Auditioning many keyboards on my new phone, absolutely nothing is as good as SwiftKey. None of the FOSS keyboards have a one handed mode and swipe-typing. WTF.

Gboard is decent, but will not let me set another voice to text service, plus... Google sucks.

This is a huge issue to me.

Concur.

I tried #futo but the word prediction was awful.

Also back to #Swiftkey, unfortunately.

I am using it now and it has potential.

I think I will just be using SwiftKey until. Some others mature.

Real talk, whats one handed mode??

The Beave 1y ago

Being able to type/Swype with one hand. Two hand typing is effing lame.

Ragamuffin 1y ago

Ok im really not trying to be dense here, but i can swipe one handed with any keyboard that has swipe... am just gorela paw?

Ragamuffin 1y ago

I just wrote this one handed. "Swiped" ironically is a difficult word to do lol

The Beave 1y ago
