Is it possible to have an on-screen keyboard that provides word suggestions without compromising privacy? (kbin.social)

I've been playing with both the Thumb and the Unexpected keyboards. I like 'em both but, man, I have to admit I'd like them more if they had that top bar that predicts what you might be. Is that just a no-go from a privacy perspective? Can that functionality be local?

(I also wouldn't mind a good voice typing feature)

Yeah, modern arm CPUs can run at 3GHz and play PS4 level games, but I don't want my phone to become a handwarmer every time I want to typefvvn a quick email...

And of course, I'm not talking about correcting "fuck" to "duck", I'm talking about ChatGPT level prediction. Or llama2, or gemini nano, or whatever....
