Have a look at Microsoft SwiftKey AI keyboard. I haven't used it my self, but a few people I work with do.

That was preinstalled. I had a quick go and found the drag typing terrible, but I had another go and it's not so bad. It does combine voice and keyboard typing together, not as good as Google Keyboard on Pixel but enough to be worth a try. Good tip, thanks!

 

 

Does take a little bit to get used to the drag typing (though not too long really) but once you are used to it, you try it on everything with a screen and wonder why it doesn't work.  ;-)

 

 





 
 
 

Move to New Zealand's best fibre broadband service (affiliate link). Note that to use Quic Broadband you must be comfortable with configuring your own router.

I've been using that style of input for at least a decade, it's just that Google Keyboard is better at it 😉 It might just be a case of getting used to how the different keyboard works. I mostly use voice typing which I then edit with Swype style typing, which should be possible with Swiftkey.

The April update finally downloaded on Skinny.  Has anyone had problems with this? - some users on Reddit have reported issues with system apps making frequent location requests, affecting battery life.





I was a geek before the word was invented!
