Try rebooting it

Also, have you cleared the device's memory lately?

Rebooted, cleared cookies and history turned keyboard settings off, rebooted, then turned settings on

sometimesme times when i type its very slow to take letters like 1 second per letter

ill see my son tomorrow and see what he says i just texted him, no problems texting

Clearing memory to free space is different from clearing history and cache in a browser

Same thing happens with iphone

ill look up how to do that

I often have the very same problem on my ipad. I havent figured out a solution. (And yes, I've done all suggested above.)

I have the same issue when I'm on my phone. I think it's houzz, not us.

Agreed i think its Houzz, ipad doesnt work, mac computer works fine,

I’m having similar problems, but only on Houzz.

I have an iPad 8 and on here it starts typing on it's own what i just typed. it happens on here. as everyone said it's Houzz. i can't dictate......I use google. my new phone is equally as bad. I feel handicapped to just most a few sentences. Start over because it think it knows what you're going to type. Doesn't capitalize at the beginning if sentences although punctuation is set for that. no where else.

Same as dedtired - only on Houzz.

I have done all of these fixes and nothing changes. I am now on my PC and it is not happening.

This discussion took place recently and I showed what happens when I dictate. It runs on and on by itself. Houzz needs to look into it. My example was overridden by people not able to sign in here or find this discussion group.

It’s Houzz. it has been happening for a while now. Some words appear twice when typed, nothing capitalizes as it should, autocorrect doesnt work, there are delays, and other things as you describe. It takes a while for me to edit a post and sometimes i miss things and have to go back later and edit. Very frustrating and one would think the Houzz platform could have had this fixed this by now. If they cared.

It happens to me on other sites as well.

If you folks seeing this odd behavior are using Safari, have you tried using Firefox? I don't have personal experience with this problem but it's not unusual for there to be conflicts between websites and specific browsers. In such cases, using a different browser can fix the "problem".

Millions of apple/safari users , houzz must adapt

i guess we‘re getting our moneys worth

haha

I understand your perspective. In my experience, no browser reliably works with all websites and which ones work with which can change. I often run into funky behavior with Chrome. While it shares a common engine under the hood with Chrome, my experience is different with Microsoft's most recent browser Edge, that replaced Internet Explorer. Firefox is often good but not always. Android browsers, even the Firefox one, can have idiosyncrasies. Safari on our iPad isn't always what works, that's why the iPad also has Firefox downloaded and ready to use.

My employer's intranet, accessible from over the Internet, used to be a "Microsoft browser only" site. Now, MS Edge doesn't work at all with it, Chrome doesn't either, only Firefox does. There was no announcement, it was something I came upon by trial and error.

Moral of the too long story - have a couple of browsers handy and ready to switch to because you can expect you'll need to. I'm not saying that's a certain remedy for those having trouble on this site but it is generally a common experience.

This seems to be a problem of apple devices unique to houzz. the glacial pace of typing should throw me into a zen state.

It’s houzz. It doesn't happen on any other sites and it only started a couple of months ago. My posts are now all very short.....

There's a broader world out there beyond iPad users on Houzz and other sites. I'm mostly a PC user but it's not restricted to PCs by any means. My comments about browser incompatibilities can be accepted or not as preferred. My wife encounters problems with Safari on her nearly new iPad with certain websites from time to time.

I hope this is not an instance of some thinking "it's never happened to me so it doesn't happen to others".

I went to Youtube and to stop ghosting a last plausible fix is to reset your preferences and data. everything you want to keep should be put in the cloud if allowed.
