I would love it if we could get something like SwiftKey, but actively developed. Its predictions are magic, but lately it has been getting more and more buggy, suggesting words that don't exist, changing already-correct words to nonsense, and refusing to learn.
- philips 6y agoI am experiencing the same issues with GBoard: suggestions just getting worse and worse. I dug through the settings and haven’t seen anything obvious.
- popeathlete 6y agoTry AnySoftKeyboard. Works great and is FOSS.
- przmk 6y agoIn my experience, the predictions were atrocious and not very smart, at least in French. It also couldn't detect words that had personal pronouns or determiners with an apostrophe, I had to type the apostrophe manually which is a no-go for me. And it does not support having multiple languages at once which is incredibly inconvenient when you frequently have to switch between 4 languages when typing and when you often mix some of them. But if you type without the autocorrect and the predictions, it can be great, I guess.
- cerved 6y agothis. gboard is the only solution I've used that's decent at multilingual typing it still gets confused when you mix languages but in general it's ok
- StavrosK 6y agoThis looks interesting so far, thank you.
- Semaphor 6y agoTry deleting cache and data (backup your personal dictionary first). As with everything smart that learns (obviously YMMV, but that is my experience) it gets worse over time. Back when I used SwiftKey I deleted everything once a month to have a decent experience.
- StavrosK 6y agoI do that semi-often, it does get better for a bit and then trash again.
