What is special about FUTO's keyboard. I would argue HeliBoard (also on f-droid) with the swipelib is the closest to gboard.
For me, it's the first time I've had a keyboard capable of doing dictation since I stopped using Google keyboard in 2019 when I started using lineage OS. Personally, I am very happy to have that feature back.
My ability to type accurately on FUTO's was immediately way better than on HeliBoard.
I really can't explain but I type WAY worse on HelBoard. I'm usually quite accurate typing on phones, but on HeliBoard it's almost as if my finger is always shifted to the side, and that every tap has twice the delay
I saw a video of Rossman doing a presentation on FUTO's keyboard, originally. Eventually he made a statement that he was pissed off that every single keyboard that wasn't Gboard made him feel like he was drunk typing. I immediately said "holy hell, me too!" and went and downloaded it.
Yeah Heliboard with the swipelib is closest to gboard for me, better than Futo, however, Futo has a voice typing app also that is incredibly accurate, and punctuates near perfectly. So I use Heliboard with Futo Voice Typing.
