If you use the privacy respecting Gboard alternative called FUTO keyboard, you've probably noticed that the built in swipe typing is HOT GARBAGE. (Typing this currently with two thumbs for this exact reason.)

Most keyboards improve their swipe algorithms by simply spying on you and logging your typing data. FUTO isn't about that, so they have built a simple webpage based typing game that you can use to improve their system in an ethical and voluntary manner! Just swipe the website's keyboard to type a provided sentence.

I love this, they can crowdsource the improvement without invading privacy!

Do you have the LLM fine tuning enabled? Mine is pretty good after a few months of training it.

Wait you can train the Futo keyboard? I tried it a while ago and noticed the poor accuracy and decided to shelve it for a while.

Yeah, it's been on and to answer questions below, no it doesn't affect my battery.

I'm having small problems like suggesting capitalized words in the middle of a sentence and suggesting capitalized words as a different word than the non capitalized ones. Like it'll suggest "That" in the middle of a sentence and also "that" at the same time, so two of the three slots are taken up.

Does that affect your battery much? The warning pushed me away from trying it.

No noticeable difference.

Does it eat a lot of battery for you?
