It's a total pain in the bum, Tom told me it improves the more I use it but I am not convinced, I can see it making elementary mistakes all the time.
If I misspell a word (usually with a typo) it comes up with a totally inappropriate word instead of the one I intended, in many cases changing several letters early in the word.
On a couple of occasions it has put in a word which has completely changed the sense of the sentence. Making it essential to proof read almost everything.
I am coming to the conclusion that for the tiny gain from the rare words it get's right the costs in time and embarrassment and possible offended readers really isn't worth it. Especially with a computer, maybe with an eyepad where typing is not so easy, and backspacing to edit isn't possible? it may have some advantage...
It has potential but it needs to be context aware and be better aware of typo combinations, adjacent keys, a-s, f-g and w-e are my worst, all left hand keys if you notice...
I may well turn it off, VERY soon!
You can edit and backspace, it's the basic delete that's missing in the default software.
However, there is an app that gives you back the delete key and all the normal keyboard functions. The only pain is that after typing in it, you may have to block copy your work to the app where you wanted the text in the first place.
