In a society striving toward greater inclusion shouldn’t our technology also treat people equally?   Let the Tech Giants know how their technology is affecting you and share your story #iamnotatypo

Our names are some of the most important words in our lives. For many, names are the greatest connection we have to our own sense of identity, individuality and sense of self.  Let us know what your name means by visiting iamnotatypo.org #iamnotatypo 📱✨

What that says to people is 'this society isn't really for you' We spoke to I Am Not A Typo as 42% of the names of babies born in Northern Ireland in 2022 are considered ‘typos’ by Microsoft. #NTBK #ListenBack newstalk.com/podcasts/highl…

2,328 children were named Esmae in the last five years, compared to only 36 children named Nigel. Despite its popularity, UK based smart technology still fails to recognise the name Esmae as a valid name. That doesn’t make much sense to us and it shouldn’t to you. #iamnotatypo

Over the past few days we have received stories from people all across the country, sharing their experiences with autocorrect and spellcheck over the years. It has been wonderful hearing from every single one of you (🥹)- this is the reason we started this campaign. #iamnotatypo

Can you spot the typo?👀 We’re asking the Tech Giants to update their dictionaries so everyone’s name is treated equally, because no one should feel like a typo. For more information visit iamnotatypo.org📱✨ #iamnotatypo
