More AutoCorrect and AutoComplete


NealWalters

Idea

I find myself taking notes from a lot of videos and audios, often advanced courses with specialized vocabulary. 

I would love to see the following: 

1. AutoComplete - For example, a lot of notes I take have the words: consciousness and unconscious for example.  To keep up with the speaker on the audio/video, I often just type con or uncon.   Would love for Evernote to either real/time or maybe delayed be able to help me fill in those words.  At high typing speeds, I can rarely type "consciousness" and spell it correctly.  

One possibility would be #uncon or #con and let me define my potential auto complete words for those,  For example, #con could be consciousness, conscious, or in another context maybe consolation, or connotation.  Would be great to see just my most commonly used words pop up where I could pick one (either based on actual usage, or based on some definitions that I can set up). 

2. AutoCorrect could be similar.  if I type "consciosuness" for example, i would like to auto-correct it to "consciousness", without having to right click, wait for words to appear, then scrolling and picking a word.  I wouldn't mind maintain my own "hot words" list for this.  

 

3. AutoCorrect for other speed typing. 

For example, I typed in "Can I mstype al lmy words?"    "al lmy" should obviously be "all my".  This happens very frequently when typing super fast in lectures.  When a letter gets added to the next word, a super-intelligent checker should be able to catch that. 

 

4. Context Sensitive Spelling/Dictionaries 

Here's another example from a recent note on Jewish studies.  I would like to add these words to a dictionary used for Jewish studies, but they wouldn't be needed or used if I was writing a note on investments or math for example.  


EXAMPLE NOTE: 
Don't study Kab until you are 40.  But Rambam says when you are intellectually and emotionally balanced.  Nothing magic about the age of 40.  Ovadia Yosef wrote Kaballah when he was 20 years old.

Trying to experience it and understand properly, requires an education; teaches you how to think how to analyze, e.g. Zohar talks about Sefirotic Faces (Partzufim),  Worlds/Olamot, Sefirot, Yechudim or Kavanot; rather than take literally, your mind will be exp enough "LO PASHUTO" - not literal, as many people interpret it to be.
 
NOTES ON THIS EXAMPLE: 
"Kab" was short for "Kabbalah", "exp" was short for "experience", and most of the other words I would add to a dictionary specific to this topic. "Kaballah" was misspelled, should have been "Kabbalah". 
 

Thanks,
Neal Walters

Hi.  All of the above can be accomplished,  in Evernote,  by using a free third party text-expander app "Phrase Express".  It will provide specialised expansion,  spell correction,  and other services.  It's simply not cost-effective for Evernote to provide a specialist dictionary for (for example) photographers when there are surgeons,  geologists,  and many other 'ologies' with different and unusual words in their expert descriptions.  And the work has already been done by Phrase Express and many other desktop,  mobile and web apps to provide the tools whereby you can create your own specialized dictionary service.

EN has no own language abilities. Everything is borrowed from the OS.

The question for me is whether Windows provides such a feature, and if it is enabled. Since I am on Macs, I can’t take you further than pointing into this direction on this quest.
