I was definitely more excited for this project when they didn’t randomly abandon it for over a year and a half unannounced. Also spell check is still non-functional. That feature seems like a requirement, otherwise it’d be an amazing keyboard. In fact, I’d say it would be the best.
I agree. I dropped it recently for a non-FOSS alternative because I just can’t deal with the lack of predictive text/autocorrect
HeliBoard is a good foss option that has autocorrect and stuff! You can also give it swipe typing by supplying your own proprietary blob, so that’s neat. Better than using a non-foss keyboard!
I’d try Heiboard again, but it didn’t have built-in layout options, nor a clearly communicated way to get them last I tried it.
I’ve used HeliBoard for a while before going back to GBoard, unfortunately. It’s a decent keyboard but I’m a swipe feature user and prediction plus autocorrect was very bad for me using it. I used FlorisBoard for a while also and it has more features,but no swipe support at all,plus only English support.
I think that’s on the development plate for 0.5 if I understand correctly.
Sadly AnysoftKeyboard hasn’t seen a release in some time either. Still using it for now, though.
I’m still excited. I’ve probably used it long enough to simply not miss autocorrect. And it does multilingual bit very well!
