Despite these flaws it's still a much better keyboard then the iOS option... but could be so much better. When I press the space bar and hold it to activate voice dictation it rarely works the first time. I have to cancel, go back, and press and hold the space bar again for it to transcribe this means it takes twice as much effort to do one thing. EDIT JULY 2019: Dictation feature still shuts down randomly before I can begin speaking... Like almost immediately after the mic icon appears on screen. Also, if I stop speaking for more than a few seconds, it times out too fast. I don't know about you all, but I do not prepare a transcription of what I am going to say when I am using voice dictation. So having such a quick timeout is not only pointless but frustrating. Why not enable a longer time out so that, say, six seconds of silence can pass before it cancels? Finally, the random capitalization of nouns... I don't know why Google's voice dictation decides to randomly capitalize nouns. It's as if it was programmed by a German or somebody from a similar country were all nouns are capitalized. English nouns don't need to be capitalized in most cases. And while your engineers are at it, they should really use frequency of capitalization to determine whether or not a word should be capitalized.

I have been using G Board for YEARS now and I really do like it, however, I am noticing that you are still lackluster with the prominent African languages, particularly YORUBA and IGBO!! The majority of Black people here in North America are of West African descent and the languages are Yoruba and Igbo, not Swahili ( for merchant Marines)! Afrikaans and Kwa-Zulu are the same region. Please get rid of those “trade” languages!! we are RAPIDLY returning back to Ifa (Santeria in the Caribbean) where the canons, songs and prayers are spoken in Yoruba. Now for the G Board use with iPhones, unlike Androi phones, does not give the option to enlarge the keyboard to Extra Tall for those of us who have big hands and thick fingers. It’s frustrating enough trying to type as it is frustrating not to find that when you are pushing for me letter you are actually pushing the letters around it. For example, whenever I intend to type ‘Spain’ it ALWAYS appears as ‘Dpain’ and I am watching myself hit the “S”. So i suggest a wider and taller keyboard option for people with big hands and fingers. THANK YOU!

I've been using this keyboard for about 2 weeks now. I previously used the SwiftKey board and loved it, but it started glitching and I found out that it is no longer available in the app store, so I had to find another one that swipes. I can't stand the Apple keyboard. This one does a good job of swiping but it does as horrible job on common words, like it or the. When I swipe those words it will ALWAYS add an extra letter, like itt instead of it, or put in a word that doesn't go with the sentence, like three instead of the. The predictive text isn't great at predicting what should go next and it doesn't do a good job of learning my speaking style. Another thing that I get tired of is if it misspells a word or puts the wrong word in and I backspace to remove just one letter (like itt) it will delete the entire word, not just letter by letter. Also, it does not put a space after the word so if I want to insert an emoji I have to put a blank space in before I can insert the emoji. The SwiftKey board assumed that if I typed the word Happy that I would follow it with either Birthday or Anniversary, so those words would pop up as predictive text, but this keyboard doesn't do that at all. This keyboard has a lot of potential, it just needs some good updates.
