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?
touch type and no word suggestion and autocorrect.
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.
Yah, 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.
I 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.
I 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.
Learn typing lol
What keyboard did you use to type that comment? Looks like the autocorrect doesn’t work. Or was that unexpected keyboard?
FlorisBoard, the one that so many comments are recommending. No idea why. It doesn’t even have autocorrect yet.
You only need autocorrect if the keyboard is the wrong size, and florisboard can be adapted to your needs perfectly
That’s quite the statement. My screen is only so wide, and you haven’t seen how large my thumbs are.
Im using florisboard, im getting used to not having autocorrect but i think im doing ok so far. I believe autocorrect is in beta
Thats 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.
OpenBoard 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.
There 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.
I just tried it with my swipe keyboard and the website didn’t like it at all. It was double entering words randomly when I would otherwise type fine.
That said, I got 34 wpm and 95% accuracy, which is in line with me using a qwerty or Dvorak physical keyboard. I ain’t no Speedy Gonzalez.
I tried it with open board and had the same issue I’m never going back to non swiping but I miss swype everyday
I really wish Microsoft would release the original swype again… Pretty sure I read somewhere that they’re the current owners (due to acquisitions).
It carried on working for years and years without updates but finally died recently. I miss gestural copy and paste for sure
I used messageease for a month or so but was unable to improve :/ https://www.exideas.com/ME/index.php
50WPM, 100% accuracy with AnySoftKeyboard and no aids. This was the third try.
AnySoftKeyboard and got 54wpm 95% accuracy. Better than I thought I would get
Came here to see if there were any supporters for AnySoft Keyboard 😃
76 wpm at 85% accuracy with MS SwiftKey
67wpm 97% accuracy with chrooma keyboard and swipe. Switched to gboard and only got 54/87.
34/84% tops swipe or normal Gboard.
All swipe inputs other than Gboard have become immensely worse after the first few months of existing, and Gboard shortly after gaining the feature. Tap typing feels unaligned on every phone these days too. The suggestions for tap and the chosen word when swiping are often the most out there words nobody ever uses too.
Where do you get those stats? I use Gboard.
The typing test in op’s post
Ooops. I must’ve glanced right over that. Ty.
25 wpm 83%
I was using phones with hardware keyboards for way too long and never really learned to type on screen keyboards. Now I just hate them and use desktop communicators whenever I can.
53 touch
42 swipe
I believe my pc keyboard I get 70 wpm or something
HP office keyboard from 2010 (The cadillac of keyboards), and somewhere around 90 WPM.
HP office keyboard on your android phone?
Didn’t see which group I was in lol
I made the same mistake and was initially like “50wpm? Amateur.” Once I saw it was Android, I shut my mouth with my 20wpm on my phone.

Seems a bit bulky to carry around with you everywhere you go. Does it even have Bluetooth or do you need a USB adapter to connect it to your phone?
SwiftKey wants to capitalize every first letter for some reason, so it gave me 0 wpm due to errors
Swiftkey is very very likely spying on you ;D
70 wpm: physical keyboard on mobile (blackberry clone)
