    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…

      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.

          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

        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.

        The voice transcription is just OpenAI whisper but yeah it’s pretty great. I used it to write this.

        I haven’t had any of those issues. Out of curiosity, what version of futo keyboard are you running?
