If you use the privacy respecting Gboard alternative called FUTO keyboard, you've probably noticed that the built in swipe typing is HOT GARBAGE. (Typing this currently with two thumbs for this exact reason.)

Most keyboards improve their swipe algorithms by simply spying on you and logging your typing data. FUTO isn't about that, so they have built a simple webpage based typing game that you can use to improve their system in an ethical and voluntary manner! Just swipe the website's keyboard to type a provided sentence.

I love this, they can crowdsource the improvement without invading privacy!

I'm trying really hard to not revert back to Swiftkey (again, as I do every time I run out of patience with a new privacy respecting keyboard), and I don't even use swipe typing. I'm still hoping that the more I type the better the predictions will get but after using it for a few months I feel like I'm just adapting to bad predictions rather than the predictions getting better.

Do you have the LLM fine tuning enabled? Mine is pretty good after a few months of training it.

Does it eat a lot of battery for you?
