Writers struggle to spell and type accurately across languages
Multilingual writers can find default keyboards poor at handling non-English languages and accented characters, while app-level spellcheck may not offer an easy way to configure multiple languages. Some writers also know the word they want but struggle to spell unfamiliar words. The friction appears in both mobile keyboards and writing apps, so a useful tool would need to meet people where they type rather than assume one app or language.
For multilingual writers and people who struggle with spelling. Mentioned from Dec 2023 to Dec 2025 on Bluesky, product forums and Hacker News.

I'd pay for an actually good keyboard. I find the default keyboard (GBoard) atrocious for languages other than English
Gosh, I'm dyslexic and it is so frustrating having a way larger vocabulary than what I can spell. I sight read and can't sound out words well
