The letters should be read out by Fleksy as you type them and after you have swiped right to insert a space, the whole word is read out. I have typed this message using Fleksy with VoiceOver and it has worked perfectly! Harry On 14 Jan 2015, at 13:40, Paul Hunt prhu...@att.net wrote:

I have kept the setting for touch typing and, while I don't have feedback for each letter, unless I explore the screen for manual entry, it is sufficient for me. Like others, I will stick to Braille input options but can see how this app might still have a future. Best, Ioana Sent from

Hello Harry. Thanks for your help. It's working but it's difficult to change selections because the area is very small. Also, voiceover doesn't say the word until I swipe right. Is this normal? Thanks so much. On Jan 14, 2015, at 1:57 AM, Harry Bell ubupanora...@icloud.com wrote: Open the

Paul, With the latest Fleksy keyboard, the top two thirds of the screen when you open the app has visual settings such as themes they are trying to sell. One of these settings is size and if you select the largest of these, the keyboard will be maximized and take up a little less than half

I would not call it easily accessible but it is getting there I am using it to type this message. Download the app and add the Fleksy keyboard in the settings of the iPhone and make sure it has full access. Gestures are a bit more hit and miss but it can work. I think I will stay with braille

Hi all, While I have Fleksy on my iphone 4s, I might as well take it off not only because of the negative reviews on here but I rely soly on either the predictive keyboard, Braille Screen Input or the MBraille app. So Fleksy doesn't bother me in the slightest. This is nothing personal to the

Fleksy only seems to provide voice feedback with standard typing style on, it seems from trial and error. But listening to streaming audio or podcasts seems to disable voice feedback and I have to go into settings to turn off Allow Full Access for Fleksy then turn it on again. Tiresome. Harry

I'm not going to delete it from my phone since it has been improving, but I don't feel confident enough to use it as a third party keyboard in iOS 8 either. So I will keep it on my phone until it improves and then re-evaluate things. I still have the Fleksy VO app (no longer available), and really

Why does typing style with the Fleksy keyboard have to be standard as opposed to touch typing? Do the developers say this with their release info or have you discovered it by trial and error? Alan Lemly Sent from my iPhone On Jan 13, 2015, at 1:36 PM, Harry Bell ubupanora...@icloud.com
