More powerful auto capitalize feature (e.g. "i -> I" in English)
Traditional keyboard applications automatically capitalize the letter I and various other single letters. Typewise does not, it would be really nice to have the option to have the keyboard do it for you rather than always swiping up in the letter.

PangolineerYes, this is mind-bogglingly broken. This and " 's" of certain words. Like "that's". What's the difference between me typing "that" and choose "that's" from the prediction bar, and me typing "thats" and expects typewise to autocorrect it since "thats" is incorrect. Well, the latter doesn't work like that.

LarsFor English language support it's crucial to auto-correct missing apostrophes. E.g. "Im" should become "I'm".

Hans GrobI have moved to Gboard, just before I used for years SwiftKey. Seems that in all type-helpers automatically set majuscules are ignored, especially in German. How much effort to write 'z.B.'!

whimif this implemented i would love it to be an OPTIONAL toggle, because one of my favorite things about this app is that it DOESN'T autocapitalize "i" and other proper nouns. i use capitalization for tone indication in my online typing & don't really care about Gramatically Correct capitalization. i use keyboard shortcuts to include missing apostrophes with minimal effort but having to individually un-capitalize a bunch of letters is a task i was thrilled to be leaving behind when i downloaded this keyboard.

Elizabeth YAgreed. Also not having common contractions with pronouns being automatically corrected. I'm and I'll do appear as suggestions after the apostrophe is placed, but it would be better if it just autocorrecteed from im and ill to I'm (automatically) and I'll (based on context)

Chad Woolley MergedIf I type "im" it corrects to "i'm", but doesn't capitalize the "I".
If I type "if i am" it doesn't capitalize the "I".
gboard does this correctly. -

stefanmind boggling that this doesn't work
i -> I is crucial
I even sometimes get an i autocorrected to a, k or r or some other letter!!! how can you autocorrect "i" in english to any other letter? if you can't autocapitalize it okay, thats bad, but then changing it to another letter is just beyond silly...
also upvote the thats/whats/im etc. autocorrects that miss the apostrophe...doesn't work at all. in fact, it seems the AI is learning the wrong spelling, so if I always type "dont" then the autocorrect at the beginning changes it correctly to "don't" but after a while it learns the WRONG spelling of "dont" and leaves it...ouch! -

Michael Drew Prior MergedI like swipe--up to capitalize. However, letters frequently capitalize inadvertently. Auto--correct could offer to eliminate extraneous capitalization.
