Just touch the letter you want to capitalize until you hear it.  Raise your
finger and then swipe up.

Is the only way to capitalize a word to tap and hold on the letter so
you can swipe down to get the capital version of that letter or is
there another gesture to capitalize?

Re: fleksy - typing tips

2012-08-13 Thread James Mannion
I just started using fleksy and I am quite impressed with it. I was
waiting for them to make it so you didn't have to keep turning
voiceover off and on and pressing the home button at least 6 times or
maybe a lot more per use of fleksy. I was waiting for that improvement
especially after I knew it was coming. What a cool app!

fleksy - typing tips

2012-08-12 Thread Chris Moore

Hello,
've recently downloaded the trial version and am experimenting with 
various approaches for typing.  I type with a single finger when not in 
fleksy, but there is probably a more efficient technique when using fleksy.
Two thumbs are a possibility, but you would lose time when reversing 
your hand to flick with the index finger.


Any ideas welcome.

Chris

Hi,
If I have the phone in portrait position, then one index finger is fine.
If I have it in landscape, then I tend to use both index fingers, but one
works fine as well since you don't have to be all that accurate.

RE: fleksy - typing tips

2012-08-12 Thread Rick Alfaro
I personally am not comfortable with using my thumbs at all.  What works
very well for me is holding the phone with my left hand, and using my index,
middle, and ring fingers of my right hand to type.  I use my index finger
for letters on the left side of the KB, my middle finger for the middle
region, and my ring finger for the right region of the KB.  This is how I
personally get the best speed.

Sounds painful.. 

Well, I guess Fleksy is not perfect, especially while typing and watching TV...

Re: fleksy - typing tips

2012-08-12 Thread Michelle McQuigge
I'm a staunch member of the thumb typing camp, whether in Fleksy or anywhere 
else. Like chuck, I hold my phone in portrait position and support it by 
resting its back against my fingers. I use my thumbs both to tap letters and to 
deal with swiping gestures in all directions. It works like a charm for me. I 
know typing this way also lay behind one friend's conversion to Fleksy. He 
couldn't manage to type properly with it using his old hunt p-and -peck 
routine, but was off to the races as soon as he gave thumb typing a whirl. I 
suspect he wouldn't be as down with the thong version, though. :)r
