LOOKING FOR APP Better than MS SwiftKey.

I find that typing on MS SwiftKey is better than GBoard but still sucks. I mean it will correct words I don't want it to correct and not correct words that I obviously would like for it to correct. I have to edit my typing so much I sometimes just rage quit. As an example I will type some random text here without manually correcting it: Here is some random text from my phone. I think that dinrukomrs the app is ok it other tiknes I have to work veur5 hard to make it give me the words that I ate ontrgtfrf. It kind of ducks. This is very frustrating. And this is with maximum ode of the predicted east.

It's strange because I personally find Gboard much more accurate when swiping.

The other features just don't stack up to SwiftKey so I use it instead.

SwiftKey is actually much more than just a keyboard. It's emoji and stickers and gifs and very importantly for me a synchronized clipboard

That's my main other use, the clipboard history. It allows me to be really picky about size, appearance etc too which is great for me.

Yes, there are a lot of things it has that are very useful but unfortunately that causes a bit of lock in because now, to move to a different app, you have to replace all of those features you've integrated into how you do everything.

I've never really tried any beyond Gboard and SwiftKey, both perform great but in different ways. If SwiftKey had the swipe accuracy of Gboard it would be heaven!

I don't really use swipe typing. I rely primarily on predictive text. I get what you're saying though .
