In this episode:
For years, people added their "unusual" names to their phone's dictionary, treating it as a minor inconvenience. Then some decided to fight back.
In this episode, we meet the people whose names are constantly "corrected" by their devices and hear how I Am Not A Typo, a grassroots campaign to fix autocorrect, got the attention of tech giants.
This is Part 1 of “What’s in a name?”, a new mini-series about autocorrect and inclusive technology.
