Got recommended a video going over this keyboard. Looks pretty good so far despite being in an alpha!

Heliboard is a lot better and the killer feature, offline voice recognition works only for English properly.

Edit: it looks like there is a voice input only app they make that is separate, that is what I use. https://voiceinput.futo.org/

Did you mean "but"? Helioboard is a full-blown keyboard if I remember, and FUTO is offline voice LLM only, with multiple language support. I only speak English but it works great. It's not a keyboard that types, you just click it when you want to speak.

I find the futo keyboard works great. Swipe is the only feature that's not so great as it's fairly inaccurate

I saw a comment about that on the video I watched. Seems like the way to make it learn was to tap on the correct suggestion.

All in all seems great but is it good for privacy and safe to use

Is the licence better for this futo product? I know its not proper foss by technicality but can i realease a modified version at all?

Check for yourself: https://gitlab.futo.org/keyboard/latinime/-/blob/master/LICENSE.md

You can release modified versions as long as they're non-commercial and follow a couple of additional rules.

That was my understanding from reading it but i wanted to see if lemmy interpreted it the same way.

I see they have a multilingual version, but is it possible to set it to use only English and one other language? SwiftKey does that and it works great.
