My problem with iOS autocorrect is that when I type a technical word that it doesn't understand, as soon I hit space and it autocorrects, even if I immediately backspace, the original word is GONE. If someone was dictating something to me and I was transcribing, too bad, I have to ask them to repeat it.
Android will autocorrect but if you immediately backspace, it reverts to the original. I didn't realize how much I relied on this function until it was absent.
I generally can predict the words it isn’t going to understand, and just make an effort to type those more carefully. The literal letters you typed so far is typically the leftmost option in the word list just above the keyboard. 98% of the time I can just plow right through mashing my fingers vaguely near the keys, the other 2% I just type slow and use the top left word instead of the space bar.
