Anyone willing to summarize those mistakes here, for those who can't watch the video rn?
Basically, his concern is that if they are not cooperating with software engineers that the product won't be able to run AAA games.
It's more of a warning than a prediction.
What are "AAA turns"?
Sorry, AAA games. I was swiping on my keyboard and didn't see the mistake.
SwiftKey?
Not OP, but consider using FUTO Keyboard. It's made by the group Louis Rossmann works with, and it has offline speech to text (no sending data to Google), swipe keyboard, and completions. It's also source-available, which isn't as good as open source, but you could examine the code and verify their claims if you wanted to.
I'm using it and, while it's not perfect, it's way better than the open source Android keyboards with swiping that I've tried.
Thanks, will try it out! I need an emoji picker though. Does it have that?
Edit: typing with it now. It had an emoji picker. 👍
All in all, I don't think I can recommend it in its current state.
But, if you type by pressing buttons, the predictions are actually pretty good. Maybe that saves a bit of time if you're very stationary and not on the move.
Yeah, it's very much alpha software, but it works surprisingly well for being in such an early state. I'm using it as my keyboard now, and it works well enough, but certainly not perfect.
Then again, I'm willing to deal with a lot of nonsense to avoid Google, so YMMV.
I hear the speech to text is pretty good. I haven't tried it (I hate dictation), but maybe you could give it a whirl before you give up on it, it's supposed to be its killer feature.
Yeah, I will admit that, too. Very good for alpha software. 👍
I'll give it a shot. I'm using Google
Giving it a whirl right now. Thanks for the recommendation.
Google in this case. I'll try the alternative mentioned
