Ratings and reviews

pros - awesome design layout. generally responsive and light weight. I love the long press for symbols and the ease of emoji access. intuitive GUI and good talk to text. cons - awful text correction. it will change words randomly after you've completed a sentence and you won't even know it happened. the changes will also make no grammatical sense. "backspace to reverse" rarely works. I'm assuming they're using Gemini to do this now and it's just not that good yet

this is a near perfect keyboard that's leagues better than samsung's default. however, I wish the flick feature worked like samsung's which allows you to reposition the cursor in any direction within text, rather than being locked to a line of text. the ability to make a true custom theme would be great, like being able to change the hex#/opacity of the black toolbar and certain keyboard buttons as well as remove backgrounds for the ?123/ABC, space, and enter buttons for a cleaner look.

I speak clearly and don't have a stutter, an accent, fast speech, and I clearly articulate my words. yet, using this app causes me to use up twice of the amount of time because I have to proofread everything, no matter the length. because if I don't, there are countless inaccuracies and words that don't even remotely sound similar to what I've said being printed. every year Google has progressively gotten worse and worse when it comes to voice to text dictation.
