After first being spotted in development in July of 2023, the Gboard beta is beginning to roll out an “Undo” button…

    For a second I really thought I had now finally found an alternative to Gboard but unfortunately the swiping detection is really poor and I need it to be able to use German and English at the same time. So I guess it’s still back to Gboard. :(

      The swipe feature isn’t quite done yet, they have a dataset they are building that you can contribute to in a fun way if you want.

      Soon the swipe feature will be good.

          Out of curiosity, do you like swiping the most? Futo’s voice recognition is really good actually, I don’t use it and prefer typing myself, it just seems like normal typing is the only thing I can do the most consistently and I seem to be decently quick at it.

            Yeah, I swipe probably 80-90% of the time, maybe even more. Gboard works pretty well for me. It’s just way faster than typing every letter individually. Especially long words usually have a pretty good detection rate. For example writing this text I had to correct maybe 3 words, the rest was detected correctly on the first try and it takes me 1-2 seconds per word.
