    The swipe functionality could definitely improve, and having Open Source swipe information would be a huge win for all people that swipe to input words. :)

    Just went and swiped 1002 words, will go back and type some more tomorrow. Thanks for your work on this project!

      @jmr 4 месяца назад +2

      After 2 days I'm over 1000 now. Great job! I didn't manage to make it in a single session like you. More tomorrow!

    thank god! i will definitely be participating. i've been a swipe user for about 10 years and once i switched over the the FUTO keyboard, it was honestly horrendous. i have been relying on the voice to text, which is incredibly accurate enough for me to use it the majority of the time. but when im in situations where voice to text isn't an option, swiping is my go-to default and boy is it bad

      @Tsuchimursu 4 месяца назад +1

      It's usable when I slow down to 30% speed... Except some words it just refuses to understand even when I stubbornly give more times before tap typing

    I don't like swipe _at all,_ but my brother does use it.
    Sent him a link. Bless you all at FUTO. You're doing God's work.

    I have to say, the swipe training site makes a great fidget toy during boring meetings. Happy to help this project anyway I can!

  • @blend3rman796
    @blend3rman796 4 месяца назад +8

    Tried it out, got to a 100 words in a couple minutes, will definitely be swiping more!
    One suggestion would be to add a confirmation to exit swiping for people on gesture navigation. Causes a few save errors because I swiped too far from the right.
    Another suggestion is to let the user manually navigate to the next phrase, because sometimes I make a mistake on the last word and would like an opportunity to reverse it.

    • @JoeBloggs-ws8hm
      @JoeBloggs-ws8hm 3 месяца назад

      regarding your last point, if you move on to the next phrase you simply press `Del` and it will return to the final word in the previous phrase for you to swipe it again.

    • @jmr
      @jmr 3 месяца назад

      I have that same gesture error. It's almost always P words that cause a problem.

  • @das_robin

    It would be cool if as an additional incentive, I could sign up to receive some kind of "fun stuff we learned about how people swipe" report once the dataset is big enough to be worked with!

  • @egarcia1360
    @egarcia1360 4 месяца назад +9

    Love this approach. That said, given the source-first nature of the app, I wouldn't even mind sending *opt-in, anonymized* swipe data as I could still be confident that the content of my messages isn't going to some shady server for advertising and spam purposes. It'd be a lot more of that juicy training data for y'all (while still respecting user privacy) and save time for us since we can use what we'd be typing anyway rather than having to set aside time to help train the model.

    • @Spolt_main
      @Spolt_main 4 месяца назад +1

      Personally, I'm only OK with FUTO doing this. Any other company I wouldn't trust. Although individual word swipes would be ideal so that there is no connections to any other words.

  • @AdamKirbyMusic
    @AdamKirbyMusic 4 месяца назад +14

    I'm really glad you're addressing this. I've paid for the FUTO keyboard and I'm happy to support the project but the swiping, which I would greatly prefer to use most of the time, is abysmal. On par with OpenBoard in how bad it sucks, which makes sense now because I didn't know the swiping data was siloed by the corps.

    • @jmr

  • @KoKoKen

    always thought "contribute to your model, not theirs" kind of missed the mark. opt-in contribution to an open dataset is perfectly acceptable.

  • @MichalKottman
    @MichalKottman 4 месяца назад +2

    FYI: the last word cannot be corrected with the "Del" button as it instantly moves on to the next sentence. Consider treating the trainig data for the last word with less weight

  • @wojownikwody1804
    @wojownikwody1804 4 месяца назад +2

    I know it may not be a priority right now, but building datasets for other languages would be also a good idea at this point? I already provided data for a lot of English words, but it would be nice to choose my native language and have hope for the future. Due to my IT related work I mostly use English on my devices anyway, but it would be nice to talk to my family as well. :)

  • @MrPotatoShed
    @MrPotatoShed 4 месяца назад +7

    Glad to see this. I am finding the swipe type feature a lot harder to work with on Futo kb (sticking with it, though!) One problem on the swipe dataset collector is that it is treating hyphenated words as single words (i.e., treating "hyper-flexible", "Spider-man", etc. as one fluid swipe for both words, so you have to swipe "HYPERFLEXIBLE" all together). This is not how my brain works when I use a swipe-typing keyboard. I usually swipe the first word, add the hyphen, then swipe the second word (i.e., I swipe "hyper", add "-" and then swipe "flexible"). I assume I'm not alone with this? I'm a bit worried this will cause some problems with the model training.

    Additional question: Could you please consider adding the Phonetic arrangement for the Bulgarian layout? No people I know can properly use the current one in my country - everyone uses phonetic. I can try some swiping, but english only for now. Thanks for your hard work! You're the best! :)

  • @djjudd566
    @djjudd566 4 месяца назад +2

    I just tried the swipe training and I have 1 bit of feedback. As a primary swipe-typer, I usually scale my keyboard down in the vertical axis so that it's easier to swipe between the letters. (because they're closer together) I don't know if it's possible, but adding scaling to swipe.futo would be handy. I don't know if that data is interoperable with the rest if you start adding different scaled keyboards to the mix.

    Possible couple of improvements:
    - more languages

    - fix accidental back button activation? (I don't think this is possible to fix in browser)
    - remember swiped words count in browser?

  • @Bittorn
    @Bittorn 4 месяца назад

    This is a great initiative. When I was typing, however, there were multiple issues where when I went to swipe something beginning with a P or an L, my phone triggered the back action for the webpage and ended up throwing off the swipe action. Additionally, I feel like the website's keyboard itself isn't as nice to use as the regular FUTO keyboard (duh). I would love to see this exact same concept but bundled as some sort of app where I can use my phone's native FUTO keyboard as the swipe measurer. Not sure how well that would work with the current implementation of the system keyboard though, or if it would even be possible without running into security/privacy issues. Still, loving the work you guys are putting in! Definitely gonna start swiping as soon as I'm done writing this.

  • @moussaadem7933

    from futo's latest release:
    Nearly a million words were swiped in total, corresponding to 63,415 unique words. The average session swiped around a hundred words.
    There are no improvements to swipe yet in this release, but it will be the focus for the next major release.

  • @tejasshah6505
    @tejasshah6505 4 месяца назад

    I tried using the FUTO keyboard and had to go back to Google keyboard because of better Swipe functionality there.
    Definitely putting in my 2 cents by swiping away for FUTO. Will be extremely happy to come to back to FUTO if swiping gets better.

    I'd love an opt-in toggle in the keyboard itself. Make it easily accessible from the quick toolbar with a disclaimer each time you toggle it on and turn it off automatically after a few hours or a day.

  • @Kathlanus
    @Kathlanus 3 месяца назад

    Hey, I just checked out the website and will be happy to help out. But I did notice -as expected - it's english sentences that are presented to the user. I assume the swiping patterns and details in recognition would be different in different languages. So I think you guys should add a language selector so we can also provide datasets for german, french, spanish, everything else. And don't forget the different keyboard layouts. Would love to switch to the FUTO keyboard eventually, but as a german who get's annoyed when gboard doesn't recognize my swiping it's unfortunately not feasable yet. But I hope I can help change that for german as well.

  • @acdimalev8405
    @acdimalev8405 4 месяца назад

    Huh... so the text sometimes is large enough that it flows under the keyboard. Clicking "skip" is pretty hard in this case because the feedback is changing which word is highlit... which I can't see.
    Also having some trouble with swiping near the edge of the screen resulting in the browser treating the input as a gesture. Can probably resolve this one entirely on my end, but mildly concerned that this may have some weird / unintended consequences in the resulting dataset.
    Very cool project.

I also missing another languages. I also wonder if FUTO team know that people misspell words (especially languages like English) when they swipe normally , so it would be nice if there was a version when you can listen to word and then swipe it
