When I started to use Android without Google a few months ago, I reached for FUTO keyboard. I love it (supports swiping), and the voice input is great, probably 98+% accurate. I'm using it to type this out right now!

I've been trying to find a FOSS alternative to Gboard that allows you to seamlessly type (and swipe) in multiple languages without having to switch between them. I've tried FUTO keyboard before but it doesn't support that (yet?)

  It does have multi language typing. It works pretty well with the languages combos that I've tried.

    Oh it was added 2 months ago, thanks for letting me know. https://github.com/futo-org/android-keyboard/releases/tag/0.1.24.2 https://github.com/futo-org/android-keyboard/releases/tag/0....

  I am a huge fan of HeliBoard[1], seems to have surprisingly better accuracy, for myself at least. [1] https://github.com/Helium314/HeliBoard https://github.com/Helium314/HeliBoard

  I think a statement like that deserves some references. Otherwise I'd be surprised if it's not breaking some guideline.

  I would like clarification or sources as well. But I don't doubt you, I stopped watching during COVID lockdowns as he started to spew some absolutely vile political opinions and nonsense like COVID isn't real or serious. Broken clock is right twice a day and all that, his right to repair stuff is good.

  Who is "Rossman"?

    Louis Rossmann, right to repair advocate. https://m.youtube.com/@rossmanngroup https://m.youtube.com/@rossmanngroup

      Thanks. I don't do Youtube -- this guy? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Louis_Rossmann https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Louis_Rossmann What did he do/say/write? I've never heard of him before.
      - theandrewbailey 1y ago
        Yes, that's him. He started fixing Macbooks in a New York City park about 17-ish years ago. He specializes in board-level repair, and has autisticly memorized every chip model that routinely fails in every Macbook since. He made that Youtube channel to vent about how Apple makes repairing Macbooks difficult. Over time, he expanded to how other manufacturers makes repair difficult, and even how New York City makes it difficult to do any kind of business. (That's why he moved away.)

  I watch his channel somewhat religiously, and I've never heard him spout homophobic nor racist stuff. (He lived in NYC until recently!) Be careful with those labels, because incorrectly using them outs you as a leftist.

    > outs you as a leftist. Mirth I'm neither left nor right -- the real issues of the world are not about money -- but this is inadvertently hilarious. "Outed" as a "leftist". :-D
