Hi there,

I wanted to improve my native language dictionary (there is a lot of words missing) in OpenBoard app and I was wondering if anyone could help me out with it?

This is how it's described on their Github page, but I never used github so I'm not even sure where to start.

Dictionary creation

To create or update a dictionary for your language, you can use this tool. You will need a wordlist, as described here. The output .dict file must be put in res/raw, and its wordlist in dictionaries.

For your dictionary to be merged into OpenBoard, you must provide the wordlist you used, as well as its license if any.

Also, is this project still supported? It seems to be the best FOSS keyboard for me, but it seems the last update was a year ago.

Thanks

OpenBoard seems dead. No word from the devs and no commit in almost a year. There is one fork that is trying to implement some new features here: https://github.com/Helium314/openboard/
