Finally dumped SwiftKey after being served with an ad for OneDrive inside the fucking keyboard itself. I’m still pissed they sold-out to Microsoft. (Been using it since long before that acquisition)

Now I need something to replace it, but I’ve not explored other options much.

    well, GBoard is definitely the best,

    but I use heliboard because it’s open source.

      I also use heliboard, though I think the autocorrect is trash compared to gboard.

      its a tradeoff I’m willing to put up with for the privacy though.

        this. HeliBoard is quite good, it even has theming options to make it cute if you want to

          This seems to be kind of the consensus. I’m not interested in moving from one theiving shitstain of a company to another. So gboard is a no-go.

          I can’t get voice input to work on Heliboard though. The option is there in toolbar settings, but the button doesn’t show up on the toolbar and there’s no microphone permissions…

              Thanks! That seems to integrate into Heliboard nicely, activating with the voice button that’s now on the toolbar where I expected it.

              I wasn’t expecting this to be two separate components/apps, but I guess that makes sense.
