I'm just curious. When you say Swiftkey is more accurate are you referring to auto correct or your typing accuracy is better using Swiftkey? I have been a long time Swiftkey user, but I've been using Gboard on the Note 8 and it's been very good for me. Honestly, I am not which one I prefer at this point.
So, Swiftkey's prediction is what makes it the best. When they had their separate Neural keyboard and it was amazing. It was only short on the other features typical to Swiftkey. Once they integrated it into the main app, it made it even better. I use the Beta version and I can often type full sentences with hitting less than ten letters. That is how good the prediction. The autocorrect is great as well. I really want to like GBoard. Every couple of months, I go back to it. However, the predictions simply cannot compare to Swiftkey. The neural engine makes sense of what you're typing and often gets the next word right without typing the first letter. It looks at more than just the last word, which it seems like GBoard still does. The neural engine looks at your previous words to predict what you are going to type. That is the difference. When the next word doesn't pop-up, after hitting the first or second letter of the next word, it's a guarantee that your word will pop up. It's just that good.
On top of that, the clipboard works great. I have also created shortcuts for phrases that I want to enter quickly. As an example, when I type CFA, the whole word 'Chick-Fil-A' pops up just like that. It saves me from having to type the dashes and caps. LOL. Don't worry - I know it is a bit OCD and that I can just type it without dashes. It's just me. LOL.
The settings are quite comprehensive and it can be tailored to your liking. I do wish it was easier to switch to one-handed mode, like it is in GBoard. However, the layout options allows for customization to anyone's liking.
