Openboard has been doing well for me.
Does it do voice to text?
There is now an open source voice input you can install that works with open keyboard, Which as Louis rossman says in his video is actually a lot better than gboard’s

If you are a Florisboard user, there is a version with dynamic Material You themes here. It’s really good while we wait for the new versions with this official built-in
Any FOSS keyboards with swipe-to-text? Always seems like they’re missing that
Openboard fork with swipe typing feels the closest to Gboard imho.
Thank you so much, I was using FlorisBoard but was missing the swipe!
Wow, Openboard is a huge keyboard by default with lots of vertical key spacing. It also has two of my favorite Gboard features:
- Swiping left and right on the spacebar moves the cursor left and right.
- Swiping left starting at the backspace key will highlight text, then releasing the key will delete the highlighted text. However, it doesn’t pop-up the deleted text as a suggestion to let you undo it, in case you didn’t by accident.
Wow, never knew of these gestures on gboard.
Thanks a lot for the info.
Unfortunately, I haven’t been able to find any alternative to gboard with good hand writing recognition for Japanese… So if you need that functionality I think gboard is your only choice

FlorisBoard is feature rich.
Do you know if it is still under active development? It’s been one year since the last update
On their github they state that mayor releases take time. And there is activity on the github. So I think their working on it!
No releases in awhile, but there seems to be some work going on
Im gonna give simple keyboard a week. If it works well, I might keep it.
