GS3 has THE worst auto-correction on the keyboard.

[jacobsjl1]

I second, third or eighth that notion about SwiftKey 3.

I was having a huge problem with the autocorrect after the most ostrecent update. No setting changes or amount of patience reolved the issue. Finally I just decided to download a keyboard app...one of the better decisions I've made in awhile.

I ended up installing SwiftKey 3 Keyboard, and my life is infinently better. It autocorrects appropriately. It also learns my pattern of speech and which words I use most often and takes those into account. It has some other pretty neat features too.

Long story short, if this is a problem you're having, this is my suggestion to you. It took the stress out of text.

Stock samsung keyboard is crap.
When you want to highlight text it can get VERY frustrating. Its all over the shop.
My gfs iPhone has a sweet set up for selecting, copying and pasting text. The magnifying glass is really helpful unlike Samsungs.
Anyway, ill try SwiftKey.

TouchPal keyboard is the best keyboard I can find on the market. Perfect combo of tap typing and swyping. No lag or anything. Good customization settings. Give it a week or so to learn how you type and you will be typing faster than ever

I am having the same problem -- but it really started a week or so ago when the OS was updated. Now I have this "overcorrect" error (editor forcing "corrections" which are incorrect) almost every line. IS THERE A WORK AROUND OR CORRECTION TO THIS PROBLEM?

Thanks BOB

I suppose you could turn prediction off completely - you would just do that in the keyboard Settings.
