I've been playing with both the Thumb and the Unexpected keyboards. I like 'em both but, man, I have to admit I'd like them more if they had that top bar that predicts what you might be. Is that just a no-go from a privacy perspective? Can that functionality be local?

(I also wouldn't mind a good voice typing feature)

Yes. Very possible. An LLM could possibly be run locally or just sandboxed for only you. In my experience, I guess because there is less training data and fewer iterations, it tends to take longer and result in poorer outputs.

Microsoft could also let you control this but of course they do not want to.

I switched to Openboard. After a few months, Its not as good yet as SwiftKey was, but it's also not sending all my text input to Microsoft.

The primary feature I miss from Swiftkey is the ability to insert a gif easily.

Do any of the open source keyboards have gif integration? I've tried floris and anysoft and I miss it so much.

I have yet to find one. I keep Swiftkey installed and switch inputs when I need to insert a gif.
