Yeah, those are yaks I'm not ready to shave. And I do mostly stick to voice messages on the go. But some people are allergic, so I do try to use voice-to-text then. I'm pretty sure the Ubuntu package for input method googlepinyin is entirely offline so I'm not too concerned. More just disappointed with how far behind opensource options are - when these things have been around for a decade+ and are described in textbook by this point
it works well enough for me on my computer, and i simply avoid phones for input - anything "phone" is factory-lobotomised and nothing else should really be expected, and even if the software were to suddenly be best effort, you'd still have to overcome very taxing interface limitations
this has the disadvantage of making you even less at home in other devices but hey, my reality is what when this happens I wouldn't have been any better off regardless
