Since yesterday, the really cool fork of openboard with active development and support of adding a swype library manually, got rebranded into Heliboard. A release on izzyondroidrepo and fdroid should be coming soon.
PS. If you are using the old fork you have to remove it first and do a backup of your settings.
Damn, there are no FOSS glide typing libs, that explains the lack of options with FOSS keyboards.
Why was it forked? Is the original no longer being developed?
How does it compare to floris board ?
I initially used FlorisBoard, but I changed to OpenBoard for the automatic corrections. As far as I know, FlorisBoard can only underline errors in red, then you have to tap the word and select which option it should be. On OpenBoard, a correction is made automatically, and it’s quite accurate!
I actually prefere the way Floris Board handles word correction. I wish for a more complete and reliable way to word suggestion with an actual build-in dictionnary with definition, synonyms, collocation, antonymes… Would actually improve my English :/.
Auto-correction is cool and all, but IMO we shouldn’t relie to much on that.
*Rely 🤣. It’s true, but for me it’s just much faster to have auto-correction, I usually know how words should be written, but I hit the wrong letter quite often, so that’s why this works for me.
Just installed it. Adjusted the settings to my liking. Very nice. Like OpenBoard, but has quite a lot of extras by comparison. Thanks for the tip.
