Right now a lot of us are trying to divest and diversify from having our entire lives on Google both because of the way Google spends its money and the long-standing privacy concerns seeming a bit more scary now.
What services have you switched to and what has your experience been? What do you like, what don’t you like, would you recommend them?
I’ve tried HeliBoard as already suggested elsewhere, but I find its autocorrect and suggestions absolutely abysmal in English and even worse in my native Bulgarian. With Gboard I can usually type a letter or two and it already knows what’s up, and it often knows what’s the next word based just on the previous one.
How’s your experience with it?
I tried Heliboard but went back to SwiftKey. It’s the best keyboard I’ve found. It’s from Microsoft but I have internet access disabled in Tracker Control and it works fine with multiple languages, swipe and emoji.
