(no title)

Zhenya | 2 months ago

I have found myself doing a lot more voice typing lately.

My biggest gripe is that when I say "want to" it replaces it with "wanna" unless I specifically enunciate "want to".

"Wanna" is NOT a word in english but there is no way to exclude it.

Frustrating.

I use voice typing for almost the same thing every day.

I run to/from daycare to drop off my son and I title the run "Daycare drop-off". It constantly types "Take care drop-off" which drives me nuts. Those words don't even make sense together. A simple Markov chain should do better.

Wanna is in a number of notable and respected English dictionaries including the Oxford English Dictionary, Merriam-Webster, and Collins. I don't know what else defines if a word is or is not in the language.

Its an informal word, and it does not belong in a device used for professional communications.

"Wanna is used in written English to represent the words `want to' when they are pronounced informally. I wanna be married to you. Do you wanna be married to me? "

Pronounced - not written.
