> When I swing my finger around wildly it's making a best guess;

Alright, well some of us are actually deft at swiping text on our phones and would very much like the keyboard to type the word we entered.

You're deft at using it well enough that their predictive engine can guess your intent. There's never been a swipe keyboard that isn't guessing. Your finger literally goes over many chars it doesn't use. The team building the predictive engine has to make calls balancing their accuracy vs failure modes.

Oh comon, these model quality isn't the issue here.

The models know which words we intend to type. The problem is those specific words are on unchangeable and hidden block lists.

Parent is kind of right too. This should be configurable or people will complain the other way. Even something simple as "I am swiping heck but it's typing hell".

Yall still swipe/type that much?

Yea it's not the best option in all situations but fixing voice dictation glitches is way less tapping over the long haul; fingers no go numb using it as much as possible by saving the tap tap tap for absolutely necessary moments

Guess what is going to happen with voice input?

Plus don't be this guy, dictating every text message, email, and YouTube reply. Folks around you will appreciate you for Internetting quietly.
