HeliBoard with Swipe + FUTO have made replacing gboard possible for me. I feel like it’s been a 90% replacement, a far greater degree than some of the decent keyboards currently available. I regularly use but swipe and speech to text in two languages. I’m really really happy and grateful for these tools. 💜
Just in case I’m asked, here’s the basics steps to get it going:
I downloaded the release from https://github.com/Helium314/HeliBoard and then installed. (Or set it up via Obtainium until its ready for F-Droid release)
I downloaded the Swipe library linked on the HeliBoard Github page from here.
Under HeliBoard settings -> advanced, I clicked “load gesture library” and selected the downloaded swipe library
And for voice input, l downloaded Futo from the play store. FYI, it’s free and offline, but not FOSS.
That’s it.
Just setup the two apps with your specifics like the theme and etc. This is what mine looks like now:
