Every year or so I try one or more privacy focused keyboards. I always end up right back on SwiftKey after a couple of weeks because most of the keyboards I try have the same problem: the predictions suck.
Ok, I get that surveillance is good for predictions. Put another way, predictions are tough without collecting everything everyone types. Is there a best-of-both-worlds keyboard out there? I’d be patient enough to give it some time to learn how I type and get better.
I assume you must’ve tried openboard. What issues did you have with it? The predictions have been more than satisfactory in my experience.
Doesn’t seem to have swipe typing, which is important for me. Otherwise it’s great.
ahh, yeah swipe typing is really tough to inplement well without data collection. i used to use it a lot back before i completely degoogled and id be lying if i said i didnt miss it. i honestly just couldn’t find any foss keyboards at all that had swipe typing!
I just installed it. I’ll give it a shot. Seems like something I probably tried years ago and decided I didn’t like it.
