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.

    Unexpected keyboard, was meant for termux but can be used for daily use. It’s difficult to get the habit of key positions though.

      I tried it, but couldn’t find basic stuff like how to type áàâ from the letter a… Also no predictions

        Here, its with the secondary functions of letter D, J and N. Yeah no predictions is not a feature but I like to scroll trough text with the space bar and delete backwards. Plus if you hold a key it keeps going like a regular keyboard which I like. Overall I think its a good option for composing emails if you get the hang of it.

          The first two features mentioned are also available with OpenBoard (the Helium-Something fork) afaik
