If you use the privacy respecting Gboard alternative called FUTO keyboard, you’ve probably noticed that the built in swipe typing is HOT GARBAGE. (Typing this currently with two thumbs for this exact reason.)

Most keyboards improve their swipe algorithms by simply spying on you and logging your typing data. FUTO isn’t about that, so they have built a simple webpage based typing game that you can use to improve their system in an ethical and voluntary manner! Just swipe the website’s keyboard to type a provided sentence.

I love this, they can crowdsource the improvement without invading privacy!

Share with any relevant communities you’re a part of. The more data, the better this gets.

    I’ve never used swipe typing, so my data is probably garbage, but its kinda fun.

      Data is data! You’re a use case, regardless of swipe ability.

      You can get so fast at it surprisingly quickly. I keep trying to get friends to do it but they’re like “Nah that sucks.”

      I swear almost anyone can get good at it inside a week.
