If you use the privacy respecting Gboard alternative called FUTO keyboard, you’ve probably noticed that the built in swipe typing is HOT GARBAGE. (Typing this currently with two thumbs for this exact reason.)

Most keyboards improve their swipe algorithms by simply spying on you and logging your typing data. FUTO isn’t about that, so they have built a simple webpage based typing game that you can use to improve their system in an ethical and voluntary manner! Just swipe the website’s keyboard to type a provided sentence.

I love this, they can crowdsource the improvement without invading privacy!

    I’m on iOS, but I gave it a few minutes of swiping to help out.

      Yeah I love swiping to type so I use Gboard but I gave them 101 words to help. I’d gladly switch if they can make it this good.
