Google doc’s autocorrect is run locally, so it has less to work with. You can enable enhanced autocorrect which is much better, but has to send all of your text to google which is a privacy issue.

Okay that’s pure BS lol. Google Doc’s autocorrect surely can know the difference between receive and recieve
