A lot of Gboard beta users are suddenly remembering they joined the beta.

        For anyone like me who is still hanging on to gboard for swipe,

        I forgot until now you could download a swipe library for heliboard Here by picking raw and then uploading it to heliboard in advanced settings>load gesture typing library.

      FUTO keyboard, Seriously, it’s way better than every other option I’ve looked into. Has material you design support.

      Also a lot of cool in development features like on-device text correction and speech to text with local LLM processing.

        Futo is great unless you constantly switch between several languages. 🥲

            I like the 0 tap approach of gboard, I can switch between English and French within the same sentence (known as frenglish)

      I’ve been using FUTO which is free and open source, has pretty good gesture typing, very good voice to text, and does not connect to the internet. I’m happy with it, but I’m also an idiot and most things make me happy.

      Edit: I am wrong about freedom and open source. Don’t listen to me. I still like the keyboard though.

        FUTO which is free and open source

        It is neither free (as in freedom), nor open source.

        It is source-available.

        For the love of Christ how do I change the FUTO dictionary to recognize curse words?? It’s so unnecessarily puritan

          Just open the main settings and there’s a category called personal dictionary.

            I’ve had a bunch of curse words in there for months but they refuse to show up in swiping or predictive text
