    1. Was unaware that was even a thing.

    It’s been pretty great for single-thumb typing ever since it started being common, many years ago.

    1. My vocabulary is broader than the auto-complete’s dictionary/prediction, so what I want to say isn’t even a suggestion more than half of the time.

    Could you give me an example of this? Also which keyboard do you use as input? iOS/Android?

      I’m using whatever the stock keyboard is on Google Android. Since we’re on the topic, I’m open to suggestions. Especially if I’m going to re-train to swiping inputs.

      It’s hard to pin down anything specific as an example. If I had to sum it up, its usually where I want to use a long word with a common root for others. There could be eight or so different ways to go for auto-completion, but my choice is seldom in the top three.

        Is the stock keyboard GBoard nowadays? That’s what I use. It has swipe typing built-in. But if you want more privacy, I’d try FUTO keyboard. It’s pretty darn solid IMO, especially for a FOSS and gratis keyboard.
