I used Unexpected Keyboard
Any tips on how to improve typing speed? (without using word suggestion and autocorrect)
I'm interested in how fast people who swipe type are.
Also, do those keyboards like Thumb Key and FlickBoard have the potential "to be faster" than the standard keyboards?

Thanks, everyone fornletting me kmkw aboit Florisbkard. Im always down to rey to nee opem source keyboard. It has perfext typing.
Edit: I honestly don't know how anyone could praise an early beta keyboard with no autocorrect and no paricularly compelling features over OpenBoard.
5 0 ReplyYah, the Florisboard comments always weird me out. There isn't a chance in hell I'm using a keyboard without an autocorrect. Everyone must type perfectly with their thumbs except me.
7 0 ReplyI used to on physical keyboards. I would turn autocorrect on my LG Ally off because it was in the way more than anything else.
Onscreen keyboards exist because god is dead and satan is in charge.
3 0 ReplyI don't type with autocorrect. Last time I checked it was around the same speed as me using swipe, ~76 wpm.
I've recently started growing my nails so that has made it slightly harder. Not sure how people type with nails.

What keyboard did you use to type that comment? Looks like the autocorrect doesn't work. Or was that unexpected keyboard?
1 0 ReplyFlorisBoard, the one that so many comments are recommending. No idea why. It doesn't even have autocorrect yet.
5 0 ReplyYou only need autocorrect if the keyboard is the wrong size, and florisboard can be adapted to your needs perfectly
1 0 ReplyThat's quite the statement. My screen is only so wide, and you haven't seen how large my thumbs are.
3 0 ReplyThats true. Maybe thumbkey is better for you? A standard keyboard is not made to use that space efficiently.
But relying on some automated often tracking process to correct what you "actually wanted to say" is very strange.
1 0 ReplyOpenBoard is FOSS and doesn't track you. You can disable the user dictionary if you consider that tracking.
I know how to proofread. The vast majority of the time it chooses the word I meant, and it's trivial to fix the mistakes. Without it, I can't get through two words without a typo, as evidenced by my original comment.
Caring that someone else requires autocorrect to be an effective communicator and calling their usage of it "very strange" is dick thing to say.
2 0 ReplyThere is no autocorrect on pen&paper or hardware keyboards. If keyboards are that bad that you need it, they are bad.
Idk, it may just be because of the touchscreen.
1 0 ReplyMy physical keyboard buttons are a liiiiittle bigger than my on-screen ones. WTF is wrong with you?
