The benefits of autocorrect features are undeniable. Yet what is also true is that it is a feature that can get a bit irritating and can land you in rather embarrassing situations.
Autocorrect feature is an extra that’s built on top of the speech recognition engine of your Android phone. It can be useful in case you are switching from one language to another frequently, especially if you speak slowly at times typing might be a bit cumbersome.
The autocorrect option on your Android device reduces typing errors by suggesting replacements for misspelled words. For example, you type “hell” and the phone automatically changes it to “he’ll”. You can turn off autocorrect in Android without rooting your device.
