Re: Fleksy observation.
My own suggestion, for what it's worth, would be to set up some sort of punctuation rotor comparable to the language rotor in the voiceover settings. Through a system like that, users may be able to pick their preferred punctuation marks and customize the list that appears with the single right swipe. This may well be fanciful, but it seems like a potential compromise. And I say this as someone who uses the current punctuation configuration fairly happily and finds it an immeasurable improvement over the system at work in the original version. Another humble suggestion, if I may be so bold...Is it possible to enable typical voiceover rotor settings in Fleksy? If I wanted to write a tweet that includes a pasted link, for instance, I can't currently drop the url into the message I prepare in the program - I have to use a twitter client and type the entire tweet out with the standard keyboard. A minor irritant, to be sure, but something I thought I'd raise in case it's of interest to the developers. If all of this is logistically impossible, please ignore me and carry on. :) Best, Michelle Best, Michelle On 8/24/12, Rick Alfaro rick.alf...@gmail.com wrote: Hi.

Re: Fleksy observation.
Most of what I am hearing on this thread sounds like lack of experience, rather than a flaw in the Fleksy design. I have no problem finding and inserting any punctuation or numbers from the lists on the top row. It did take me awhile to get used to this, but now I am extremely fast, much faster than the ios key board, with symbols, numbers, and punctuation. Remember, if you manually spell out a word, after you swipe right to enter it into the text, swipe up to enter it into the dictionary. Then it will be there the next time you need it. Practice,Practice, Practice .

Re: Fleksy observation.
I don't like the idea of having all punctuation in one column. Think of how many symbols that would be. You'd be spending precious time flicking down just to find what you wanted. Right now, all you have to do is remember what column your punctuation is in and flick a few times instead of many times. I think the current system is worth a little memorization. That's just my opinion.. Rose Sent from my iPhone On Aug 24, 2012, at 5:06 PM, Sean Paul newsandtraf...@aol.com wrote: Ok, I'd agree that the rooter idea sounds like a good one.

RE: Fleksy observation.
Hi Sandy. Not sure what you mean by toggling the input method. As it is now, you already have the Fleksy method of typing along with using the more traditional method of tapping and holding on a character. Tapping and holding of course is a lot slower but you do get exactly what you want or at least that has been my experience. One thing I have noticed which may be something specific to my device is that I have to make the initial tap for tap and hold quite a bit harder than I do to use the Fleksy method. Perhaps you are having this issue as well?

Hello to all, Having just tried the latest update of Fleksy, I think I would like to see a slight adjustment to the present system of input. I wonder if it would be possible to toggle Fleksy with the more traditional method for those times when one wants to put in, say, an email address? I am finding it very frustrating with the present method. I find I keep cancelling a lot of what I have written. Plus, there seems to be a problem getting some words to be recognized. Just now I had to use the word cancelling instead of deleting! Aah! You have no idea just how long it took me to get that to take! So are other people having the same issue as me? Would such a toggle be of use? And would it be possible? Thanks, Sandy. Sent from my iPhone -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the VIPhone Google Group.

Re: Fleksy observation.
1st out. I'd like to thank you for fleksy. perhaps on the list is not the place for this discussion. Or? Perhaps it is as I'd like to see what others think of my idea. One thing I'd like to see the fleksy team implement in the next version is the ability to access all of the punctuation from the one swiping down column. Meaning that when you flick right are on the period, you'd just swipe your finger down all of the punctuation symbols would be in that column. I have found the finding other punctuation symbols most difficult in getting to. As I use the dash, underscore, number sign, etc quite a bit. This would certainly be much easier for me in getting to them. I'd like others thoughts on this? - Original Message - From: Syntellia Inc To: viphone@googlegroups.com Cc: sandratomk...@googlemail.com Sent: Friday, August 24, 2012 11:55 Subject: Re: Fleksy observation.

Re: Fleksy observation.
If you had the punctuation all in one list, and you have to swipe down to get to a symbol like the dash, wouldn't it make that one list a lot longer? It seems simpler to me to look on the row above the letters for certain punctuation, but I also don't use Fleksy to write these more advanced symbols a lot either. In any case, the current method seems to make the most sense to me. Perhaps some of these finer points could be made as options for certain users? But then the question of where do you stop comes up. Another option would be to put all the punctuation marks in one list like you suggest, but have the user swipe up to get to the lesser used ones like the dash.

RE: Fleksy observation.
Hi, You'd have to prioritize the punctuation according to most common usage, and as you said, it'd be a mighty long list considering that the more symbols option in the IOS keyboard brings up a whole screenful of symbols. I think there is just way too much punctuation to fit in a single column as has been suggested here.

RE: Fleksy observation.
Hi. Personally, I would not like to see this changed to having all punctuations being available only on one Colum. I find the current setup to be very intuitive and quicker once you get used to it.
