Yeah, I don't understand what you meant by that - if I understood correctly it's the matter of sometimes autocorrect working as intended and sometimes not? Afaik that is just how it works.
Or if you meant correcting grammar (or sentence prediction?) vs correcting just the spelling ... I'm not familiar of any keyboards have that distinction.
(Never had this issue, including on Heli)
I have never used autocorrect, not even in T9 days.
I always use gesture typing with alternative words shown I can select if I want.
I have autocorrect set much the same way, to display alternatives I can select or just continue.
I like to misspell words for cumedic effuckt so autocockerrect wouldn't work anyway.
But basically with any keyboard you can set it to remember new words (with Heli either within app or in the phones personal dictionary). I have it that if I write something 3 times it automatically goes to the dictionary.
The thing I wish existed is to prevent autocorrect from changing words that are correctly spelled. Basically it should correct misspellings, not change a correctly spelled word at all.
