You do not have to type two handed. You can just use one finger to touch where you think the letters should be, then swipe to the right to listed to what it thinks you put. It it is wrong, but close, you can flick down through a list of choices.

Hello All.

I think the App is a good solution. The only problem I have is that my hands are to large to do proper touch typing when using my IPhone4. Still need to play with it more with and without my case to see if there is a better experience.

I know what you mean. Sometimes I send messages from the messages app, other times I use Fleksy or even TypeInBraille. Just depends on what I feel like grins.

Hi,

Yes, I do know that. That's what I'm doing, but sometimes when I seem to need it most it still loads even when running for me. Of course, that may depend on the application state of Fleksy, because potentially inactive apps may sometimes quit.

Practically everyone I know is sighted, or don't have iPhones, so even though Fleksy would be useful for sighted people too as I explained in a second message, no one here is really using it. This is partly because Fleksy currently has no international dictionaries, though I know they're working on it. So, even when I text internationally and Fleksy is useful, I still have to go into a separate message since it doesn't seem to integrate with iMessage. So, I like Fleksy because even without VoiceOver I can type faster than I can on the regular keyboard because I don't have to be quite as accurate, but switch to another application to send messages to people. This isn't a particular problem, just not always worth it for me unless I'm the one texting first.

Regards,
Nicolai

Did you know that you can leave the app running and not only will it save loading time it will have no affect on the battery. Did you also know that once you have typed your text and you press and hold the screen above the keyboard you can double tap message and use the text directly in a new message? You can also reply to messages directly so long as the message was originally sent with Fleksy. Hope these all help.

Hi,

yeah, I've used it. I'm slightly impressed, but not enough to use it whenever I type. I text often, so I usually just end up sliding to reply when it comes in on the lock screen and typing away. That's more convenient than waiting for Fleksy to load more times than I think it should, especially because they told me that it only will when you reboot the phone. It doesn't though.

So, that's my biggest gripe so far. The new update does work quite well, and it's a nice solution for typing and would be great if Apple decided to implement this as an alternative input method, but I can't be bothered to wait for it to load or bring it up to type what I want then switch back to Messages. If it could integrate with threads so you could select which one to attach the text to, then I'd love it. Even when I turn VoiceOVer off and type regularly, I still can't type as fast as Fleksy allows me to type.

Nicolai
