Apple has reportedly patented an autocorrect review system in which autocorrect changes are highlighted to a user once they press the send button.

Before sending the message, users have the option to review any changes made by autocorrect.

Describing the system in its patent, Apple said that it would include a timer to countdown the time they have to make a correction before the message is sent and a menu bar that comes up with buttons to either "Fix Errors," "Reject" the message entirely, or "Accept" it as-is and send it along, Tech Crunch reported.

Meanwhile, following the success in shipment of software, the contents on blogs like Damn You Autocorrect may be greatly affected.
