Abstract: Disclosed embodiments include methods, computer software program products, and systems for providing haptic feedback regarding software-initiated changes to user-entered text input. Given by way of illustration and not of limitation, in an illustrative method a first signal indicative of an autochange to user-entered text is received from an autocorrect module. The autochange is compared to a set of autochange attributes. A second signal is generated by a haptic feedback module responsive to comparing the autochange to a set of autochange attributes. The second signal is provided to a haptic feedback device, and haptic feedback is generated with the haptic feedback device responsive to the second signal.
