What android keyboard app do you use and why? (lemmy.today)

I use Gboard.

The main things I like about it are:

  • Very customizable (I like having number row always visible, and having long press for symbols on each letter).
  • Has gif support built in.

My biggest pain point is:

  • It auto corrects words that are spelled correctly to other words. I type "our" and it changes to "out", I recently typed "purpose" and it changed it to "purple". Autocorrect is awesome and necessary, but I hate that it corrects words to other words and not just typos. I wish I could find a keyboard that has the things I like without this annoyance.

Am I looking for a unicorn? Let me know! ๐Ÿ˜„

I've been using SwiftKey since like, 2012?

I just like the custom keyboards, and it learns my mistakes when I swipe. I always carry 2 phones, so I was able to sync the 2nd phone so my swipes are already learned on that phone.

Also, there's a snow keyboard that collect snow at the bottom of the screen as you swipe.

Has your autocorrect been getting worse? I use swipe and it seems to be mixing up words way worse than it used to.

Or am I just getting bad at typing lol

[โ€“] Denalduh@lemmy.world 3 points 3 months ago

100% been getting worse. I was just talking to a buddy about how bad SwiftKey has been getting and I want to look for an alternative.

[โ€“] MiDaBa@lemmy.ml 2 points 3 months ago

I'm fairly certain it's getting worse.
