Smart android keyboard respecting privacy?

Hello, could someone recommended a keyboard for android that is a bit smart in predictive typing? I used to like swiftkeybefore it was bought by microsoft. Not that swiftkey itself was much better but I was not so privy conscious at that time.

I recall swiftkey would require access to your texts and emails to train itself to your predictions.

Is there some similar foss keyboard where all the data then remains local?

I know swiftkey has an incognito mode, but then it stops learning from your typing.

Does it have the option to have a separate number row? I didn’t see it in the preview images.

Nevermind, I’m blind.

Added number row support to more languages

No update in over a year. Is the project still maintained?

neme,

There’s fork that gets updates

github.com/Helium314/openboard

helpImTrappedOnline,

Thanks for the suggestion, this openboard fork has been great the last two weeks.

I use AnySoftKeyboard

I also use AnySoftKeyboard (installed from F-Droid, BTW) but IMO it kinda sucks. In particular, it often tries to autocorrect things to capitalized proper nouns, which is almost always exactly the wrong thing to do.

Frankly, I’m reading this thread in hopes of finding something else to replace it.

Does it have a predictive function? Based on what?

TeaEarlGrayHot,

I use AnySoft as well–it has a predictive word function that seems to work just as well as GBoard’s (albeit I haven’t used GBoard since 2017)

The interface is different (e.g. swype left on the entire keyboard for numbers), but give yourself a week or two to adjust–most things can also be fine-tuned from the settings app

I’ll give it a try, thanks

Gboard and blocked network

Make sure to click the voice to text icon (and maybe enable in settings?) before disabling network permissions. It will download the model and do voice to text off line. It works alarmingly well.

I'd have to root?

I use GOS so built in firewall but there is also fake-VPN based ones that don’t require root.

Thanks for the link! I already use blokada, so only one vpn-like service at a time I think?
