Thanks, I'll check that out.

I've been using Swiftkey since before Microsoft bought it, and really enjoying it.

I know I shouldn't be surprised but I feel really betrayed that they use it to track app usage and link it to IMEI and the Google advertising id.

I was also a long-time fan of Swiftkey, and switched to OpenBoard a few months ago. The main differences are lack of swipe input which I miss dearly, and slightly less intuitive correction. I think since switching I've put a little more effort into being more accurate which has helped.

FlorisBoard is another open source keyboard project that has experimental support for gesture/swipe typing. It requires a bit more accuracy than spyware keyboards but might be worth a try.
