  • FlorisBoard

    An open-source keyboard for Android which respects your privacy. Currently in early-beta.

  • Florisboard & AnySoftKeyboard are great. Both have glide typing as well, but still in beta. Florisboard's glide typing works better than AnySoft's imo.

  • AnySoftKeyboard

    Android (f/w 2.1+) on screen keyboard for multiple languages.

  • wvkbd

    On-screen keyboard for wlroots

  • There's this which is fairly new: https://sr.ht/~earboxer/swipeKeyboard/ (works with https://github.com/jjsullivan5196/wvkbd) and it's not great yet, but I've got it to work better after some edits to my word list. I've been using it on pinephone and pinetab.

  • cellwriter

    CellWriter is a grid-entry natural handwriting input panel. As you write characters into the cells, your writing is instantly recognized at the character level. When you press Enter on the panel, the input you entered is sent to the currently focused application as if typed on the keyboard.

  • There is cellwriter, but it's abandoned and it didn't work for me. It crashed while I tried to teach it my handwriting and it corrupted its save files in the process.

NOTE: The number of mentions on this list indicates mentions on common posts plus user suggested alternatives. Hence, a higher number means a more popular project.
