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 tried it a while ago but found the predictions were bad. Maybe I'll give it another shot
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
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.
