Hi, thanks for going your feedback. Could you elaborate on your wish? What's the use case? What do you like? Why do you like it? What's the benefit for other users? Thanks! 🙏🏻

So when I'm typing in a language, auto correction is just fine. But when I'm tapping in a weird dialect, auto correction is auto correcting all my words to the formal words. So if I don't want that, I have to switch to the EF app, disable auto correction, type my weird words, switch back to EF app, enable auto correction. So it would be really helpful to just have a toggle on the keyboard, to enable/disable autocorrection.

Ok there is something to say for that, thanks! And what if you can avoid switching back and forth between turning that option on or off? Say either you type the word and indicate that your word, instead of the suggested word, precedes? Or, that you create your own dictionary in EFKEY? See attachment. The more in out you give it, the less you need to switch between turning the feature on and off anymore. What do you think?

Is the dictionary language specific? I need the same word written differently in two languages. For example, in German it’s „Haus“ and in Swiss German it’s „Huus“

@ilikered It looks like it's not language dependent. Right?

@Rolo in 2.2.2, the next App Store update, you can switch autocorrection on and off right from the keyboard. Add the switch to the toolbar under Customize the toolbar, or with Pro put it on a spacebar swipe up or down, or on the long press of the comma or 123 key. If you turn it off by mistake, tap the note that pops up to turn it back on. Learned words aren't tied to a language, so adding Huus won't change Haus, but for a whole dialect the switch is quicker.
