Have you ever tried Gboard? It's way better than the first gen of swipe typing.

Have you ever tried Gboard? It's way better than the first gen of swipe typing.
- danjc 9y agoCurious to know whether you've allowed full access to it?
- rspeer 9y agoThe only advantage to Gboard I've seen is that it's built in. I used to use SwiftKey but eventually switched to Gboard just so I didn't have to keep SwiftKey set up. I encounter one frustrating problem with Gboard that I never encountered on other keyboards, and I don't know if it's a bug or if I'm "using it wrong". Sometimes I will swipe-gesture a word and the keyboard simply won't recognize it as a gesture. I could be moving my finger all over the place for 5 seconds and it'll just type the last letter I land on. I backspace and do the same thing again and it works. Am I accidentally making some sort of "out of bounds" gesture without realizing it? Is my phone too slow to start noticing that I'm swiping? Or is this just a random bug?

- bklaasen 9y agoIt's a bug. You just see a single straight line from the first letter to wherever your finger is and the keyboard fails to guess the word.
