I think the system already does learn from your input, but the learnt words are suggested late and not prominently, e.g if I open a new email and type asdfghj asdfghj asdfghj
I notice asdfghj
being suggested as soon as I type asdfg
, but not before, e.g. for asdf
- maybe it gets more prioritry when the word is used more often or the suggestion is accepted by clicking on it.
Not sure about the actual implementation, but I assume that this won't have any effect for short words.
Personally, I agree with jjaone and think that it should be the user's decision whether a word should be remembered, maybe invoked by tapping on it.
I had expected that unknown words used often would be added automatically to the dictionary ...

Artem ( 2014-01-08 11:49:46 +0200 )edit@jjaone, @Artem: "unknown words used often": A single typo or unusual word would not get into the dictionary -- but your name which you probably type quite frequently. Also the words presented should come up according to usage, i.e. most often used words first.
Nonetheless, some way to manage dictionary entries manually should also be provided.

Artem ( 2014-01-08 12:27:45 +0200 )edit@Artem: A simple "Add word to" and "Remove word from" dictionary would do the job. That's neither geeks-only staff nor a big programming problem (provided, the current dictionary is not static in general but allows for changes).
