I’ve looked at a few on fdroid and they all seem like they aren’t being maintained anymore.
Edit: I’ve spent the past day trying most all of the suggested keyboards here and I think I’ve landed on either Unexpected Keyboard or AnySoftKeyboard. Thanks for all the suggestions. Thumbkey is quite the thing to get used to.
I develop thumb-key, so it’s maintained.
Typed with thumb-key. This is so hard, but im determined :)
Usually gets much easier after a few days.
Unexpeted Keyboard is the one for me. Takes a bit to get used to but I wouldn’t want to use anything else anymore.
AnySoftKeyboard
+1 for floris, it’s the only keyboard with glide typing and themes are super good.
AOSP 14 works great and has swipe.
Florisboard is a good one.
Typing this on OpenBoard __
I really recommend AnySoftKeyboard.
Not every project needs regular maintenance. I can imagine a keyboard to be a finished product, no updates necessary.
I won’t pretend to know how tightly integrated the keyboard is within the Android OS, but given the interoperability between app and keyboard it seems likely that vulnerabilities could be leveraged to gain malicious access to the clipboard and other sensitive data.
Are there any good privacy focused voice to text keyboards? Or do I need to run whisper on a private server to do that?
Futo voice input.
Pretty impressive
To type with only one finger, there’s 8Vim.
So this is definitely not for everyone but Thumb-Key is privacy friendly and designed to be used with just one thumb. I have used Thumb-Key (and it’s predecessor Message Ease) for about 4 years now and they are way easier for me than qwerty, there are fewer buttons so typos are less frequent and you can access all letter/numbers/punctuation while holding your phone one handed.
It’s kinda like Japanese keyboards
In general or just on phones?
On phones
Omg I’m so frustrated with QWTY on phones I’m giving this a try now!
You sonuvabich beat me by 2 minutes! ಥ_ಥ
What made you initially look for an alt keyboard? I have huge problems hitting the buttons on querty and started by looking for a chorded layout.
I sawa video on MessageEase and thought it was neat. Also, I hate legacy problems like QWERTY… And things like qwerty on phone screens.
