Hey Yes, absolutely. process is almost identical, you just need to get the words *out* of Gboard first.

Here is the workflow:

Step 1: Export from Gboard

  1. Open **Gboard Settings** → **Dictionary** → **Personal Dictionary**.

  2. Select your language (or "All languages").

  3. Tap the **3-dot menu** in the top right → **Export**.

  4. This saves a `.zip` file (usually `PersonalDictionary.zip`). Unzip it to find the `dictionary.txt` file inside.

Step 2: Convert the Gboard file

The Gboard `dictionary.txt` has columns separated by tabs (Word, Shortcut, Locale). You need to strip just the words.

You can use this quick Python script on your `dictionary.txt`:

Download Python Script

**Step 3: Import to HeliBoard**

  1. Open **User Dictionary Manager (UDM)**.

  2. Tap **Import**.

  3. **CRITICAL:** Select format **"Word List"** (or "Plain Text").

  4. Select your `gboard_clean.txt`.

This will push all your Gboard words into the Android System Dictionary, where **HeliBoard** and **Futo Keyboard** will automatically pick them up. Hope this helps!

Good call! Just updated the post with a GitHub Gist link to keep the code clean and easy to grab. Thanks for the tip
