#52Re: Microsoft deleted the public support forums for SwiftKey
#53I used Swiftkey until recently, but the delay on bringing up the keyboard was annoying me too much. I couldn't justify changing phones just because of SwiftKey so instead I just went back to the default Google keyboard. I'm still adapting weeks after changing, the most annoying issue is that the Japanese keyboard on Gboard has the key layout a bit different that the English one, so I cannot touch type on it like I di…
The features that kept me on swift key is that is multilanguage, Google keyboard you have to switch to the correct language beforehand. I'm pretty worried that SwiftKey is now doing big nonos like sending my data around, but Google keyboard is absolutely unfit for my usage.
Gboard does have multi-language now. In fact, I think it's better at that, simply because SwiftKey obsessively capitalizes the word i, even if you try to delete that suggestion. That's one of the main reasons I recently switched away from it, plus the fact that if you put the cursor in the middle of a word SwiftKey moves out to the end, and the fact that SwiftKey frequently hangs for several seconds in the work profile.

#54Forgive my ignorance, but what exactly does swiftkey offer over the usual keyboard? A quick google seems to bring up "better predictive text" and "better multi-language support" - is that it?
The iOS standard keyboard does not support swiping if your language is Norwegian.
Or Polish, for that matter.

There you go. But we need to go a step further.
They need to get off altogether rather than being terminally online or addicted to social media. In regards to this, it is very sad to see of all things, many on that site are throwing a tantrum....
...over a keyboard.

Swiping is a blessing on iPhone Mini, but it's not available in my language for some reason. Multilingual input, I can just start typing in English or Czech and two words in, the keyboard knows. And even for normal tap-typing, the accuracy is a bit better because the keyboard apparently learns from your mistakes and basically builds a virtual keyboard with shifted letters underneath the visible one.
(to be clear I'm petty enough to be willing to give it all up for not having to stare at a fucking Bing button, so I uninstalled it)

It’s a keyboard. Better predictive text and better multi-language support are flagship features. It’s such a fundamental part of how you interact with your device that even a tiny incremental improvement gets amplified into a sizeable QoL improvement.

Other than multiple hour downtimes, you mean? That's not quickly for one of the most-visited websites in the world.

Also, it seems Ukraine war topics are down-ranked so people don't see as much about it anymore
