Every year or so I try one or more privacy focused keyboards. I always end up right back on SwiftKey after a couple of weeks because most of the keyboards I try have the same problem: the predictions suck.

Ok, I get that surveillance is good for predictions. Put another way, predictions are tough without collecting everything everyone types. Is there a best-of-both-worlds keyboard out there? I’d be patient enough to give it some time to learn how I type and get better.

If you need word suggestions use OpenBoard. If you dont, Florisboard is king.

I always turned off these “you cant type and I know it better anyways” suggestions. Also bilingual + colloquial is not great

Suggestions aren’t a thing in Florisboard yet. Still a WIP.

Then why the hell is the top comment recommending Florisboard and saying predictions are highest priority?

The dev is implementing his own word suggestion engine. It will take time before it’s properly implemented.
