Smart android keyboard respecting privacy?
(lemmy.world)
Hello, could someone recommended a keyboard for android that is a bit smart in predictive typing? I used to like swiftkeybefore it was bought by microsoft. Not that swiftkey itself was much better but I was not so privy conscious at that time.
I recall swiftkey would require access to your texts and emails to train itself to your predictions.
Is there some similar foss keyboard where all the data then remains local?
I know swiftkey has an incognito mode, but then it stops learning from your typing.
I use Typewise. A swiss company, by far the best keyboard layout and they don't use any data from what you type.
Is it open source?
I'm guessing that it isn't. So don't use it.
Its not open source, but if you really want to you can use an offline version. In this case no data gets shared at all.
