I’ve been using SwiftKey for waaaaaaay too long. I shoulda switched when Microsoft bought them out.
But old habits die hard. And I love the skin I use.
Help they know everything I’ve typed on a phone. That can’t be good for anyone.
Edit: Holy fuck everyone, thanks for all of the responses!
I went with Heliboard, and typing this, it looks like I have to change a couple more settings to get it like I had Swiftkey, but I already like it more.
The fact you can basically make your own skin by changing all of the colors of the keyboard is amazing.
Fuck microsoft’s ai keyboard.
Heliboard for lyfe!
Edit edit: trying to delete my data from Swiftkey was INSANELY hard. I couldn’t do it from my phone, so I had to login with a computer. They think they are slick… Fuckers…
I have Heliboard set to English (UK) and it suggests British spellings (highlighting the American ones as typos), so I think you should be good. However, I’m not sure if the spellings come from my phone’s system or from the keyboard…
I would nevertheless recommend trying it: it has some very nice improvements over OpenBoard and is under active development, so you could request new features or report bugs and expect them to be taken care of.
