Actually, when I attempt to type anything with the new app, nothing is announced when I swipe right after completing the word. Does this also work differently now? I get no predictive text announced but only a boink sound that seems like an error. Swiping left to erase the text doesn't work either. It pretty much is not functioning for me.
If you're getting different results, I'd love to know what you're doing because I'm unable to get it to work at all.

You can send a message though; type your text, hit the "share" button, and choose "message". The manual referencing a function not currently present has nothing to do with accessibility, the way I see it. Again, the Fleksy VO app will not be updated, but neither will it be going away for a while, so you are fine to keep using it.

The app simply doesn't work so releasing a message with the subject line of Fleksy Now Fully Accessible is more than a little misleading. And the documentation still has the reference about accessing the menu using the two-finger swipe up. I think it's clear why they seem to be a few months ahead of when they thought the product would be ready because it's not. I truly hope they will leave Fleksy VO untouched and available until they come up with a product that meets their keyboard integration needs and does so with VoiceOver running.

Applevis has a blog detailing known bugs and updated features that you should check out. Plus, their own blog said there were some things they were still working on. No, the copy and clear and other options are not yet there, that's part of the problem in this version. The sharing and settings options are, though.

The two-finger flick up no longer works to bring up the menu. Thanks, Aris On Apr 29, 2014, at 3:13 PM, Chuck Dean <cadean...@gmail.com> wrote: I agree... This version of Fleksy doesn't play with voice over very well. It is also sluggish and the accuracy seems to have decreased. I prefer to lock Fleksy VO in landscape position so I can use my thumbs to type, but I cannot find this option in the newer update. It seems that the people at Fleksy have forgotten their original mission... To bring a accessible keyboard to the visually impaired. As of late they have changed their focus to supplying a keyboard to the masses. Too bad. I will continue to use Fleksy VO until my iPhone will no longer work with it, then I guess I'll go back to dictation. Chuck (mobile) Pleez x cuze enny tie ping or spelin air ores.

I've left the Fleksy keyboard app on my phone and have been updating it each time a new version has been released. I couldn't type with those versions with VoiceOver going and I also can't with this latest version. I'm having to type this message using Fleksy VO. When I upgraded and launched this latest Fleksy keyboard version, the text from the last thing I had written with it was on the screen and I was unable to delete it or to get to the Fleksy menu normally accessed by swiping up with two fingers. The app still appears to have bugs for those of us using VoiceOver but I'm curious if others are having the problems I am. I will be reporting them to Fleksy support.

It was only ever meant to be a stopgap measure while full accessibility was worked into the revamped Fleksy app. Right now there are few differences, but in the future, Fleksy will be updated and supported while Fleksy Vo will not be.

There are still some VO issues they are working on, but they say that, overall, VO users can use the regular app and not need Fleksy VO anymore. This is way ahead of their projected six month deadline, so good for them for getting this done so quickly. Best of all, the accessibility carries over to their SDK, so apps that incorporate Fleksy will have accessible typing as well, once they update to the latest version. Of course, apps that come onboard after today will already have the accessibility. -- Have a great day, Alex Hall meh...@icloud.com <javascript:> -- The following information is important for all members of the viphone list.
