Whenever a computing device such as a smart phone automatically corrects and replaces a word entered by the device's user, the computing device can responsively provide some sensory output to the user to signal to the user that the replacement has occurred. Because the user can sense the output, the user can become alerted to the fact of the automatic replacement prior to transmitting, or otherwise making permanent, the text containing the replaced word. The user can then proofread the text prior to transmission in order to ensure that the replaced word is actually the correct word that the user meant to enter. The sensory output can involve a visual highlighting of the replaced word, an audible speaking of the word that replaced the replaced word, and/or a tactile vibration of the computing device, for example.
