I use the futo keyboard as well, but autocorrect and swiping is not good at all. correctly spelt words constantly gets changed for me, clipboard doesn’t see what I copy too many times and swiping inaccuracy is too frequent.
only reason I put up with it is for the futo microphone. mic app is in a league of it’s own
Oh man, is that the issue with my clipboard? It has been driving me NUTS. The other issues are true, but I can live with them. I’ve really been enjoying FUTO though, so I’m not sure I want to give it up.
I had the same problem, but I found that turning up the advanced Parameter Values in the Text Prediction settings helps to keep everything spelled correctly.
I’m currently at 10.4 for the transformer strength and 8.3 for the autocorrect threshold and I’m noticing a lot less issues… I haven’t tested out turning it up all the way yet.
I also have the Transformer fine tuning enabled.
The swipe feature definitely needs some attention.
They do have a crowdsourced way of helping to improve their swipe prediction, more info on the link here: https://swipe.futo.org/
You’ll notice that even the swipe prediction for Heliboard comes from a closed source library.
Heliboard is basically the same, but has the ability to add glide. Plus suggestions/corrections are already implemented, so I prefer it over Floris (which I used for months before finding heliboard)
Anyone longing looking to add swipe library for heliboard Find it Here by picking raw and then uploading it to heliboard in advanced settings>load gesture typing library.
Sharing because it took me a bit to find it the first time.
Currently using Traditional T9 from F-Droid. Works well.
Even has a decent emoji picker, which is good. 👌 (However, i say that and couldn’t find the OK symbol…)
Good time for FOSS keyboard apps to get some more love
Heliboard and Futo were the recommendations from what I remember?
Futo has been my favorite so far compared to other keyboards. I haven’t used Heliboard yet, but it also looks like a good option.
Futo works really nice! Glide is pretty decent, though not as good as gboard’s. Wish it had custom background images though…

yeah, I quickly switch to another keyboard when I need to see what’s in the keyboard so I can paste it lol.
I’m not giving up either FUTO product though

Damn imma have to save this comment
I’ll take a look at this tonight, thanks buddy
The voice transcription is just OpenAI whisper but yeah it’s pretty great. I used it to write this.
its just OpenAI whisper that runs locally on my device, as god intended lol
I haven’t had any of those issues. Out of curiosity, what version of futo keyboard are you running?
v0.1.24.1-playstore
I made some changes as another poster suggested, doesnt look like it has made any differences yet though
This is the keyboard I use:
Florisboard beta (doesnt have gliding and I think autocorrect yet)

But for a full board: Heliboard is my go-to.
Oh that’s cool, does your device have hardware keys then?
No, Traditional T9 has a virtual keyboard as well.
OpenBoard still works well for me. Including swiping and auto correct.
OpenBoard hasn’t been updated for the last 3 years. HeliBoard is a continuation of the OpenBoard development, I highly recommend it.
