Google AI Introduces Proofread: A Novel Gboard Feature Enabling Seamless Sentence-Level And Paragraph-Level Corrections With A Single Tap

Gboard, Google's mobile keyboard app, incorporates several active and manual error correction features to enhance the typing experience. These features aim to correct errors and offer multiple word candidates in the suggestion bar or inline, as well as smart compose. Here are some of the key active and manual error correction features:

1. Word Completion: Gboard suggests and completes words as you type, reducing the need to type out full words.
2. Next-Word Predictions: Gboard predicts the next word you might type based on your input and suggests it in the suggestion bar.
3. Active Auto-Correction (AC): This feature automatically corrects spelling mistakes as you type, reducing the need for manual corrections.
4. Active Key Correction (KC): KC actively corrects typing errors by suggesting alternative words when it detects a misspelled word3.
5. Post-Correction (PC): PC allows you to fix errors in the last one or more committed words, helping you correct mistakes after they have been typed.

In addition to these active features, Gboard also offers manual actions, such as grammar and spell checkers, to help users systematically repair committed words.

Gboard, Google's mobile keyboard app, addresses the 'fat finger' problem by using statistical decoding and incorporating various error correction features. These features include word completion, next-word predictions, active auto-correction (AC), and active key correction (KC). They work together to make typing easier by correcting errors and offering multiple word candidates in the suggestion bar or inline.

Additionally, Gboard uses post-correction (PC) to fix errors in the last one or more committed words. Users can also take additional manual actions and make selections to ensure a smoother typing experience. These features help reduce typing errors on small screens by providing accurate suggestions, correcting mistakes, and allowing users to type at a faster pace without worrying about making errors.
