I used Unexpected Keyboard

Any tips on how to improve typing speed? (without using word suggestion and autocorrect)

I’m interested in how fast people who swipe type are.

Also, do those keyboards like Thumb Key and FlickBoard have the potential “to be faster” than the standard keyboards?

    Yah, the Florisboard comments always weird me out. There isn’t a chance in hell I’m using a keyboard without an autocorrect. Everyone must type perfectly with their thumbs except me.

      I used to on physical keyboards. I would turn autocorrect on my LG Ally off because it was in the way more than anything else.

      Onscreen keyboards exist because god is dead and satan is in charge.

      I don’t type with autocorrect. Last time I checked it was around the same speed as me using swipe, ~76 wpm.

      I’ve recently started growing my nails so that has made it slightly harder. Not sure how people type with nails.
