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 a openboard + native library for flow typing. I was long time gboard user but open board is now best for me. https://github.com/Helium314/openboard
Openboard is my go-to as well. I like how customizable it is as well. I need bigger keys otherwise i fat finger everything lol.
So helpful, I've been trying to find a replacement for gboard for so long that has the gliding functionality, plus clipboard and easily accessible microphone for speach to text typing (using Futo).
Can finally really consider replacing Gboard for good.
Than you!
Oh neat, I had no idea someone was upgrading Openboard. I thought it was abandoned.
Last update was 3.Nov.2023 but use OpenBoard debug from Helium 314 from github and use Optanium for upgrade on android. https://github.com/ImranR98/Obtainium
Holy crap, I didn't know about this fork before now. I kinda thought that OpenBoard was sorta... abandoned at this point, but seeing the improvements from this fork just made me go and try it again. Normally I just use GBoard with it's connections disabled (CalyxOS, so that is possible to do in a secure way), but trying this out now to see if I can dump Gboard entirely.
Thank you, thank you, thank you!
Futo, I didn't find on fdroid or github, where can I looking for it? Thanx
You need to add the repository to fdroid
Thanx. Best regards
I'm sorry, I'm not familiar with the word "futo". Do you mean the swipelib file?
Do you know where we can get the apk?
On the releases tab of the project ;D
Thanks. I don't know how I missed that.
Where I can get native library?
Read the first entry under Features on the GitHub page.
I ctrl+fed "native" and "features" and got nothing. What am I missing?
Here's a link to the anchor
I did not found it because it is needed to switch to "new" branch. The installation of the library is not trivial (adb and such), so I ended installing AnySoftKeyboard. Thanks for your help.
Not sure I trust a random repo here. I dont have the skill to look through the code. In this regard I prefer - after all - gboard. The changes me login credentials get stolen by google are smaller than the chanches I am duped into installing a random keyboard from github. Just based on my threat model and my skillz.
