    Without suggestions/predictions and auto-correction it’s unable especially for a lazy user like me. Hopefully someone makes extensions for them.

          The stable version is perfectly fine. The beta is just the intermediate version untilsuggestions are ready.both are stable and the beta label is no problem. Development just takes some zime. It’s difficult without sponsor

    With Samsung’s AI grammar correction, I can’t put it down.

    If you’re willing to implement something like this, it would be amazing.

        I think it’s literally a Grammerly addon (but I’m not OP)

        I’d be interested in one for LanguageTool instead

        Everything from grammar to spelling and even the typing style. It’s really fast and direct, completely free. It uses AI to do all the work and works with almost every language.

      I haven’t used the Samsung keyboard in years so I don’t know what the comparison would be. I do think that for the most part, FOSS keyboards lag a couple years behind Google, Microsoft, etc. This is one that looks promising, but is still a long way off from a “complete” app.

      I guess it depends on how much you care about privacy. There are a number of private keyboards now to choose from, but if you trust Samsung (Google, MS, etc.) with your keyboard data then it may make it worth the upgrade in features

        No, I really don’t trust Samsung or Google or any other company with my data, but I can’t ignore such a great future like this. It’s that good.
