I'm a pretty big fan of Futo Keyboard. offline voice to text, and pretty decent typing, all in all.

The only thing that I occasionally miss is not being able to insert gifs from Giphy

    Fyi the Futo Keyboard is not open source. It is source availabile with a license that includes open source aspects but it limits modification and redistribution. Aka the keyboard more or less dies when futu stops maintaining it under the current license.

    Thanks for pointing it out! I've been using it because I had the impression that it was FOSS, but I see now it's not.

    It's a pity because I thought I had finally found an open source keyboard with decent offline prediction that also allowed for multiple-languages for prediction without having to be switching between keyboard "layouts".. I don't think there's any open source keyboard that has those features 😑
