No matter what I do, it's like Gboard is specifically avoiding it. It'll instantly learn any bullshit word I make up like "aprifnid" but can't type "Lemmy". I suspect shenanigans.

Lines in italics were typed, lines not in italics were swiped, bold was swiped then selected from the suggested word list. It took a little bit but I managed to train it to do it.

Lemmy

first try on open board with gboard swipe type

[–] tubbadu@lemmy.kde.social 3 points 9 months ago (1 children)

Lemmy

Nope for me it works, I'm using the openboard fork with gesture typing

[–] Squizzy@lemmy.world 3 points 9 months ago (1 children)

Is that a privacy focused alternative? Where's the APK?

This is the official package that is now unmaintained, I use the fork of one of the original devs: https://github.com/Helium314/openboard

It supports adding an external swipe type library, and sadly the only working one is the gboard one, that works like a charm however

It is not on fdroid (yet), so you can install it manually or using obtainium

Worth pointing out that openboard doesn't support gesture typing. The fork I believe @tubbadu@lemmy.kde.social is talking about is:

https://github.com/erkserkserks/openboard/releases/tag/v1.4.5-gesture-typing

I use this one.

[–] bert_macklin_fbi@lemmy.world 2 points 9 months ago (1 children)

My first try yielded "Kelly" but was about to get "Lemmy" on my second try. I recommend trying to touch the space to the right of the "L".

[–] Mango@lemmy.world 1 points 9 months ago

Lemmy

Holy shit, it worked!! Took 3 tries though.

[–] meekah@lemmy.world 2 points 9 months ago* (last edited 9 months ago)

I can't really try because I've set up the lemmyface to show up whenever I type lemmy by swiping. ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)

I deleted "Kenny" and now it seems to do it fine if I double boop the M.

Swipe for lemmy works fine here, but I've tap-typed it a lot.

[–] i_am_not_a_robot@feddit.uk 0 points 9 months ago (1 children)

Works here. I can never get it to swipe type "Mastodon" though.

[–] Mango@lemmy.world 2 points 9 months ago

Mastodon

First try.

I've learned that pausing a bit on letters helps and also extending a bit further past the ones on the ends.

[–] CouncilOfFriends@slrpnk.net 0 points 9 months ago (1 children)

Just to confirm you're not crazy, I tried the standard method of adding a word by manually typing 'lemmy' and then tapping the same word on the suggestion bar, which didn't work.

Tested adding other nonsense words like treypses which worked as expected for swyping, but to get Lemmy to work I had to add Lemmy in Gboard's personal dictionary

[–] treadful@lemmy.zip 2 points 9 months ago

Worked for me after about 3 uses.
