S9 android text swipe not working correctly

[Android Central Question]

When I use swipe in texting at times the phone puts letters instead of my word. Also some letters freeze.

Welcome to Android Central! Which keyboard app are you using? I notice this every so often using Gboard -- it helps if I backspace a few spaces just to clear out what the keyboard might think I was trying to type.
