I don't see what all the fuss is about. It's a free app and anybody blind or sighted can download it. Yes it's a good app but so is tap tap see so why not add that too to the accessibility section. If you want the app, download it. If you don't, then move on. ----- Original Message ----- From: Ron Pelletier To: viphone@googlegroups.com Sent: Wednesday, February 20, 2013 3:07 PM Subject: RE: Response from Apple concerning Flecksy
Hi Sieghard, You know the old story. You may not win a lottery if you buy a ticket but, you certainly won't if you don't. All we can do is ask. Ron & Danvers From: viphone@googlegroups.com [mailto:viphone@googlegroups.com] On Behalf Of Sieghard Weitzel Sent: Wednesday, February 20, 2013 2:11 PM To: viphone@googlegroups.com Subject: RE: Response from Apple concerning Flecksy Hello, This is also the response I received and a very standard response; I have received many of them about different requests I emailed about and they are all worded in a similar way. I am not sure if it's much better than if they said "Sorry, but we don't this feature and currently have no plans to do so", at least I wouldn't hold my breath about it. I think if anything this is a bigger issue and deals with how much Apple controls the amount of access developers have in general to system wide integration. The problem is that if Apple allowed, for example, Fleksy to integrate their keyboard as a system option then other developers could and would ask for the same, Braille and Touch would want to make their keyboard available, developers would want the ability to integrate SIRI into their apps and so on. Maybe this will happen over time, but I doubt Apple would allow it if they didn't have a way to put very strict limits into place as to how far a developer can go.

Follow-up: 258384313 Hello, Thank you for your email. At this time iOS does not include the ability to enable a third-party keyboards as the default keyboard for the device. Apple appreciates your feedback and will pass this on to the appropriate people for their consideration. Apple Accessibility Hi, As a blind user of IPhone, I find that you have done wonderful things to make it accessible. There is an app called Flecksy that was created for blind people to be able to type much faster on a flat screen. It is estimated that most blind people can type about 3 times faster with Flecksy as with the regular touch keyboard. The only problem is that we have to copy and paste our text to the application of our choice making it lose some of its time saving advantage. I would like to see the Flecksy keyboard as part of the Apple keyboards built-in to the IOS that we could select and use in just any and all applications. You don't have to be blind to greatly improve typing speed with Flecksy. This would also be a great advantage to all IPhone users making the flat screen more enjoyable for all Thank you for your attention Ron Falling down is part of LIFE... Getting back up is LIVING...
