Look at these sponsors! I wouldn’t use Ladybird in 1750 BC.

    Goddammit, now I have to find another keyboard for my phone. Any recommendations for one that isn’t supported by fascists?

      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.

      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.

            and here we are, longing for your sage wisdom and approval…

      I use Unexpected Keyboard.

      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’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
