I used Unexpected Keyboard
Any tips on how to improve typing speed? (without using word suggestion and autocorrect)
I’m interested in how fast people who swipe type are.
Also, do those keyboards like Thumb Key and FlickBoard have the potential “to be faster” than the standard keyboards?
touch type and no word suggestion and autocorrect.
I just tried it with my swipe keyboard and the website didn’t like it at all. It was double entering words randomly when I would otherwise type fine.
That said, I got 34 wpm and 95% accuracy, which is in line with me using a qwerty or Dvorak physical keyboard. I ain’t no Speedy Gonzalez.
Do you touch-type with ten fingers and never hurt yourself? That’s all that matters.
I tried it with open board and had the same issue I’m never going back to non swiping but I miss swype everyday
Swype is great but every now and then I get “swypos” where I’ll think I put the right word and I put something else there and the reader has to figure it out :)
Swipe typing used to be so good for me, but now I have to correct every third word, it feels like. And it keeps correcting to just the most random ass words. Why the hell would it correct “probably” to “pusillanimous”? I’ve tried multiple modern keyboards and they’re all like this, I should download an old apk…
I really wish Microsoft would release the original swype again… Pretty sure I read somewhere that they’re the current owners (due to acquisitions).
25 wpm 83%
I was using phones with hardware keyboards for way too long and never really learned to type on screen keyboards. Now I just hate them and use desktop communicators whenever I can.
HP office keyboard from 2010 (The cadillac of keyboards), and somewhere around 90 WPM.
Thanks, everyone fornletting me kmkw aboit Florisbkard. Im always down to rey to nee opem source keyboard. It has perfext typing.
Edit: I honestly don’t know how anyone could praise an early beta keyboard with no autocorrect and no paricularly compelling features over OpenBoard.
Yah, the Florisboard comments always weird me out. There isn’t a chance in hell I’m using a keyboard without an autocorrect. Everyone must type perfectly with their thumbs except me.
What keyboard did you use to type that comment? Looks like the autocorrect doesn’t work. Or was that unexpected keyboard?
FlorisBoard, the one that so many comments are recommending. No idea why. It doesn’t even have autocorrect yet.
You only need autocorrect if the keyboard is the wrong size, and florisboard can be adapted to your needs perfectly
