Right now a lot of us are trying to divest and diversify from having our entire lives on Google both because of the way Google spends its money and the long-standing privacy concerns seeming a bit more scary now.

What services have you switched to and what has your experience been? What do you like, what don’t you like, would you recommend them?

    Usually autocorrect accuracy is directly proportional to info stealing by the keyboard. Google’s autocorrect is so good because it’s constantly phoning home with what people write so they can improve their model.

    I use a keyboard with no autocorrect (Unexpected Keyboard), and, although it took a while to get used to it, I got used to typing fast and mostly accurately after some time using it. You can also get used to your autocorrect’s quirks, and you’ll find that you will type faster with it.
