Hello, could someone recommended a keyboard for android that is a bit smart in predictive typing? I used to like swiftkeybefore it was bought by microsoft. Not that swiftkey itself was much better but I was not so privy conscious at that time.
I recall swiftkey would require access to your texts and emails to train itself to your predictions.
Is there some similar foss keyboard where all the data then remains local?
I know swiftkey has an incognito mode, but then it stops learning from your typing.
I also use AnySoftKeyboard (installed from F-Droid, BTW) but IMO it kinda sucks. In particular, it often tries to autocorrect things to capitalized proper nouns, which is almost always exactly the wrong thing to do.
Frankly, I’m reading this thread in hopes of finding something else to replace it.

If I could throw a large sum of money at one of these open source projects and get a guaranteed good keyboard as a result, I would do it. Unfortunately, even with the best people doing the best work at this, it’s a tough project to crack. Google just has a lot more data about how people use keyboards… Because, well you know.
