Gboard is getting visibly worse almost on a daily basis, especially autocorrecting perfectly legitimate words, presumably based on dubious analysis of other people’s writing. So what’s worth trying? The ability to swipe type is a big plus

    Gboard never reached the level at which Swiftkey was at dual-language typing, at least for me. I’m Romanian native speaker and also use a lot of English. With Swiftkey I had almost no problems. With gboard I had to switch languages to make them work.

    I’m surprised at how good Heliboard became lately at exactly this scenario. I have Romanian-English set and it works great.

      I only speak 1 language so I’ll defer to your expertise in that regard.
