Every character landed correctly — only the mapping was wrong. MetaWhisp reverses it word by word and moves the input source with it. Nothing to press.
Autocorrect cannot help you here. ghbdtn is not a misspelling of anything —
it is привет with every key resolved through the wrong table. Which is also why the fix is exact
rather than a guess: a program that knows both tables reverses it with no interpretation at all.

привет как дела
Correction happens at the moment you finish a word — a space, a newline, a punctuation mark. Type a whole sentence on the wrong layout and it unwinds behind you as you go. A word you are still in the middle of is never touched.
Is this string a real word on the layout it was typed on, and is its mirror a real word on the other? The answer comes from the spell-checking dictionaries macOS already has installed. No network call, no typed text kept.
The word is replaced in place and the input source switches, so the next word lands correctly too. You do not fix the text and then fix the keyboard.
⌘Z puts your original text back in a single step — not one undo per corrected word. If the correction was wrong, you are back where you were immediately, which is the whole reason it is safe to let it act without asking first.
Anything that rewrites text system-wide is only as good as its refusals. A corrector that fires inside a password field mangles a credential you cannot see. One that fires in a terminal rewrites a command mid-line. So it declines — unconditionally, not as a setting you have to remember.
Any field macOS marks as secure, and any moment the system reports secure event input is active anywhere. The correction never reaches your text at all.
Terminal and 1Password are refused out of the box. You can add your own — banking apps, anything you would rather nothing touched.
Automatic is not always what you want. Rare words, brand names and deliberate transliteration sit outside the installed dictionaries, and the automatic pass leaves those alone by design.
Converts the current selection, or the current line if nothing is selected. It is the manual escape hatch for exactly the cases the automatic path is right to skip.
Two limits worth knowing before you turn it on.
Both directions, and that is the whole list in 1.3.27. German, French, Ukrainian and other pairs are not supported yet.
Rewriting text inside other apps is not possible without it. Anything claiming to do this without that permission is worth a closer look.
No. macOS switches input sources with Caps Lock or Control–Space, and autocorrects within the language you are currently typing. It has no feature that recognises a word typed on the wrong layout and rewrites it. That gap is why this exists.
English (US) and Russian, in both directions. No other pairs in version 1.3.27.
No. Corrections are refused in secure text fields, whenever macOS reports secure event input is active, and in apps on the refusal list — Terminal and 1Password included out of the box. You can add more apps yourself.
No. The decision about whether a word is real is made against the spell-checking dictionaries already installed on your Mac. It makes no network calls and retains no typed text.
⌘Z restores your original text in a single step. If a word is regularly corrected when it should not be, turn off the automatic pass and use double Shift on the cases you actually want converted.
Yes. The layout fix is part of the free app. It needs no API key, no subscription and no cloud access — it runs entirely on your Mac.
