Theres no way this thing is guessing keyclicks by sound on any keyboard. Maybe a specific one. Especially with custom keyboards taking off. My canonkeys 60% sounds nothing like my completely custom elvish keyboard. An AI in this day and age is not ready for that.

Given that it’s AI-trained it may be hard to say, but my guess is that it’s based on timing more than the unique sound of each separate key. Like certain sequences of keys probably have a predictable time between each stroke, based on how long it takes the relevant finger to travel to the next key after the previous one.

So switching to dvorak or colemak would possibly help significantly
