For anyone like me who is still hanging on to gboard for swipe,
I forgot until now you could download a swipe library for heliboard Here by picking raw and then uploading it to heliboard in advanced settings>load gesture typing library.
I’ve been using FUTO which is free and open source, has pretty good gesture typing, very good voice to text, and does not connect to the internet. I’m happy with it, but I’m also an idiot and most things make me happy.
Edit: I am wrong about freedom and open source. Don’t listen to me. I still like the keyboard though.
Don’t use gboard, rather download a keyboard from F-Droid and avoid the keylogging :-)
Which one do you use? I haven’t found one that works as well as the Google one yet
HeliBoard is pretty nice

Thank you, I reinstalled Heli after your comment.
Glad to help!
FUTO keyboard, Seriously, it’s way better than every other option I’ve looked into. Has material you design support.
Also a lot of cool in development features like on-device text correction and speech to text with local LLM processing.
Futo is great unless you constantly switch between several languages. 🥲
idk 2 klicks to switch a language works well enough for me with futo.
I like the 0 tap approach of gboard, I can switch between English and French within the same sentence (known as frenglish)
Simple keyboard. I went minimalistic

It is neither free (as in freedom), nor open source.
It is source-available.
I stand corrected.
For the love of Christ how do I change the FUTO dictionary to recognize curse words?? It’s so unnecessarily puritan
Just open the main settings and there’s a category called personal dictionary.
I’ve had a bunch of curse words in there for months but they refuse to show up in swiping or predictive text
Or at least use SwiftKey, and turn off mobile and wifi in app settings, something you cannot do for pre-installed apps like gboard
