty]

Lol that was supposed to be like from the price is right 🤣🤣🤣

[TCredo]

lol... yes I figured but was still hopeful maybe he'd have something for me :)

[Brainsbeforebeauty]

😁😅

[Brainsbeforebeauty]

Must of got lost in the mail with my Valentine's gifts 🤣

[TCredo]

lol... yes... and now that you mention it... I had asked "Bob" to deliver your V day gifts so he has been slacking for awhile now lol :)

Thanks for the MHO or thank you GaG system. Will say when I signed on I had like 20 MHO's so I think the GaG system had a firework or two explode inside :)

[Brainsbeforebeauty]

Ha right that happened to me on the 4th so yeah guess fireworks

[matchrestore]

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.

[Brainsbeforebeauty]

Maybe that's what I need 😁🤣

[Branden315]

Lucky, I only had one moble device with a physical keybord... Got thrown at a Superbowl party causing the screen to freeze

[Brainsbeforebeauty]

@Branden315 aww that sucks

[Branden315]

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)

[Brainsbeforebeauty]

Well apparently you're a better swyper than me 👍🙂 or less blind 🤣 but can you Swype peanut butter without it sending p*nis butter?🤔 cuz apparently I couldn't 🙄🤣

[Branden315]

😂😂😂 I took entire seconds between letters to think, also peanut butter (oh yeah first try without pause)

[Brainsbeforebeauty]

😝😝 lol I had just did a lot of funny s*x takes, so maybe that weird was stored and just autofilled🤷🏼‍♀️🤣🤣

[Branden315]

Sometimes I get Spanish words in mine😂 i can bairly speak English for goodness sake😂😂

[Brainsbeforebeauty]

*word lol

[Brainsbeforebeauty]

🤣🤣🤣 hey maybe you'll learn Spanish that way 😁

[Branden315]

Pero, no quiero hablo mucho mas idiomas mal😥

[Branden315]

Yo aprendar español arrora, pero no en mi celular😂😂

[Brainsbeforebeauty]

Lmao but me speaka no Spanish 🤣🤣 now hmmm what did that say 🤔🤔 English translation, please 🙂

[Branden315]

But I don't want to speak another language badly, I am learning Spanish... But not on my phone😂😂

[Branden315]

The sad part is when swiping i have no idea what the words mean😂

[Brainsbeforebeauty]

🤣🤣🤣 so no translation lmao

[Branden315]

I did send the translation...

[Brainsbeforebeauty]

Duh that was the translation 🤣🤣🤪

[Aakash_Hangargi]

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 👻😂

[Brainsbeforebeauty]

🤣🤣🤣

[raven6933]

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.

[Brainsbeforebeauty]

Ha so agree here I'm a talker not a texter even without typos

[DestinyElizabeth04]

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.

[Brainsbeforebeauty]

Thanks lol I thought it was just me and my blind self lol and talk to text, feel like I'm talking to myself 🤣

[DestinyElizabeth04]

I hear you there! 😂

[Brainsbeforebeauty]

Already do that too much 🤣🤣jk

[BlueScorpio]

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.

[Brainsbeforebeauty]

Oh so agree, That's why I Swype, but still get typos... Maybe I'd have less if get me damn glasses 🤣

[Hurlyburly]

I type with autocorrect and correct manually when something goes wrong. Most of the time it turns out fine though.

[Brainsbeforebeauty]

That's good... I think my phone had auto incorrect🤣

[Hurlyburly]

😂😂

[Brainsbeforebeauty]

😁😁

[DeeDeeDeVour]

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.

[Brainsbeforebeauty]

Haha right, or I'll see it as hit send but it's too late at that point 🤣🤣 hence the penis butter instead of peanut butter that time 🤣

[DizzyDesii]

I type. I think all would result in typos honestly especially since Siri doesn't speak slang half the time

[Brainsbeforebeauty]

🤣🤣 lol right 🤣

[Nuespeed]

I just primarly text. I dont know how to do the swiping method and I dont like to use the talk to text method

[Brainsbeforebeauty]

I don't like the talk to text either

[HonestWeirdo]

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

[Brainsbeforebeauty]

Swyper get swyping 🤣

[HonestWeirdo]

oops forgot so far. changing now

[Brainsbeforebeauty]

Lol cheater 🤣

[HonestWeirdo]

Took a wholefood set up now I am a sweeper

[HonestWeirdo]

Changed back to say what I tried to type:
Took a while to set up but now I am a swyper

[Brainsbeforebeauty]

Your first Swype typos 🤣

[HonestWeirdo]

Yeah. Prob better if I remove predictive text. Also how do you do 2 letters in a row? Do you get a space when you lift finger off screen?

[Brainsbeforebeauty]

You just kinda move finger on that letter twice

[1Sophisticatedme]

I type, its easier for me. I am new to technology, baby steps at a time... 😎😎

[Brainsbeforebeauty]

Lol I hear you... I Swype cuz I'm slow typer and big fingers/small phone keyboard lol

[razelove]

I have an old old phone, but it has a qwerty keyboard, so it makes me happy :)

[Brainsbeforebeauty]

That's good 🙂

[Nxtawm]

I just mainly type, I don't think I run into many autocorrect errors.

[Brainsbeforebeauty]

That's good

[TheLittleInnocent]

I really like texting. I really like the sound the keyboard makes 👌

[Brainsbeforebeauty]

Really? I don't like texting that much.. For personal... Prefer actual telephone conversation

[TheLittleInnocent]

You see for me, I don’t like talking to people 😂 so when it comes to texting I don’t have to reply immediately unlike on a call where I can’t just ignore you for a month then come back like omg sorry I’ve been busy

[Brainsbeforebeauty]

Yeah but that's only gonna work so long whether it text or talk... Noone that busy not to text someone for a whole month of they really care about that person... For GAG or other social media, that's one thing... But for personal relationships that's quite a different thing... At least to me

[Aakash_Hangargi]

Sometimes I feel typing is best because you can convey more than you would literally speak its something more than just speaking

[TheLittleInnocent]

@Brainsbeforebeauty I actually was busy for a whole month (s) this one time. Planning and organizing My brother’s wedding (helping) 😂 and it’s not that I don’t care for the people I don’t text it’s just I have trouble talking to people and having a conversation... its very overwhelming and it burns me out so I try to avoid it that or I’m just antisocial and this is what I keep telling my self so I don’t feel too bad about ignoring people 😂

[TheLittleInnocent]

@Aakash_Hangargi I agree... some words are better written than spoken

[Jaximus-Lion]

Swyping mostly... No typos :P. it took me time to learn it just like T9 back in the days.

[Brainsbeforebeauty]

😝😝 oh some people think they so perfect 🤣🤣🤣 (I'm only kidding 😉) maybe if wore my glasses I'd have less typos lol

[All4ur_pleazure]

Siri messes up the talk to text with a lot of strange messages sent. So I type rarely swipe!

[Brainsbeforebeauty]

I'm a swyper lol

[nodnol32]

I type. Got autocorrect turned of because i type in more than 1 language. Im a relatively fast typer.

[Brainsbeforebeauty]

Oh okay... Not me I'm a hen and pecker🤣

[clampfan101]

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

[Brainsbeforebeauty]

Lol right 🙂

[humanearth]

I can't text, I don't own a cellphone

I use a keyboard, mouse and a computer

[Brainsbeforebeauty]

Oh okay.. I currently don't have a computer

[humanearth]

Fun fact about me, I never ever owned a cellphone

[Brainsbeforebeauty]

We didn't till got home from shopping and the school had been blowing up the answering machine cuz daughter was sick at school and once hubby was on transplant list

[humanearth]

I know just what you you need to hip and with the a times. A CB Radio a 40 channel with sideband to boot

[humanearth]

Only the cool people have a CB

[Brainsbeforebeauty]

But what CB "handle" to use? 🤔 Lol

[humanearth]

Triple B short for your screen name

[Brainsbeforebeauty]

Yeah but in here people know what that stand for... On A CB they could think it stands for Ball Busting Beotch our something 🤣

[humanearth]

It can be anything you want it be,

I know of double trouble, triple trouble, chestcles (Meant she had big tits), double Nickel, wrench man, midnight oil, Hot Coffee (she was a traveling prostitute),

Fine how about the name Little Beaver

[Brainsbeforebeauty]

🤣🤣🤣 yeah no lol that just sounds so wrong.. Although fat beaver would be worse 🤣🤣

[humanearth]

Stinky Beaver is even worse

[Brainsbeforebeauty]

🤣🤣 lmao Hey now my gyno told me I had the cleanest "V" she'd ever seen... Lol weirdest compliment ever and also what nasty shit do she be seeing... Don't even wanna know lmao

[AcidT0y]

I always type. Can't get my head around swipe texting and voice recognition freaks out at my accent for some reason 🤣

[Brainsbeforebeauty]

🤣 freaks out lmao funny 🤣
