Strongly disagree. I’m using SwiftKey, and the prediction has been awful for the last year or so. It constantly tries to force sentences on me and gives me multiple repeated words.
As an example, typing that last sentence, every time I started a word with ‘m’, it suggested ‘more’ and ‘more than’. If I long press and tell it not to suggest ‘more than’, then select ‘more’, the next suggested word is ‘than’.
I find that it often repeats the selected word too. Earlier I typed something like ‘I did it last year’ and the next suggestions were ‘year’ and ‘year ago’.
Microsoft have shoehorned a predictive AI into SwiftKey, and it doesn’t work properly.
That’s fair enough, it’s a lot of work to get the data filled in.
Apps like Street Complete gamify adding data though, which can make it more interesting. It will give you a quest, like asking for the building number on Oak Street, for example. It’s the kind of thing that you can do for a few minutes while you’re waiting for the bus, or your coffee, and helps to plug away at the gaps in the data.
Just be careful because it can be addictive, and before you know it, you’re using the OSM tools and micromapping your town 😁
