    That’s only because it’s forcibly downloaded as the stock keyboard on some devices, haha. For me, personally: Go HeliBoard!

      Thanks for this! I recently switched phones and was pretty upset when I couldn’t find openBoard on fdroid or the play store.
      I’ve been getting by alright with fossify keyboard, but I’m so happy to see openboard’s been forked!

        Yes, and you can even download a local swipe package for it. I think it can’t do open-source speech-to-text, but that’s a small price to pay for a nearly fully key-customizable keyboard.

      I like Heliboard but its prediction can be wildly frustrating sometimes. At least when using a swipe library with it.

      Thanks for making me aware of this I’ll try it out.

      I know there’s a lot of issues with this group of developers but I’m enjoying FUTO Keyboard
