I'm testing this #FlorisBoard as a replacement for Gboard on my phone. And what's awesome is - it does work with #FUTO Voice Input. So I can have voice typing without requiring any online services. And without having to click through menus each time I want to use it. Awesome!
You can find both of these open source apps in the F-droid app library.
It's hard to describe the hype around some open source projects. Often it's the same kind of tool that everyone is used to but you know, this one is open source.
At best it's a free tool vs a paid tool but when it comes to things like web browsers it's hard for a lot of normal people to understand why it's better.
Anyways, i'm using #FlorisBoard and #SayBoard, open source keyboard and speech to text for android right now and they're both pretty rad.
I am used to switching between text keyboard and #emoji keyboard in #signalapp and use that a lot. The emoji button in Tusky only offers some images I think. Custom #GIFs I guess.
Currently, the developer of this wonderful #opensource#keyboard app has no time developing it. This is why I want to highlight, we need to support him with donations to help him get more time to work on the app and bring updates whenever we need it. #foss#floss#fdroid#florisboard
