I use Heliboard with futo voice typing
is there any open source Android Keyboard with a translate feature?
I’m using Hacker’s Keyboard, it’s got all the keys where I expect them. None of the others feel right, but the fact it hasn’t been updated in years does worry me. If anyone knows of a keyboard with a similar layout (separate number row, ctrl, esc, alt and cursor keys in place and the usual symbols as long press on the numbers) I’d love to try it out.
Heliboard for normal communication (glide typing) and Hackers Keyboard for shell/remote desktop/programming type usage. Generally i find the keys too small and typing on a touch screen is slow and annoying, so i use a real computer to type whenever i can.
My typing accuracy is much better with gboard, but I don’t use it because google…
I have never used voice to text nor voice controlled assistant etc. as I have no interest in doing that. My phone is muted 99.9% of the time, I prefer to operate in silence…
unfortunately Futo seems to only be source-available and not libre software :/
though I can +1 the Heliboard recommendation! idk when they added it but it finally has a multilingual keyboard function :)
AnySoft Keyboard, Heliboard doesn’t support esperanto.
Thumb-Key for a couple years. Handing phone to a relative when they request to look something up and seeing their puzzled stare has been the best part.
Any deterrent is a good one. I don’t let others touch my tech the way Joey doesn’t share food.
I was using it some time ago. people were 💀 after seeing it
Simple Keyboard.Just switched to Heliboard. Thanks, OP!It doesn’t have many features
I know, I just need a keyboard and nothing more.
Though I might have to try out Heliboard to know what I’m missing.
EDIT: Wow, I’m trying it out now, and it’s like I have a completey different phone! I’m switching to Heliboard full-time now, thank you!
It’s really a good keyboard
LineageOS stock
Heliboard!
I use Florisboard Beta with the FloriStyle theme (It’s a Gboard theme). The only thing I really miss with it is text predictions but they’re still working on that and it’s not that big of a deal.
I use florisboard beta, missing some features but nothing I don’t need.
Spell check is there, but only after you finish typing the word. (No predictive text yet)
Edit: I am trying Heliboard and so far its pretty good.
I have been using thumb-key.
I gave thumb key an honest shot for a few days but I found it cumbersome. Swiping takes too much time and effort compared to tapping, and you’re better off just using a normal keyboard.
I like Unexpected keyboard. It’s different, but works great and is highly customizable
Heliboard looks promising. Will give it a try!
Currently my favourite.
I’ve tried EVERYTHING. And I mean EVERY possible foss android keyboard. I don’t even think its a matter of taste but just fact that heliboard works best.
Florisboard was decent for a while but at the end of the day heliboard is the correct answer
