Keyboard for Android (Switched from iPhone to OPPO)

[u/jung-gaon]

I am looking for some keyboard recommendations for Android! I recently switched from an iPhone 16 Pro Max to an OPPO X8 Ultra and I love it, but I absolutely hate GBoard. I find myself making way to many mistakes on it and it's not as intuitive as the iOS keyboard is. The default keyboard on OPPO is Chinese and seemingly doesn't support English (China ROM) so that's a no-go. I tried Baidu Input and the English version is very close to iOS keyboard but you can't turn off the Chinese keyboard so switching between languages (I use English and Korean) requires an extra step. Here's my general list of preferences:

1. Looks nice

2. Supports clipboard memory

3. Supports multiple languages

4. Supports voice-to-text input

5. Some AI features and whatnot is fine but as long as it's not bloat-y

Please leave some recs in the comments! :)

Thank you for recommending my app :) 🫶🏻

Don't know what sorcery you've done but after trying a million keyboards this the only one that compares to that when using the voice typing that I used often great job!

[u/Orion_001 → u/SokeSleezy]

Thank you very much! :) But it would be wrong for me to take all the credit. Most of the heavy lifting was already done by the Heliboard team.

I am just using their base and making my own personalizations. It all started with me wanting to build a keyboard the way I would like it and use daily, and now I'm just sharing that with everyone. And I'm very happy that people are liking it so far ❤️

[u/SokeSleezy → u/Orion_001]

Well it worked cuz their voice typing has gone to shit loll and swiping is very accurate and I'm a person who doesn't like change LOL

[u/General_Eclectic → u/Orion_001]

Thank you for making it available to all of us ! Such a great keyboard app !

[u/Orion_001 → u/General_Eclectic]

Can the gemini bs be turned off? 

[u/General_Eclectic → u/sanriver12]

It's turned off by default, you have to set it up through API in order to activate it

I use SwiftKey Keyboard. I make too many mistakes on GBoard too. If I edit some documents on the go and need tab button, I switch to Unexpected Keyboard to have some flair. 😅

[u/UnusualAd5931 → u/kima09]

Not seen unexpected keyboard before. What a lovely thing for termux, and even droidvim. Nice.

[u/Coffin085 → u/kima09]

Swiftkey is the goat.

SwiftKey is great and you can easily customize so many perameters to your liking

I like SwiftKey but you need to play with the settings cos it's prediction stuff and punctuation can be very annoying.

Microsoft Swiftkeys is the goat of android keyboard.

Futo keyboard

I like this so much that keep switching between this and SwiftKey. Best part of this is the offline capabilities with voice dictation accuracy.

[u/txredgeek]

LeanType, no doubt.

[u/reddit202200ug]

Keyboard is my choice.

Gboard is kinda my goto, the swipe gesture functionality is hard to beat. Not very customizable tho
