Fix Wrong Keyboard Layout Typing
If your text looks incorrect because you were typing with the wrong keyboard layout, you may not need to retype everything. A keyboard layout converter can map the characters to the intended layout and produce corrected text.
For example, if you accidentally typed using QWERTY instead of another supported layout, select the layout that was used for typing and the layout you intended to use, then convert the text.
