Almost all keyboard applications have autocorrect feature. Autocorrect detects word mistakes you accidentally make while typing messages on your smartphone and suggests the correct one. By following your usage habits, it tries to predict the next word you will write while forming a sentence. Thus, you save time, even if it is for a few seconds.
Google introduced a new feature that will take autocorrect one step further. The grammar checker that the company has integrated into the Gboard app checks your spelling based on the grammar rules of the language you use the keyboard. However, the number of languages available for now is quite limited.
Gboard will say ‘stop’ to grammar mistakes
Google announced on its blog page that the grammar check feature is available on Pixel 6 and Pixel 6 models. Stating that it will check grammar while the user is typing with the Gboard keyboard, the company announced that when it detects an error, it will instantly suggest the correct one.
Stating that the Grammar Verification feature is not connected to any server, Google stated that all control will be done within the device and said:
Despite the widespread adoption of smartphones, creating long texts is still quite cumbersome. When writing messages, grammatical errors can occur, especially in official situations. Fixing them on a small screen can also take time.
To eliminate these difficulties; We’re introducing grammar correction built directly into Gboard on Pixel 6, which works entirely on the device to protect your privacy. The feature will detect grammatical errors and suggest corrections while typing.
It only supports English language
Google has announced that the Gboard grammar check is only available in English for now. The company, which promised to support more languages in the future, did not share a clear date. Every language has a different grammatical rule. The same subject, predicate and verb structure that is valid in English can look ridiculous when trying to adapt it to Turkish. The same is true for all languages.
So it will probably take a long time for Google to integrate the grammar rules of all languages into Gboard. It is estimated that languages such as German, Spanish, Russian and Turkish will fall within the scope of this feature in the first place.
