Hi,
I'm one of those fast braillests, people always wonder. I can be
as quick on my 5s, in braille, uncontracted, as some others with
direct touch on an iPad, for instance.

Subject: RE: Is anybody having any success with the Fleksy
keyboard?
Hi Krister,
I am certainly not flogging you, in fact, I think it's awesome
you are so proficient with Fleksy and I wish I could be, but it
seems to be one of those situations where you just seem to have a
particular skill/ability which allows you to use it and most
others don't. I seem to remember you once wrote you can't take
good pictures with the iPhone. I think that is something that
can be learned also and I certainly have no problems doing so and
getting great results with apps like KNFB Reader, Tap Tap See,
Talking Goggles etc. Sorry if it was a different thing you once
stated you couldn't do if your life depended on it or if I am
mixing you up with somebody else, but there just are some things
that are easier for some than for others. I typically have a
pretty good spacial awareness of the screen and all that and I
have tried everything you said and also read Alan's excellent
tutorial yet still find Fleksy is just not working for me. I
sometimes hear Podcasts where people use Braille Input and it
sounds like it works great and they are very fast with that. I
wish I could do that, but unfortunately the hand injuries I have
when I blew myself up 30 some years ago make that impossible, I
only have two fingers and the thumb on each hand so can't use
braille input since you need at least three fingers. So I'm
stuck with the regular iOS keyboard and of course dictation which
works quite well. If I travel and only take my iPhone I usually
bring a Bluetooth keyboard for situations where I may have to
reply to an email and type quite a lot of text.
Regards,
Sieghard

I shouldn't bother to give any help on this topic since the
unanymous vote of the blind community is that it is useless and
those who think differently get flogged, but here goes: The
keyboard can be resized. There are 3 different sizes of the
keyboard and you can select size from the settings. When one's
new to the keyboard i'd recommend the largest size.

Chuck,
I still find the Fleksy VO app very useful and still use it. I'm
trying to make myself use the Fleksy Keyboard more often since
like they say, practice makes perfect, or in this case, practice
does give you better results.
After you type what you need with Fleksy VO, do a 2 finger swipe
up and you'll be taken to the screen where VO will read your
input and let you copy it for pasting to the app of your choice.
You might try using the Fleksy Keyboard in minimal mode instead
of with the spacebar present. This will present the keyboard
more like the original Fleksy app. You can switch from the
spacebar keyboard by doing a 2 finger swipe down in the keyboard
area. A 2 finger swipe up while in the minimal Fleksy keyboard
will switch back to the Fleksy spacebar keyboard.
Good luck.
Alan

Hi Alan, I read your tutorial, excellent job!
However, I went back and tried Fleksy and had very poor results.
It's first prediction is wrong about 99% of the time. Second or
third prediction is usually the correct one.
I do not know if this will improve over time, I seem to remember
that it does have a learning future with in it. It is
technically faster than the iOS keyboard, but it is very
frustrating!
By the way, I went back to my old Fleksy VO app, and tried typing
with it. It got every word right! Unfortunately, many of the
options no longer work. Although messages and email still work.
But as I typed, no text was displayed.
Chuck
