I'm trying really hard to not revert back to Swiftkey (again, as I do every time I run out of patience with a new privacy respecting keyboard), and I don't even use swipe typing. I'm still hoping that the more I type the better the predictions will get but after using it for a few months I feel like I'm just adapting to bad predictions rather than the predictions getting better.
I'm using this one. https://github.com/Helium314/HeliBoard Once I downloaded dictionary for my native language+ English that came preinstalled, and granted permission to learn from my typing, it's pretty good.
Not as good as swift key, but enough for my needs. I don't use swipe typing but someone I know said it is alright.
I was skeptical first but after a day or two or became good and now after a month I can't explain why I didn't make the switch earlier it's perfect for my use and I feel more in line with my values
I tried it a while ago but found the predictions were bad. Maybe I'll give it another shot
Does not have swipe except when using a Google library
The Google library is fully offline as far as everyone knows. Sure it's a binary blob and projects such as this linked here aim to finally break free from that dependency. But for the time being, I'll be Ok with that offline blob until this futo becomes a viable alternative.
Do you have the LLM fine tuning enabled? Mine is pretty good after a few months of training it.
Wait you can train the Futo keyboard? I tried it a while ago and noticed the poor accuracy and decided to shelve it for a while.
Yeah, it's been on and to answer questions below, no it doesn't affect my battery.
I'm having small problems like suggesting capitalized words in the middle of a sentence and suggesting capitalized words as a different word than the non capitalized ones. Like it'll suggest "That" in the middle of a sentence and also "that" at the same time, so two of the three slots are taken up.
Does that affect your battery much? The warning pushed me away from trying it.
No noticeable difference.
Does it eat a lot of battery for you?
Nope
