Improvements to autocorrect.

Apple just filed for a patent for a new design which would let people know when they received a message containing words that were autocorrected. Basically what the system does is underline and autocorrected words in blue, and then if the user touches that word, it shows the original input and some other alternatives. 

Most people type quickly and hit send without rereading their texts. This leads to some pretty hilarious autocorrects, but most of the time it just leads to a message that sometimes even with context doesn’t make much sense. 


I think Apple’s solution is a great one. It’s simple and will make communication even easier. Thankfully, it won’t get rid of the hilarious accidental autocorrects either.
