After trying so many keyboards for years, heliboard with swipe + futo have finally made replacing gboard possible for me. I feel like it been a 90โ„… replacement, a far greater degree than some of the good (but not quite there) keyboards currently available. I've literally only been using it for a week (for two languages), but I'm really really happy thus far. ๐Ÿ˜Š

Mind if I ask you how did you do it ?

  • I downloaded the release from https://github.com/Helium314/HeliBoard and then installed.
  • I downloaded the swipe library linked in the page from here.
  • under HeliBoard settings -> advanced, I clicked "load gesture library" and selected the downloaded swipe library
  • and for voice input, I dish l downloaded Futo from the play store.

That's it. Just setup the apps.
