Got recommended a video going over this keyboard. Looks pretty good so far despite being in an alpha!

Heliboard is a lot better and the killer feature, offline voice recognition works only for English properly.

Edit: it looks like there is a voice input only app they make that is separate, that is what I use. https://voiceinput.futo.org/

Did you mean “but”? Helioboard is a full-blown keyboard if I remember, and FUTO is offline voice LLM only, with multiple language support. I only speak English but it works great. It’s not a keyboard that types, you just click it when you want to speak.

I find the futo keyboard works great. Swipe is the only feature that’s not so great as it’s fairly inaccurate

I saw a comment about that on the video I watched. Seems like the way to make it learn was to tap on the correct suggestion.

All in all seems great but is it good for privacy and safe to use

I see they have a multilingual version, but is it possible to set it to use only English and one other language? SwiftKey does that and it works great.

Check for yourself: https://gitlab.futo.org/keyboard/latinime/-/blob/master/LICENSE.md

You can release modified versions as long as they’re non-commercial and follow a couple of additional rules.
