gboard is the the one that I ended up settling on after Swype went belly up. it’s not the greatest, but it’s better than whatever else I’ve been able to find.

Nintype (AKA keyboard 69) is the only double-swipe keyboard I’ve ever used that works worth a damn. Android development was abandoned a while ago, so you’ve gotta find the APK yourself. Someone on the subreddit made a hackjob update called keyboard 71 which fixes some random bugs and introduces some new ones, that’s what I’m currently using. I wanna say I average around 85 wpm typing casually.

It’s also got the smartest autocorrect I’ve ever fucked with, learning dictionary, all that jazz. Damn shame it was abandoned. If it ever stops working on android I reckon I’ll just have to buy an iphone :/

Haha I came here to insult the Samsung keyboard but you’ve already done my job

I’ve been using SwiftKey from day one, and it works phenomenally

I used to use Gboard. I still do, but I used to as well.

It used to be my default. Every time I got a new android device, I would immediately install Gboard before doing anything else.

But lately, it’s been garbage. It’s been getting words wrong that I never had problems with previously. It randomly capitalizes normal words in the middle of sentences and I can’t seem to train it not to do that. Like “Ever” is the standard capitalization now. I need to manually fix it every time I use that word.

It’s been forgetting my name, which is annoying because I have a very unique first and last name and I had previously trained it to swipe my name.

It’s also just sticking with variations of a suggested word instead of giving me words in the same swipe area to select. Like if I swipe “food” and it autocorrects with “good,” my options to correct the autocorrect are things like “goodness,” “goody,” “God,” etc.

I’m trying to de-Google my life right now, so finding a new digital keyboard seems like a good idea. I’m gonna try some of the suggestions in this thread. I am definitely NOT recommending Gboard.

SwiftKey. I know, it’s owned by Microsoft. But I paid for the app long before Microsoft bought the company. I tried so many other apps to replace it, but prediction wise, I can’t find any comparable replacement.

The Samsung keyboard had a data breach a while ago. That should tell you all you need to know about Samsung products. Use Heliboard. Its great

I have no recommendation, but I wanted to say that I have the SAME issue. I was on a Pixel 3 and I swear that swipe could read my mind. I would be so lazy to swipe/type and I feel it would come out like 95% accurate. Then I switched to a Samsung note, and their swipe always gets it wrong multiple times in a a row. I now tap to type more than swipe.

I’m using Heliboard after giving up on Floris. You have to load the Google swipe library, it seems to work pretty well.

I doubt if there’s a major difference between them all but for each one there’ll be a getting used to curve that you just need to get over. In case you didn’t know. You can swipe on the space bar to move the cursor. You’re all welcome.

Florisboard has decent swipe typing from what I remember, and should be available in F-droid.

EDIT: after checking, I see Floris has not been updated in two years on f-droid. :(
