I use florisboard, it doesnt have built-in voice support but you can use a seperate app for that and more unfortunately it doesnt have corrections and recommendations. They are working on implementing them but even without that its by far the most solid keyboard ive found.
and here we are, longing for your sage wisdom and approval…
Anyone who openly hosts or works with yarvin doesn’t get my trust, business, or attention. None of the already established and successful projects futo claims to have given ‘grants’ to need futo’s help, and I don’t need futo.
It’s mainly made for programming or using Termux, and it makes some special characters more accessible than the classic keyboards. It also has a mechanic for typing special characters that makes it faster to type. And you can enable a compose key, which is something I love to see on a phone keyboard.
Unexpected doesn’t have voice recognition though, but it can be enabled by installing a voice recognition app alongside the keyboard.
Thanks for posting this! I’ve been looking to switch away from Swiftkey since MS bought it, and I love the easily accessible symbols on this (I do a bit of terminalling on mobile).
I don’t use the voice type thing anyhow. i get its usefulness, but I often don’t like being perceived and speaking my texts aloud makes that difficult. looks like it does lots of other cool stuff though. does it do swipe to text? I like that a lot.
ETA: I looked at it and see the swipe to corner feature, which looks neat, but was referrering above to the ability to swipe through multiple letters to make a word.
i wouldn’t call it a drop-in replacement (i don’t think it has swipe-to-type or voice recognition for example, tho i could be wrong) but for me it works even better
futo collaborates with and platforms curtis yarvin, a self-described fascist
they also did a bunch of other shady bullshit which the article talks about, but which i don’t consider to be as important
curtis yarvin sounds like the name of a star wars imperial officer the nazis are getting out of control
Where were you during the Battle of Curtis Yarvin?
Can we stop giving a shit about stuff like this? Open source is arguably more important than a single peraon’s political beliefs…
as a trans woman i’d rather not promote and fund (indirectly, but still) the people who want people like me dead
i’d rather their white supremacy, misogyny and queerphobia not become the norm in open-source spaces, more than it already is…
WTF!? “Can we just get over allowing and promoting Nazis into this bar? What’s important is that the beer is free”
What a disgusting sentiment to see upvoted on Lemmy.
Futo is doing far too much good.
Goddammit, now I have to find another keyboard for my phone. Any recommendations for one that isn’t supported by fascists?
Could someone fork the FUTO keyboard? Idk how this works

You’re getting astro turfed to hate a company that is actively fighting tech monopolies. Please take a minute to reflect on why this happens.
You’re astroturfing to allow right wing influencers to be legitimatized socially. Please take a minute to reflect on why you are enabling Nazis.
You sound like a reasonable person, totally not internet brained, and I long for your approval.

i’ve switched to HeliBoard on my tablet!
i wouldn’t call it a drop-in replacement (i don’t think it has swipe-to-type or voice recognition for example, tho i could be wrong) but for me it works even better
Thanks for the reminder, to try out Heliboard again!
It does have swipe, but you need to download an extra thing iirc.
Here is the extra thing: https://github.com/Helium314/HeliBoard/wiki/8.-Advanced.
How do enable voice to text?
just downloaded it and am trying it out now. the autocorrect already seems better lol
