What does "raises the register" in this context mean?
It means the formality level of text. I think that person was saying that within their family chats, they perceive that using capitals and punctuation makes the messages feel unnecessarily/inappropriately formal.
With the new UI updates here are a few things that I find help. • 1. Turning ON haptics in the keyboard section • 2. Turn OFF the “suggestions” • 3. Teach the autocorrect what I want to type. (Correct the same word a few times and you will trigger machine learning) • 4. Turn keyboard sound OFF • 5. Grab the cursor directly, don’t use the “spacebar trick” unless you’re going to move to the front or end of an input box…
For instance I fed so much French vocabulary to autocorrect, at this point it's convenient. But some other person in this thread was reporting failing to have autocorrect memorise his/her foreign name.
Vent: I'm on Android and still haven't seen a well done cursor scroll. It usually requires me to select the position accurately which is PITA. I wish there was a simple way to do that.
iPhone 7 with its 3D Touch had the best cursor scroll tbh. You hard press your thumb anywhere on the keyboard and use it like a mousepad to scroll around. I’m still mad that we don’t have that anymore.
Try disabling slide to type. I don't use it, so if it's on, it introduces inaccuracies.
When the iPhone launched, Apple talked a lot about how the typing system worked. What I remember is that it sounded like pretty simple lookups. As you typed, the software compared your word to, essentially, a weighted dictionary to guess what you were going to type next. If you typed “b” it was flummoxed. But if you typed “behav” it knew the next letter was almost certainly going to be “e” or “i” (for behavior). It m…
When I had a Nokia with a hardware keyboard, I could write at 90wpm with zero typos without even looking at it. It was phenomenal. Now? Every second letter is a fat finger, auto-correct gets it wrong every other word, and it's a frustrating ordeal trying to move the cursor to exactly where I want it to fix it.
It undoubtedly reduces the number of messages I send because it's such a draining experience.
