Since yesterday, the really cool fork of openboard with active development and support of adding a swype library manually, got rebranded into Heliboard. A release on izzyondroidrepo and fdroid should be coming soon.

PS. If you are using the old fork you have to remove it first and do a backup of your settings.

    I initially used FlorisBoard, but I changed to OpenBoard for the automatic corrections. As far as I know, FlorisBoard can only underline errors in red, then you have to tap the word and select which option it should be. On OpenBoard, a correction is made automatically, and it’s quite accurate!

      I actually prefere the way Floris Board handles word correction. I wish for a more complete and reliable way to word suggestion with an actual build-in dictionnary with definition, synonyms, collocation, antonymes… Would actually improve my English :/.

      Auto-correction is cool and all, but IMO we shouldn’t relie to much on that.

        *Rely 🤣. It’s true, but for me it’s just much faster to have auto-correction, I usually know how words should be written, but I hit the wrong letter quite often, so that’s why this works for me.
