Every year or so I try one or more privacy focused keyboards. I always end up right back on SwiftKey after a couple of weeks because most of the keyboards I try have the same problem: the predictions suck.
Ok, I get that surveillance is good for predictions. Put another way, predictions are tough without collecting everything everyone types. Is there a best-of-both-worlds keyboard out there? I’d be patient enough to give it some time to learn how I type and get better.
I use openboard and it does exactly what I want it to do: it displays characters I can type out myself. I don’t use swipe typing, predictions or autocorrect as those never work well enough, usually exclusively giving shit suggestions or corrections. I also use three languages daily, so I’d have to constantly switch the keyboard language, if I had autocorrect/predictions/swipe turned on.
I do understand that my use case is not the norm, but I still wanted to give my two cents.
Ah, okay, yeah if you don’t use it I don’t see it acting up on you. Lol.
What do you do that requires 3 languages? I’m genuinely curious.
I am bilingual (non-english languages) and use those languages with friends and family. I also use English daily on social media etc.
Wow, that’s amazing!
