Why isn't there an auto-correction option?

I’d like to have the correction suggestions executed automatically without time-consuming confirmation. Will there be an option in the near future? Or is there a possibility to access some internal parameter setting?

My guess is that as there are always false positives, maybe this feature would make LT correct something that wasn’t necessary. Also, there’s always the option of not accepting a suggestion, mainly when it is about style. However, for some words with orthographic errors, it could be worth exploring automatic correction as an option and see if it works well more than not.

I would even pay a premium account for this feature :slight_smile:

There are only a few rules for which there are no exceptions ever. In almost all cases, human intelligence is needed to make the ultimate decision.

Only humans would know the context and intentions of the text involved.

And even then, different people make different choices.

I have a number of typical mistyped words that MS Word autocorrects for me. I write a lot! It saves me hours over the course of a week.
Godo → Good, hve - > have, claer → clear, and so on. There are literally hundreds of these, including the list MS Word starts with. You do not have to turn on autocorrect, but I have and it saves me hours! I would be more than happy to pay for this kind of SPELLING autocorrect feature from LanguageTool (not grammar). I am pretty sure many others would as well. Please, give it some thought. It would make a very good tool into an amazing one, IMHO.
