Auto-learning and Corrections
Scribe notices when you fix a word it inserted, asks once whether to remember it, then backs off. Review everything in Corrections.
Fix it, then remember it
When you correct a spelling in text Scribe just inserted, Scribe compares what it heard with what you typed. If the change looks like a spelling fix or a name, rather than a rewritten sentence, it asks:
Always spell “Okafore” as “Okafor”? · Add · Not now
On the Mac the question appears in the floating bar; on iPhone, in the keyboard’s suggestion bar and in the Library editor. Add saves the pair to your Dictionary: the intended spelling, with the misheard version under Heard as.
It asks once, then backs off
- After one Not now, Scribe stays quiet until it has seen the same correction three more times, then asks once more.
- A second Not now marks the pair Ignored and it is never suggested again.
- Scribe never asks more than once every ten minutes, whatever you are doing.
Nothing is added without your say-so.
Review Corrections
Open Settings › Dictionary › Corrections. Each row shows heard → meant, how often it was seen, and whether it is Suggested or Ignored.
- Add saves the pair to your Dictionary.
- Ignore leaves it out and stops the suggestion.
- Forget removes an ignored pair and resets its count, so it can be suggested again.
Entries that came from Corrections carry a Learned caption in the Dictionary and can be removed like any other.
Keyboard words
The iPhone keyboard learns too. If autocorrect changes a word and you put your spelling back twice, the keyboard stops correcting that word. Review the list under Settings › Dictionary › Keyboard words, remove a word, or add one yourself. Reset typing learning in Settings › Keyboard clears this list along with the learned key positions.
Private by design
Correction history, counts and the Dictionary live on the device. On iPhone they are shared with the keyboard through its App Group container, never uploaded. Mac and iPhone keep separate lists; a backup includes Corrections.
