> even if it's limited, one or two typos at most

This would help a lot I think.

When I'm on mobile, the most common error is "keyboard offset error", where I hit a "key" next to the one I intended. So it's not completely arbitrary, and it only happens once or twice in 99% of the cases.

On a physical keyboard this also happens, but the more likely error is synchronization error, where I hit a left-hand key before a right-hand key or vice versa, the classic teh vs the. Again usually only a single such error per word and not arbitrary.

Finally there's also the common case of simply missing a letter. Again, limited and not arbitrary.

So at least for my sake, anything that can handle the above errors would go a long way.
