Looking for an alternative Keyboard app
Looking for an alternative Keyboard app
Hi friends. My quest to remove Google products from my life continues.
I've always been very fearful of swapping keyboard apps. I can think of no better way to track someone than to bug their keyboard. How can I trust any keyboard software, really? My wishlist:
- Something that addresses my privacy concerns
- Supports both english and portuguese dictionaries at the same time
- Has a dark theme
- Is available on some sort of store, so I don't have to download APKs for every single update
Thanks!

Holy crap do I feel left out. I've been using SwiftKey since before M$ purchased it and since then it has gotten better (except that stupid Bing hub AI BS). I think I've been using SwiftKey for like 9 years now.
Swift key is honestly the best one I have used. Plus now I found the adaptive theme
I didn't even know it had an adaptive theme! Now I gotta look for it and give it a try.
Neither did I. Pretty sure I never really looked after I got my note 8 when it came out. Only got a new phone a week or two ago. No idea when it came out.
Honestly I'm surprised SwiftKey still uses those super basic themes. Looking at the adaptive theme it reminds me of the stock theme
I never really looked for anything crazy. Basic material was fine for me
I just imagine a world where the material folks and the over the top theme folks can coexist on the same keyboard app lol.
Same here. I use it on all my devices and I am so used to it, that I can't use another keyboard. Also, for me autocorrect on SwiftKey is way better than on gboard.
Also same. Sometimes it decides typos are things that I want in my custom dictionary and will start replacing real words with gibberish, and then I have the same dilemma as OP, trying out a ton of different keyboards before eventually reverting to a clean install of SwiftKey.
Weird typo corrections and MS ownership aside, I really like how SwiftKey works and struggle to use anything else.
You can just long press on the gibberish and it won't suggest it again.
Talking about autocorrect weirdnesses, my keyboard (SwiftKey) seems to have a strange fascination with apostrophe s. Whenever I type a plural version of a word which is ending in s, it will autocorrect to apostrophe s!
Love SwiftKey. this is the way.
Bing AI rocks! It's so cool how it works with SwiftKey to make typing easier and faster. I love how it can suggest words, emojis, and even GIFs based on what I'm writing. It also helps me with spelling, grammar, and punctuation. Bing AI is like a smart friend who always knows what to say.
Sounds like Bing AI wrote this 😂
It did, I wanted to see if anyone would catch on 😄
Lol good one
