Personally I've never used HeliBoard but from the surface level digging I've done it looks pretty similar and is chasing the same goal as FUTO: a good fully offline keyboard app.

I heard about FUTO and tried it's "voice to text" function and was impressed so I've stuck with it. This function for it is also fully offline vs the default GBoard which sends that voice data to Google to store indefinitely.

Nice, I used Heliboard with Futos voice to text.

Fair enough. I tried HeliBoard because it was recommended and stuck with it. I don't use voice to text, but got swipe texting to work on HeliBoard
