Anyone tried this? Works perfectly for me. Any reason why I should go back to the OpenBoard fork with Swipe?
minus-squaresimple@lemm.eelinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up5·1 year agoDoes it actually have swipe typing? I just downloaded to check and it doesn’t seem like it does.

minus-squareTiritibambix@lemmy.mllinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up3·1 year agoJeez, I tried it before and just tried again now and I can not find the swipe to text option. I think I’m either blind or stupid. I hope I’m not both
minus-squareWhoRoger@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up1·1 year agoAre you sure you have the fork with gesture typing support? They’re both called OpenBoard with no external distinction.

minus-squarescrchngwsl@feddit.uklinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up3·1 year agothat’s actually really good - thanks!
minus-squarepruneaue@lemmy.blahaj.zonelinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up2·1 year agoFlorisboard also has gesture typing, however i rarely use it. I find i make a lot more mistakes than i did swipe typing with gboard
minus-squareWhoRoger@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up2·1 year agoIt doesn’t have suggestions tho, so swipe is kinda useless if you don’t get the right word. And the rebooted version has been in alpha development for so long, it’s essentially dead.
