QuickPath keeps getting less accurate
As a former user of Android’s Swype, I was delighted to discover that IOS on my iPhone 11 supported the similar QuickPath. Originally, it was pretty accurate, appeared to consider context when choosing the most likely word, and a real time-saver compared to tapping individual letters. I bragged to friends about how much easier it was to create text on an iPhone. Unfortunately, it seems to be getting less accurate the more I use it. Honestly, it appears to be “learning” from mistakes—both mine and its own. It now routinely generates the following errors for me:
* “abs” substituted for “and”
* “off” substituted for every instance of “of”
* capitalizing non-proper nouns in the middle of sentences—the latest is “The.” (It also capitalized Mine in a sentence above.)
I’ve tried to correct some in keyboard shortcuts, such as automatically changing “abs” to “and,” but QuickPath or the built-in dictionary seems to be choosing alternate, random words beginning with “a” now.
The issue is that QuickPath is most useful when it makes relatively few errors. Now unless I proofread everything very carefully, it CREATES errors where previously there were none. Is there any way to reset the internal dictionary, for example, that might undo QuickPath’s current word choices?
