Hello,
My laptop (MacBook Air) writes/changes my name in all caps. Even if I write my name with proper caps (first letters), it changes it to ALL CAPS.
I can't find where to disable this. I can only find to disable automatic caps for everything, but this is something I don't want to.
My name is also correct in the Contacts app.
Can someone help please?
Kind regards,
Niki
MacBook Air, macOS 13.3
Maybe this is a case of spell corrector going rogue: try turning off the spell checking and see if it stops.
Or... maybe your child has been playing a prank on you...
I'd check System Settings->Keyboard->Text Replacements, and see if there is an entry for your name, like
Niki getting replaced by NIKI.

You might want to check System Settings > Keyboard > Text Replacements…
It seems like the latest software update fixed the issue I had, topic can be closed.
You can do Edit->Spelling and Grammar->Show Spelling and Grammar and see what it says.
There is probably a substitution appearing there, and you may want the software to not use it.
Full disclosure: I never turn autocorrect, or even spell checking, on.
Thnx for the response. Text replacement is not the case.
However, it surely has something to do with spell check etc. If I turn down the option "check spelling automatically" (OS is in Dutch so I don't know the exact EN wording), it doesn't do it anymore.
How can I fix a rogue spell check / change it / remove it without disabling it entirely?
Kind regards,
Niki
Hi Luis,
That does not seem to be it. It can only check for 1 word, not a combination. And neither my first or last name are found in the spelling dictionary. So strange.
This is what it looks like...
I did check it, and there is nothing in there that could cause this.
Name in all caps
