HeliBoard with Swipe + FUTO have made replacing gboard possible for me. I feel like it's been a 90% replacement, a far greater degree than some of the decent keyboards currently available. I regularly use but swipe and speech to text in two languages. I'm really really happy and grateful for these tools. ๐
Just in case I'm asked, here's the basics steps to get it going:
That's it.
Just setup the two apps with your specifics like the theme and etc. This is what mine looks like now:
How do you get your microphone option in the top right corner like that. Mine only shows up under the toolbar menu, after hitting the arrow key (top left corner)
You can tap and hold on the microphone button to pin it to the right.
This is a hot tip!
Exactly this. You can pin several functions this way.
Thanks! ๐
Wow, that's a gamechanger! HeliBoard has so many neat little tricks like that, but sometimes they're hard to find.
Here's another one then: in heliboard settings, go to about, and hit "Description of hidden features." It's where I found that, plus a few more neat tricks!
This was very helpful, thank you.
Edit: is the FUTO app restricted in any way until I purchase premium?
Not that I'm aware of.
Just FYI, it is on IzzyOnDroid!
