what keyboard APP do you use?
-
SwiftKey, as it supports 4 simultaneous languages pretty well, including diacritics and predictions. It's owned by Microsoft so I wouldn't recommend it unless you have this specific requirement.
I need multilingual swipe typing support, and unfortunately nothing else comes even close to SwiftKey. AnySoftKeyboard is open source, and is pretty good for swipe support in one language

Is it even legal to use lemmy with any other keyboard than thumb-key?
-
HeliBoard
I tried all the open source options and this seems to be the best. Still makes a hell of a lot of autocorrect errors......but still the best.

Heliboard without the google swipe library. I also use Futo Voice when I have a lot to type.

I used this for a while to get away from SwiftKey but the lack of a built in gif search function pushed me back. Dumb I know but I use it. Is there any way around that?

I just manually search tenor.com or whatever gif site and send a link or download and send as an attachment. Annoying extra step but I'm using futo due to privacy/degoogle, so I don't mind the extra work.

I just let ai do whatever it wants

Same here. The FUTO keyboard seems to have the best swiping feature among open source keyboards.

FUTO. It's as basic and barebones as Gboard, while also having more optional features and not owned by Google.

Its simply the best. I just wished it has japanese kanji prediction

I think I might have found a replacement for Gboard just now. First I found Fossify had a keyboard, but no Japanese input. Then I found one I'm gonna have to get used to that I'm currently trying out:
スミレ日本語キーボード ( Sumire Japanese keyboard )
I need to comb through settings to see if this is actually the keyboard for me, but I am liking it sk far. Really have to check if for their English QWERTY board there is a setting to bring the period to the letter section or if it is trapped with the other punctuation and make it so it automatically puts a space after doing one of their suggested words in the top bar thing.
The Japanese board is 9-key and also has a QWERTY romaji board, so I'm satisfiedright now. I personally don'tcare about the romaji board since I can read hiragana and katakana and I prefer 9-key because it's what I am used to on Gboard, but it's coolfor those that need it for any reason.
I also just learned before posting my comment that the keyboard defaults to that Japanese 9-key everytime you bring up the keyboard. Not a big deal, just another thing to learn and get used to.
Edit: switching to HeliBoard for English and switching as need be for Japanese. Just making the switch to get stuff done in a more efficient and timely manner.

Thank you! I've been stuck with Gboard since there are no good 9-key japanese input apps, but this one was instantly usable! This + futo seems like it'll be a good setup for me.

I want to use it exclusively so bad, but I spend most of my time deleting and manually rewriting almost every word when I need to type fast. Been using a swipe keyboards for over a decade, and its swipe feature is still so far behind usable.
And Arabic voice recognition on the advanced multilingual model is garbage, it just types random shit that doesn't even rhyme with what I said.

I tried FUTO keyboard out for so long and spent ages contributing swipe data. But its without a doubt the worst keyboard all ive ever used. Kills battery and has bad autocorrect.
I'm using heliboard now and it has no swipe but at least auto correct works well and its good on battery.

Typewise.

Once you get used to it, it is very good. Nice large buttons, fast typing, strong privacy (e.g. EU based, on-device-only learning for next word suggestions), customizable, and you can also get the pro version forever with a single purchase instead of using the subscription model.

Kills battery
My battery usage is unchanged for me
