RE: Fleksy VO Coming Back as FlickType

[Sieghard Weitzel]

You have to try it, interestingly enough I never did get to be really good with 
Fleksy even before they went mainstream and changed it all around. Maybe 
Flicktype will be even better then Fleksy ever was, I will definitely give it a 
try when it is available, but I didn’t need it desparately enough to sign up 
for the Beta.

Hi Alan, Jeffrey, Sieghard & Others,

Thank you very much for your replies!  This does indeed sound like a good app 
to have.  I can't stand typing on my phone, so I don't unless I have my 
bluetooth keyboard, but that looks like that'll change!  Thanks again.
Take care.  Mike.  Go Dodgers!

Mike,

No, the FlickType keyboard has no shift keys which makes it easier to type with 
since you only have to be concerned with the location of the letter keys. If 
you are manually typing a word such as a proper name which you wish to 
capitalize, you type the first letter which will be lower case and then do a 
single finger swipe up which will capitalize it. FlickType automatically 
capitalizes the first word in a new sentence so you don't have to worry about 
that.

Hello,
I'm posting this to both viphone and iDevices.
Those of you who ever experienced the original Fleksy app later renamed Fleksy 
VO will be excited to learn that the app is coming back renamed FlickType. 
Those who don't know what I'm talking about should sign up as beta testers of 
FlickType and give it a go and submit your feedback. You can visit its website 
at www.flicktype.com<http://www.flicktype.com> where there is a link to submit 
an email to sign up as a beta tester.
The original Fleksy which was released about 2012 came out when Apple did not 
allow third party keyboards. It was a separate app that presented a keyboard at 
about a third of the bottom of your iPhone screen in portrait mode. The keys 
were oversized in a high contrast presentation for those with any vision and 
there was no spacebar. Any content produced with Fleksy had to be copied and 
pasted into whatever app you wanted to send the text in such as your Mail or 
Messages app. FlickType continues in the same vein since it uses the original 
Fleksy source code which went into the public domain after Pinterest acquired 
the Fleksy Keyboard and the original Fleksy VO was no longer supported.
What is great about FlickType is its predictive engine. You simply start typing 
where you think the keys you want are located and do a single finger swipe 
right when you're done. FlickType will announce the word it thinks you wanted 
and more times than not will get it right. If it's not right, simply do a 
single finger swipe down to cycle through its other choices. These choices are 
all presented audibly and when you hear the correct one, you just start typing 
the next word. You don't need to insert any spaces since FlickType does that 
automatically. When you type the last word in the sentence and FlickType has 
announced it, simply single finger swipe once again and FlickType will place a 
period at the sentence end. You simply start typing the next word and FlickType 
will automatically capitalize it. Only letter keys are presented on the main

Hi Alan,
 
After doing some readingabout this app I have 1 question.  Does this keyboard 
have a shift key for capitalizing letters?  I didn't catch anything about this. 
 Thanks much.
Take care.  Mike.  Go Dodgers!

Hello,
 
I'm posting this to both viphone and iDevices.
 
Those of you who ever experienced the original Fleksy app later renamed Fleksy 
VO will be excited to learn that the app is coming back renamed FlickType. 
Those who don't know what I'm talking about should sign up as beta testers of 
FlickType and give it a go and submit your feedback. You can visit its website 
atwww.flicktype.com <http://www.flicktype.com/> where there is a link to submit 
an email to sign up as a beta tester.
 
The original Fleksy which was released about 2012 came out when Apple did not 
allow third party keyboards. It was a separate app that presented a keyboard at 
about a third of the bottom of your iPhone screen in portrait mode. The keys 
were oversized in a high contrast presentation for those with any vision and 
there was no spacebar. Any content produced with Fleksy had to be copied and 
pasted into whatever app you wanted to send the text in such as your Mail or 
Messages app. FlickType continues in the same vein since it uses the original 
Fleksy source code which went into the public domain after Pinterest acquired 
the Fleksy Keyboard and the original Fleksy VO was no longer supported.
 
What is great about FlickType is its predictive engine. You simply start typing 
where you think the keys you want are located and do a single finger swipe 
right when you're done. FlickType will announce the word it thinks you wanted 
and more times than not will get it right. If it's not right, simply do a 
single finger swipe down to cycle through its other choices. These choices are 
all presented audibly and when you hear the correct one, you just start typing 
the next word. You don't need to insert any spaces since FlickType does that 
automatically. When you type the last word in the sentence and FlickType has 
announced it, simply single finger swipe once again and FlickType will place a 
period at the sentence end. You simply start typing the next word and FlickType 
will automatically capitalize it. Only letter keys are presented on the main 
FlickType keyboard which makes it very easy to rapidly type your text with only 
a single finger. To access other keys such as numbers or symbols, you do a 2 
finger swipe right or left to cycle through these. To capitalize a letter such 
as a proper name, single finger swipe down after you've entered the letter and 
it will be capitalized. Any words or names you enter manually can be added to 
your custom dictionary by doing a single finger swipe up after FlickType 
announces the word. Developing a complete dictionary is highly recommended 
since that is what feeds FlickType's predictive engine. When your typing is 
done, do a 2 finger swipe up to access the FlickType menu where your text is 
reviewed for you and you can access the menu choices to copy it for pasting in 
the app where you want it to go. It is very easy to learn and I strongly 
recommend those unfamiliar with it to try it since sometimes there is just no 
substitute for typing even though dictation is very handy.
 
The FlickType developer who is the original Fleksy developer as I understand it 
has said they hope to have a FlickType iOS keyboard at some point. Personally, 
I'm not too fussed about whether they ever do this since my experience with 
Fleksy was that it became much less usable and efficient in my opinion once it 
became an iOS keyboard. I find that even with the FlickType separate app and 
having to copy and paste its output as was the case with Fleksy VO that I can 
still output text much more quickly than with either the standard iOS keyboard 
or with the Fleksy keyboard.

For those interested in signing up as beta testers of FlickType, go to the

device which is required to beta test iOS apps but I think you'll find the 
effort well worth it. You'll be given access to the FlickType app where you 
can start learning and using it.

Thanks so much for posting this. This is exciting and I urge anyone

dictation or a USB keyboard, to sign up as a beta tester of 
FlickType and start using it. Go to www.flicktype.com 
 and click on the link there to send an

the original Fleksy app which was later renamed Fleksy VO.

For those that use to use the Fleksy keyboard, I wanted to let 
everybody know that the developers have just designed a brand new 
app called FlickType.  It is currently in beta, so it is not yet in 
the app store, but will hopefully be released anytime.
Jeff Thompson from Blind Abilities did an interview of the 
developers that you can find at the below link:

Yes, it’s brilliant! I’m really looking forward to this keyboard being used

Re: Fleksy is coming back

[Chris Chaffin]

I will just add that when the FlickType app is first released, it will be a 
stand alone app, but the developers have said that with time, it will become a 
ios keyboard that can be used anywhere.
They also mentioned that they plan on the app always being free.

I am really excited and encouraged by the interviews that I have heard.

RE: Fleksy is coming back

[Alan Lemly]

Chris,

Thanks so much for posting this. This is exciting and I urge anyone who wants 
to type using an on screen keyboard instead of relying on dictation or a USB 
keyboard, to sign up as a beta tester of FlickType and start using it. Go to 
www.flicktype.com and click on the link there to send an email to sign up as a 
beta tester. This is pretty much the same as the original Fleksy app which was 
later renamed Fleksy VO.

RE: Fleksy

[Alan Lemly]

Harry,

 

I use the Fleksy keyboard for most of my input and I also find that it will 
become unresponsive from time to time. I've found that turning Voiceover off by 
pressing the home button 3 times quickly and then turning it back on the same 
way usually brings Fleksy back to life.

I used to be a real Fleksy fan. But on iPhone 7 plus iOS 10.2, the Fleksy 
keyboard often freezes, flashes at me and becomes completely unresponsive. The 
only solution I have found is to uninstall Fleksy. I have reported the problem 
but have had no response. It is important not to rely too much on third party 
apps that may be discontinued and then let you down... Harry

I am trying to add some contacts to the favorites in the flecksy V O app, but,

Thanks for any input.

RE: Fleksy

[Alan Lemly]

Michael,

 

Fleksy was acquired by Pinterest as announced in a June 15, 2016 press release 
found at this link:

 

http://fleksy.com/fleksy-acquired-by-pinterest/

 

I'll paste the text of that press release following my signature.

 

>From other reading I did via Google, I gathered that Pinterest acquired the 
>staff of Fleksy for use in its business and not to further develop the Fleksy 
>keyboard app. They plan to make the app open-source.

 

Alan Lemly

 

 

Hi Fleksy Friends,

 

Today we’re announcing some big news at Fleksy. Our team is joining Pinterest!  
As some of you may know, it’s a bit of nostalgic timing as this month marks 
four years since Fleksy first launched in the iOS store as a standalone app for 
our wonderful community of blind users – at a time when 3rd party keyboards 
were not yet supported on the platform.

 

Over the years it has been our great pleasure to bring you the fastest and most 
reliable typing experience. Building a keyboard, especially a good keyboard, is 
not an easy task. In fact, it’s really hard. Without all of your support and 
feedback it wouldn’t have been possible. From the bottom of our hearts we thank 
you.

 

Fleksy will remain available in the app stores for the foreseeable future, so 
no need to worry about being forced to re-learn to type on a alternative 
keyboard ??

 

As a tribute to our incredible community of users we have made the decision to 
open-source some of the Fleksy components that the blind and visually impaired 
community grew to love. We trust you’ll do great things with it.

 

We’ll update you here and send out a tweet when the open-sourced project is 
ready for your contributions.

 

Meanwhile, if you have any questions please feel free to reach out to 
ash...@fleksy.com.

 

Wishing you all the best,

 

Ashley & Kosta

And that's why I use Braille Screen Input primarily on iPad but also use it on 
iPhone and iPod as well instead of mBraille which could be discontinued at any

Re: Fleksy

[candyrlowe]

Michael, what is the difference between flecksy and flecksy V O?  I seem to 
remember downloading Flecksy at one time, but, not really learning how to use 
it.
I am always looking for better and faster ways to text and type on the iPhone.  
I use m braille, I use dictate, but, as you say, sometimes you don't want 
people to hear what you are saying or it is too noisy.  I use a bluetooth 
keyboard when I am at home, but, that is certainly always feasible.  Any 
information on the regular flecksy app will be appreciated.
I am trying to add some contacts to the favorites in the flecksy V O app, but, 
can't seem to get that to work.  Have you used that with any luck?
Thanks for any input.

Candy

Re: Fleksy

[Michael Maslo]

 
 
Hello, I have both Fleksy downloaded installed and using them. I like Fleksy 
vo. I am right now typing with the regular Fleksy and it is all right. I looked 
in the app store and it showed it had not been updated since April of this 
year. I wonder why or what happened that it is not being developed. There are 
not many keyboards for us who are blind who want to type fast. Sometimes 
dictation is not feasible or practical. Especially depending on content of what 
is being said.  
   
 
 

 
 
   This 
(https://itunes.apple.com/app/apple-store/id922793622?pt=814382=8=how_i_email)
  is how I Email now

Re: Fleksy

[candyrlowe]

Michael,
I have the old Flecksy V O app, but, I know it is not in the app store any 
more.  This makes me think that it is probably not being developed any more.  I 
never had much luck with the regular flecksy app, but, I do sometimes use the 
Flecksy V O app.

RE: Fleksy keyboard being used was Re: Gboard

[Alan Lemly]

No, the default Fleksy keyboard does not have the number row on top. It does 
have the ability to add the number row by installing that extension. You can 
easily access the emoticon keyboard from the Fleksy keyboard provided you've 
installed it in settings.

Richard and others,

I downloaded Gboard to my iPhone 7 running the latest iOS 10.2 and found no
way to customize it to add a number row. I believe you're right that the
number row feature only exists in the Android version. I had no luck when
Googling Gboard iOS and number row. All the hits I found talked about that
feature on the Android version.

I couldn't find any great features that Gboard offered so I removed it. I
never figured out how to use its glide typing feature or either it doesn't
work with Voiceover. I couldn't tell how you were supposed to select the key
you glided to in order to enter it that was any different than how it works
with the iOS standard keyboard. I find the Fleksy keyboard much faster for
input but then I've been using it for quite a while.

For many, many years, now, I and others have been lobbying for a number

Re: Fleksy goHi list. I saw a post from someone else who found their version of Fleksy vO just like me. I was wondering if since it is not in the app store anymore is there a way to share the program.

Re: Fleksy goHi list. I saw a post from someone else who found their version of Fleksy vO just like me. I was wondering if since it is not in the app store anymore is there a way to share the program.

[Woody Anna Dresner]

Hi,

If you haven't ever had Fleksy VO, I don't think there's any way you can get it 
if it's no longer in the app store. I'm pretty sure there's no way for someone 
who has an app to share that app with someone else in the sense of sending them 
the app and them being able to use it on their device. sharing means sending a 
link, but I doubt that  link will work if the app is no longer in the store.

I'd love to be proven wrong about this.

Best,
Anna

RE: Fleksy goHi list. I saw a post from someone else who found their version of Fleksy vO just like me. I was wondering if since it is not in the app store anymore is there a way to share the program.

[Sieghard Weitzel]

If you previously purchased Fleksy VO then all you have to do is go to the 
"Updates" tab in the App Store app, double tap on the "Purchased" button at the 
top and then either go through your list or do a search for "Fleksy" and you 
will find it. I have all sorts of apps there which are no longer available if 
you search the App Store, but they are available for me to redownload.

Not sure if you know, but you wrote the message in the subject.
Regarding Fleksy VO, if it is not in the App Store, you would not be able to 
share it from there. If however you still have it on your device, you could go 
into the Fleksy VO app, and swipe down to the share item, or go to it's 
settings and find share there. I haven't used it in awhile so can't say exactly 
where share would be. I haven't deleted it from my phone though since it really 
is useful every so often. With Braille Screen Input being my main method of 
text entry, I haven't needed Fleksy VO.

Regarding Fleksy VO, if it is not in the App Store, you would not be
able to share it from there. If however you still have it on your

RE: Fleksy

Go to settings, general, accessibility, VoiceOver, then rotor. Now select 
Braille screen input. Now you can switch the rotor to Braille whenever you need 
to type in an edit field. Hope this helps.  Jenn

Hi all,

I see a *lot* of complaints and problems with Fleksy (other lists, other people 
who talk with me).
I wasn't going to buy fleksy due to these, but some portible bluetooth 
keyboard.  Any particular recommendations, or are their Fleksy users here who 
think it's better than a portible keyboard?

Thanks.

How do you go to a different keyboard once you are done and want to go back to 
the normal keyboard? I can't figure it out. I got stuck in Fleksy and can't get 
back to the main keyboard.

Kimberly,

 

A 2-finger swipe down in the Fleksy spacebar keyboard area will switch to the 
Fleksy minimal keyboard. This gesture will also insert a new line so you might 
immediately want to swipe left to delete that inserted line.

A two finger swipe down in the keyboard area will insert a new line when using 
the Fleksy minimal keyboard. Your second question about initiating a search 
after entering text is more problematic. What happens with the standard Ios 
keyboard when doing one of these searches is that the bottom right button turns 
into a search button for execution when you exit the text input field. I find 
both the Fleksy spacebar and minimal keyboards deficient in this operation 
since i think neither does this search button conversion. So, I've gotten in 
the habit of returning to the standard Ios keyboard when searching in an app. 
This requires a two finger swipe up in the minimal keyboard to switch to the 
spacebar one followed by pressing the button to the left of the spacebar to 
switch to the iOS keyboard.

I think this is because Fleksy is making use of iOS's direct touch feature. 
Note that this is not the same as direct touch typing.

RE: two finger swipe up; was RE: Fleksy

[Alan Lemly]

Chip,

 

You are right that a 2-finger swipe up generally invokes reading of the entire 
screen or page by VoiceOver. I guess keyboard app developers have some leeway 
with the use of gestures since a 2-finger swipe up on the Fleksy minimal 
keyboard will switch to the Fleksy spacebar keyboard. By the same token, a 
2-finger swipe down in the Fleksy keyboard area will insert a new line and also 
switch from the Fleksy spacebar keyboard to the Fleksy minimal keyboard where 
this gesture in the rest of iOS causes Voiceover to read the remainder of the 
page from your current location.

screen then do more of a two finger flick down it will work great.

 

I hope that this helps and good luck.

Hello

Can you tell me how to switch to the minimal keyboard? I seem to only be

Thanks

Harry, 

 

A two finger swipe down in the keyboard area will insert a new line when using 
the Fleksy minimal keyboard. Your second question about initiating a search 
after entering text is more problematic. What happens with the standard Ios 
keyboard when doing one of these searches is that the bottom right button turns 
into a search button for execution when you exit the text input field. I find 
both the Fleksy spacebar and minimal keyboards deficient in this operation 
since i think neither does this search button conversion. So, I've gotten in 
the habit of returning to the standard Ios keyboard when searching in an app. 
This requires a two finger swipe up in the minimal keyboard to switch to the 
spacebar one followed by pressing the button to the left of the spacebar to 
switch to the iOS keyboard.

Michael,

 

Fleksy has two different keyboards, the default one which includes a spacebar 
and has a layout similar to the standard iOS keyboard and  minimal one without 
the spacebar which resembles that of the original Fleksy app later renamed 
Fleksy VO. If you're using the default spacebar Fleksy keyboard, there is a 
button immediately to the left of the spacebar that should allow you to switch 
to the standard keyboard. What is presented with this button depends on your 
Fleksy keyboard settings so you might have to rest your finger on that button 
and slide to hear the options it presents. If you're using the minimal Fleksy 
keyboard, you'll need to do a two-finger swipe up in the keyboard area to 
switch to the Fleksy spacebar keyboard where you can access that button to the

Hi Chip,

That's true, except in some apps. For instance, if you're reading an email and 
do it to flick up it will read the text of the email and not all the header

RE: Fleksy

[Bill Outman]

Yes, you can input Braille without a Braille device.  

You have to go into settings and add it to your rotor settings.  I don't 
remember how I did it right now, but there are a couple podcasts and guides on 
Applevis about using this feature.  

If you wanted to read Braille from your iPhone, then yes, you would need some 
sort of display.  

I'm better at writing the basic form of Braille than I am at reading it.

RE: two finger swipe up; was RE: Fleksy

[Bill Outman]

It’s difficult to keep that straight, as I am not doing a lot of heavy reading 
on my iPhone.  

 

Apparently these gestures do have different meanings in the context of the 
keyboard discussion we are having.  

 

I have thought about this Fleksy keyboard but haven’t gotten it, and if I can 
get the Braille input down I might not need it for those times when my 
Bluetooth keyboard isn’t with me.

I use the Apple Bluetooth keyboard but I also have handwriting

learn how to use.  I'm sure there are other opinions here.  There 
was a discussion of Keys to Go on this list a couple days ago, I

Hi all,

I see a *lot* of complaints and problems with Fleksy (other

I wasn't going to buy fleksy due to these, but some portible 
bluetooth keyboard.  Any particular recommendations, or are their 
Fleksy users here who think it's better than a portible keyboard?


Thanks.

How do you go to a different keyboard once you are done and want 
to go back to the normal keyboard? I can't figure it out.  I got 
stuck in Fleksy and can't get back to the main keyboard.

Michael,

 

Fleksy has two different keyboards, the default one which includes a spacebar 
and has a layout similar to the standard iOS keyboard and  minimal one without 
the spacebar which resembles that of the original Fleksy app later renamed 
Fleksy VO. If you're using the default spacebar Fleksy keyboard, there is a 
button immediately to the left of the spacebar that should allow you to switch 
to the standard keyboard. What is presented with this button depends on your 
Fleksy keyboard settings so you might have to rest your finger on that button 
and slide to hear the options it presents. If you're using the minimal Fleksy 
keyboard, you'll need to do a two-finger swipe up in the keyboard area to 
switch to the Fleksy spacebar keyboard where you can access that button to the 
left of the spacebar.

Hello Harry,

You can activate the search button, or enter if you do a two finger swipe down 
in the bottom right hand corner of the key board. This gesture will work in 
what ever set up you have going for the keyboard i.e. minimum or full sized… 
The gesture is hard to get to work at first, but keep with it it will work and 
then you will know the sweet spot to perform the gesture in. I have found that 
if you place your two fingers about a finger width from the bottom of the 
screen then do more of a two finger flick down it will work great.

I hope that this helps and good luck.

 Michael,
  
 Fleksy has two different keyboards, the default one which includes a 
 spacebar and has a layout similar to the standard iOS keyboard and  
 minimal one without the spacebar which resembles that of the original 
 Fleksy app later renamed Fleksy VO. If you're using the default spacebar 
 Fleksy keyboard, there is a button immediately to the left of the spacebar 
 that should allow you to switch to the standard keyboard. What is 
 presented with this button depends on your Fleksy keyboard settings so you 
 might have to rest your finger on that button and slide to hear the 
 options it presents. If you're using the minimal Fleksy keyboard, you'll 
 need to do a two-finger swipe up in the keyboard area to switch to the 
 Fleksy spacebar keyboard where you can access that button to the left of 
 the spacebar.

Hello

Can you tell me how to switch to the minimal keyboard? I seem to only be 
getting the one with the space bar.

Thanks

Re: Fleksy

[Alan Lemly]

Harry, 

A two finger swipe down in the keyboard area will insert a new line when using 
the Fleksy minimal keyboard. Your second question about initiating a search 
after entering text is more problematic. What happens with the standard Ios 
keyboard when doing one of these searches is that the bottom right button turns 
into a search button for execution when you exit the text input field. I find 
both the Fleksy spacebar and minimal keyboards deficient in this operation 
since i think neither does this search button conversion. So, I've gotten in 
the habit of returning to the standard Ios keyboard when searching in an app. 
This requires a two finger swipe up in the minimal keyboard to switch to the 
spacebar one followed by pressing the button to the left of the spacebar to 
switch to the iOS keyboard.

RE: Fleksy, returning to letter keyboard

[Tom Rash]

I once had the original Fleksy keyboard.  I downloaded it again a while ago
and didn't have much luck with it since they went through their changes.
How do I find the Fleksy VO keyboard.  I searched for it in the app store
but didn't see any fleksy vo restuls.  Thanks for any help.

Christina,

It sounds like you might be discussing issues with both the Fleksy spacebar
and minimal keyboards so I'll do my best to interpret correctly.

With the Fleksy spacebar keyboard active. the bottommost row has these keys
from left to right, the numbers key which a touch will switch to the numbers
keyboard, the Fleksy magic button pictured with a globe which allows you to
switch keyboards with a touch or does something else with a touch depending
on your settings, a long spacebar which takes up most of the screen space, a
period key which inserts a period with a touch, and the return or enter key
which enters a new line with a touch. If you touch and hold the magic
button, the period, or the return keys, either additional options or an
alternative action will occur depending on the key pressed and held as
follows: the magic button will offer switch keyboard, insert a comma, switch
to emoji keyboard, dismiss keyboard, or turn autocorrect off if you press
and hold it and slide your finger up and across and release on the option
you want; the period which is immediately to the right of the spacebar will
offer 4 or 5 additional punctuation options if pressed and held followed by
a finger slide and release as previously described; and the return or enter
key when held even a bit longer than a quick touch will bring up the emoji
keyboard. I suspect you are holding your finger down on the return button a
bit too long which is causing the emoji keyboard to appear when you really
wanted to insert a new line.

I'll admit that the gestures to move between numbers, symbols, and letters
through a single finger swipe right on the shift key while using the minimal
Fleksy keyboard is more than a little inconsistent. I find that a quick,
snap sort of right swipe seems to work the best but s I say, it is
inconsistent and you'll just have to develop a methodology that works for
you.

HTH,

Alan Lemly

I'm glad you are having better success this time. I can get around better
this time but I still can't type out a complete sentence. LOL! I keep having
to delete and then I delete and 30 minutes later, I give up and use
dictation.

Anyways, My key to switch from Emoji back to letters works. The only thing I
can think of is to clear your app switcher and turn your phone off for a bit
and then restart it. Alternatively you could try turning voice over off and
then back on again to see if the button will work. BTW, I also, keep
activating the emoji keyboard with the return key. I thought it was supposed
to be some kind of swipe but it does not seem to matter, the slightest touch
seems to switch me over to emoji. Alternatively, when I try to use the shift
key in minimal mode to switch to numbers/symbols I can't seem to make it
happen by swiping on shift key. ha ha, I just can't consistently make the
switch from letters to numbers and back again with the shift key while in
minimal keyboard. I haven't given up yet though. If I had never used the
original stand alone Fleksy keyboard and had such a superb experience I
would have given up a long time ago.

believe is a return key in the lower right, but this also seems to bring me
to the emoji keyboard.  This is a bit annoying, but not a big deal.  The
problem is, the key in the lower left that says return to letters, I cannot

Sorry, the Fleksy  VO keyboard is not available anymore.   The people that 
downloaded it and kept it in there iTunes library, still have access to it.

Oh, good to know. Strangely, I don’t know if I encountered this dialogue and my 
return to letters seems to work. Maybe it will show up here some day and I’ll 
know what is going on. :)

Re: Fleksy, returning to letter keyboard

I’m glad you are having better success this time. I can get around better this 
time but I still can’t type out a complete sentence. LOL! I keep having to 
delete and then I delete and 30 minutes later, I give up and use dictation.

Anyways, My key to switch from Emoji back to letters works. The only thing I 
can think of is to clear your app switcher and turn your phone off for a bit 
and then restart it. Alternatively you could try turning voice over off and 
then back on again to see if the button will work. BTW, I also, keep activating 
the emoji keyboard with the return key. I thought it was supposed to be some 
kind of swipe but it does not seem to matter, the slightest touch seems to 
switch me over to emoji. Alternatively, when I try to use the shift key in 
minimal mode to switch to numbers/symbols I can’t seem to make it happen by 
swiping on shift key. ha ha, I just can’t consistently make the switch from 
letters to numbers and back again with the shift key while in minimal keyboard. 
I haven’t given up yet though. If I had never used the original stand alone 
Fleksy keyboard and had such a superb experience I would have given up a long 
time ago.

Re: Fleksy, returning to letter keyboard

[Krister Ekstrom]

Hi,
That is, as i mentioned in an earlier thread a dialog that has popped up 
advising you to the possibility of changing the colors of emoji. Before you can 
do anything further with the emoji keyboard you must dismiss this dialog by 
pressing its ok button. It can be tricky to find, but once you hear something 
about you being able to change the tone of your emojis you can start flicking 
right. The first things you encounter are examples of how the emoji will look 
with different skin tones then comes the ok button. Double tap on it and you 
should then be good to go.
Hope that helps.

Re: Fleksy, returning to letter keyboard

[Traci Duncan]

:) That ok button was tricky to find.

I have learned the enter key in the lower right just needs a quick tap.  If I 
don’t linger there, it usually works.

Lol, I was thrilled to get VoiceOver’s focus in the edit field, use the rotor 
to go back via words, then go back into Fleksy’s keyboard to edit my message.  
Practice!  Practice!  It seems.  ;)

RE: Fleksy, returning to letter keyboard

[Alan Lemly]

Traci,

That's great that you're having success. You are exactly right that practice
makes being productive with the Fleksy keyboard much likelier. I'll add that
knowing about its quirks and inconsistencies of which it has several also
makes using it successfully much more likely.

Everyone please keep posting your issues as this is the way to figure them
all out, get them documented, and hopefully post either an answer or a
workaround.

RE: Fleksy, returning to letter keyboard

[Alan Lemly]

Christina,

It sounds like you might be discussing issues with both the Fleksy spacebar
and minimal keyboards so I'll do my best to interpret correctly.

With the Fleksy spacebar keyboard active. the bottommost row has these keys
from left to right, the numbers key which a touch will switch to the numbers
keyboard, the Fleksy magic button pictured with a globe which allows you to
switch keyboards with a touch or does something else with a touch depending
on your settings, a long spacebar which takes up most of the screen space, a
period key which inserts a period with a touch, and the return or enter key
which enters a new line with a touch. If you touch and hold the magic
button, the period, or the return keys, either additional options or an
alternative action will occur depending on the key pressed and held as
follows: the magic button will offer switch keyboard, insert a comma, switch
to emoji keyboard, dismiss keyboard, or turn autocorrect off if you press
and hold it and slide your finger up and across and release on the option
you want; the period which is immediately to the right of the spacebar will
offer 4 or 5 additional punctuation options if pressed and held followed by
a finger slide and release as previously described; and the return or enter
key when held even a bit longer than a quick touch will bring up the emoji
keyboard. I suspect you are holding your finger down on the return button a
bit too long which is causing the emoji keyboard to appear when you really
wanted to insert a new line.

I'll admit that the gestures to move between numbers, symbols, and letters
through a single finger swipe right on the shift key while using the minimal
Fleksy keyboard is more than a little inconsistent. I find that a quick,
snap sort of right swipe seems to work the best but s I say, it is
inconsistent and you'll just have to develop a methodology that works for
you.

HTH,

Alan Lemly

I'm glad you are having better success this time. I can get around better
this time but I still can't type out a complete sentence. LOL! I keep having
to delete and then I delete and 30 minutes later, I give up and use
dictation.

Anyways, My key to switch from Emoji back to letters works. The only thing I
can think of is to clear your app switcher and turn your phone off for a bit
and then restart it. Alternatively you could try turning voice over off and
then back on again to see if the button will work. BTW, I also, keep
activating the emoji keyboard with the return key. I thought it was supposed
to be some kind of swipe but it does not seem to matter, the slightest touch
seems to switch me over to emoji. Alternatively, when I try to use the shift
key in minimal mode to switch to numbers/symbols I can't seem to make it
happen by swiping on shift key. ha ha, I just can't consistently make the
switch from letters to numbers and back again with the shift key while in
minimal keyboard. I haven't given up yet though. If I had never used the
original stand alone Fleksy keyboard and had such a superb experience I
would have given up a long time ago.

RE: Fleksy and Possessive Apostrophes was RE: A Fleksy Keyboard Tutorial

[Alan Lemly]

I used a workaround suggested by Krister and loaded the hotkeys extension. I
then went into its setup where you're presented with about 8 pages of
hotkeys already defined. The lion's share of these were of no interest to me
so I deleted all the entries on page 1 and added three of my own: (1)
apostrophe s with what I believe is a checkmark icon (2) my email address
with the mail icon and (3) the underscore character with what appears to be
an old style smiley emoticon with the colon and the right parentheses. Note
that when touching these items on the hotkeys extension, VoiceOver announces
your typed output. It doesn't say apostrophe s as did the original Fleksy
but instead says something that sounds like ezz. It reads my email address
for the second item and says underscore for the third.

 

And wouldn't you know that since I set this up, I don't believe I've entered
one single possessive word where I needed this. At least it works but keep
in mind that when entering items from the hotkey extension that you first
place focus on the item and then double tap. You then must place focus back
on the keyboard proper before typing again.

It followed by a apostrophe S is a contraction of the words "it is" or "it
has" so that is probably why it is in the Fleksy dictionary. But it does not
solve the problem of needing to add apostrophe S  at the end of other nouns.

Hi,

This is a very good tutorial indeed. Please allow me to try to add some
things that i've discovered:

1 to uninstall an extension you have to click on the area at the top of the
screen where there are just clicks to be heard from VO, then look at the
text that appears below that describes the extension. If you have chosen the
right extension, swipe to the button that says "remove" and press it. This
removes your extension.

Unfortunately right now this is rather a hit or miss scenario but it works.

 

2 when opening the emoji keyboard for the first time, there's a dialog
explaining that you can change colors of the emoji. This dialog has to be
removed before you can do things with your emoji keyboard. You remove this
dialog by looking for an "ok" button which you double tap.

3, on the "more" screen there's a button called "languages" as was mentioned
in the tutorial. This button or link pops up a dialog that lets you choose
additional languages to download. I for example have Swedish and English as
my languages.

At the top of the dialog is a list of the language(s) you already have
installed and the one you're currently using is highlighted. Below is a list
of additional languages you can download.  Double click on the name of the
language you want and a progress meter will appear showing how many percent
of the language has been downloaded. When the download is complete, the
language disappears from the list of downloadable languages and appears at
the top of the dialog among the languages that are downloaded. Here you can
choose whether you want to use that language by double clicking it, the
language then becomes highlighted and is ready for use. Tip: if you have the
full sized keyboard, the one with the spacebar on it, you can do a quick
swipe left on the spacebar and the language will change on the fly. This
change will stick until next time you swipe quickly on the space bar to
switch languages.

Lastly, remember patience, patience, patience, there's a learning curve
involved with this app, so take your time learning it and don't give up if
it doesn't work for you the first time.

Hello Listers,

 

Recently, several posts have been made to the viphone list requesting a
tutorial on using the Fleksy Keyboard. This is the third party keyboard from
the developers of the original Fleksy app later named Fleksy VO that many of
us have used. I am providing such a tutorial with this post and am cross

RE: Fleksy again

Jennie,

With the Fleksy keyboard turned on, you should be able to place focus on the
text box and double tap on the screen in the area above the keyboard and get
the standard iOS response of either insertion point at start or insertion
point at end and repeat until you get either to the beginning or end. This
is the same behavior as with the standard iOS keyboard.

Re: Fleksy and a podcast or chat about how to use

[Krister Ekstrom]

In the fleksy app, there are 5 buttons along the top, the rightmost of these is 
called ”more”. Here you get a list with different options in it. You want the 
one called settings. When you’ve double clicked this one, a dialog comes up 
with various settings to change. The one you want is a switch button named 
”voice feedback”. Make sure this one is on.

What do you mean you don’t see any keys? firstly, does Voiceover say ”Key pad” 
when touching the area where the keyboard pops up when in a text field? Do you 
hear a clicking sound when touching in the area? If not one of two things could 
have happened. 1, you haven’t allowed Fleksy full access which it has to have 
in order to function.
2, In the voiceover rotor, make sure ”direct touch” is enabled.
Hope this helps.

RE: Fleksy and Possessive Apostrophes was RE: A Fleksy Keyboard Tutorial

[Alan Lemly]

Harry,

 

Yes, the Fleksy keyboard does an excellent job getting i t apostrophe s for
the it's contraction when one simply types i t s. If you want the its
possessive, you're probably going to have to do some editing to remove the
inserted apostrophe but I haven't practiced this enough to be sure about
this.

Hi Krister,

 

Please forgive any American English grammar tutoring that creeps into this
message. Unfortunately, it is necessary to express my point but I do realize
that most other languages do things differently and none of them can claim
they are any better than the others.

 

You are exactly right in your example about it's or the English contraction
for it is. I agree that Fleksy will get this one right. The confusing part
of this contraction is that in our inconsistent application of grammatical
rules, its as a possessive does not use an apostrophe before the s. So, if
I'm talking about a tree and want to comment that its bark is really rough,
the its preceding the bark should contain no apostrophe. I understand that
inconsistencies like these can't be programmed effectively and user care
must be taken to ensure their input is accurate.

 

But back to my original question. I find that I tend to use possessives more
than a fair amount in my typing. Whether typing something like John's car is
in the driveway or my dog's hair is tangled, an apostrophe followed by an s
must come after the proper name John or the dog to express the possession
conveyed by the sentence. The Fleksy Keyboard doesn't have an easy way to do
this that I've figured out nor does it automatically correct to add the
apostrophe if one simply types the word with the s at the end with no
punctuation. Your suggestion to try the punctuation offerings under the
period is a good one but alas the apostrophe isn't there. One of the things
I really liked about the original Fleksy app later renamed Fleksy VO was
that it did include an apostrophe s as one of its punctuation offerings
through the single finger swipe down gesture.

 

I hope I haven't confused the issue further. I suspect that maybe the
hotkeys extension will provide a way to make inputting an apostrophe s a bit
easier but I'm sort of wrestling with understanding how to set up that
extension as it doesn't seem intuitive to me. If it works like I think it
should, the user should designate some hotkey shortcut to represent what is
to be input and then provide what is to be typed when that hotkey is
selected. However, when I went into setup under the hotkey extension, I
found that what VoiceOver was reading to me wasn't clear as to what I should
do to configure it. I know I'm just going to have to play with it a bit to
trial and error it out.

 

Thanks for any suggestions you might have.

 

Alan

RE: Fleksy and Possessive Apostrophes was RE: A Fleksy Keyboard Tutorial

[Alan Lemly]

Harry,

 

Hang on and ignore my last post. I had missed the its possessive in front of
the word keyboard. So you typed that sentence using the Fleksy keyboard and
it got both the possessive its and the i t apostrophe s contraction correct?
I might need to ask about your Fleksy keyboard settings as I was not
successful when testing an its sentence on my iPhone with the Fleksy
keyboard.

It's a shame Fleksy doesn't prioritise VoiceOver on its keyboard but it's a
surprise that Fleksy got each apostrophe in this message right first time...

Hi Krister,

 

Please forgive any American English grammar tutoring that creeps into this
message. Unfortunately, it is necessary to express my point but I do realize
that most other languages do things differently and none of them can claim
they are any better than the others.

 

You are exactly right in your example about it's or the English contraction
for it is. I agree that Fleksy will get this one right. The confusing part
of this contraction is that in our inconsistent application of grammatical
rules, its as a possessive does not use an apostrophe before the s. So, if
I'm talking about a tree and want to comment that its bark is really rough,
the its preceding the bark should contain no apostrophe. I understand that
inconsistencies like these can't be programmed effectively and user care
must be taken to ensure their input is accurate.

 

But back to my original question. I find that I tend to use possessives more
than a fair amount in my typing. Whether typing something like John's car is
in the driveway or my dog's hair is tangled, an apostrophe followed by an s
must come after the proper name John or the dog to express the possession
conveyed by the sentence. The Fleksy Keyboard doesn't have an easy way to do
this that I've figured out nor does it automatically correct to add the
apostrophe if one simply types the word with the s at the end with no
punctuation. Your suggestion to try the punctuation offerings under the
period is a good one but alas the apostrophe isn't there. One of the things
I really liked about the original Fleksy app later renamed Fleksy VO was
that it did include an apostrophe s as one of its punctuation offerings
through the single finger swipe down gesture.

 

I hope I haven't confused the issue further. I suspect that maybe the
hotkeys extension will provide a way to make inputting an apostrophe s a bit
easier but I'm sort of wrestling with understanding how to set up that
extension as it doesn't seem intuitive to me. If it works like I think it
should, the user should designate some hotkey shortcut to represent what is
to be input and then provide what is to be typed when that hotkey is
selected. However, when I went into setup under the hotkey extension, I
found that what VoiceOver was reading to me wasn't clear as to what I should
do to configure it. I know I'm just going to have to play with it a bit to
trial and error it out.

 

Thanks for any suggestions you might have.

Krister,

 

Thanks for your kind words and your additional instruction. I especially
appreciate your comments about the extensions because now I understand how
to remove the ones that have been installed. It seems that the first line
that appears when you execute the Extensions button shows those that are
installed which I'm thinking may be limited to four because there is only
room for four extension icons on this top row. Only clicks are heard as you
swipe through these and nothing happens if you double tap on any of these
first row icons if none are installed. However, if any are installed, they
are presented in this top row but without any VoiceOver identification. If
you double tap on an installed extension icon in this top row, another small
box in the center of the screen will open identifying the extension and
provide an identified remove button to remove it. I noticed that the first
icon in this top row always seems to say GIFs whether th

RE: Fleksy and a podcast or chat about how to use

[Sieghard Weitzel]

I think when it comes to things like typing whether on the regular virtual 
keyboard or Fleksie and taking pictures whether for a photo or inside an app 
like Camfind, KNFB Reader, Tap Tap See etc. results vary greatly. Krister, for 
example, stated several times that he can't take a good picture if his life 
depended on it yet he is proficient with Fleksie which many others have 
problems with.
This just goes to show that we all have different skills, talents and some are 
good at something without trying hard and others just can't do it. I tried 
Fleksie again after reading Krister's message and while I was able to type some 
stuff, I don't have the patience to spend a lot of time with it to see if I can 
get really good at it. Just as others I had a heck of a time to get back to the 
regular keyboard and I followed Krister's advice about making sure voice 
guidance was on, key clicks was on, I initially made the keyboard large, but 
think that actually made it harder for me etc. One thing I seemed to have a 
hard time finding was that button to switch keyboards, on the regular Apple 
keyboard it is easy to find right to the left of the spacebar but unless you 
turn spacebar on the Fleksie keyboard has no spacebar since you swipe to insert 
a space. I was also a bit confused by all these themes and stuff. I'd really 
love it if Krister would take the time to produce a Podcast going over this 
from start to finish, e.g. how to first configure Fleksy and then to be 
inspired by what is possible I'd like to hear him type out a longer piece of 
text in an app like Notes just to see what is possible. How about it mein 
Freund!

Re: Fleksy and a podcast or chat about how to use

[Krister Ekstrom]

Have you turned on the voice feedback in the preferences of the Fleksy app? If 
not, then that’s the first thing you want to do.
I don’t know if this is necessary at all, but in the extensions part of the 
fleksy app, there’s an extension called ”one handed mode” this is an useful 
extension to have at least on larger phones because it moves the keyboard and i 
believe it shrinks it as well, making it possible to only use one hand to type. 
I use it on my 6s+.
There’s also a section for increasing or decreasing keyboard size. When i 
started having good results with the keyboard was when i increased the size of 
the keyboard to large, this keyboard size is useful for practising until you 
feel you can get a grip on the keyboard.
Do you have any audible feedback from the keyboard at all?

Do you have the keyboard click sounds on? If not, you can turn them on in the 
settings of Fleksy. The click sounds indicate that you’re indeed on the 
keyboard and typing.

Re: Fleksy and a podcast or chat about how to use

[Krister Ekstrom]

What exactly do you have problems with?
Robin you asked if you had to be within the keyboard to swipe and click, the 
answer is yes.
Also you wondered if words did have to be repeated when swiping, and the answer 
is yes on that one too, although you can set that in the preferences of the 
Fleksy app. There, you can also set the size of the keyboard. If you think it’s 
easier for you with a big keyboardd. The setting for this is in the main menu 
of this app.

Re: Fleksy and a podcast or chat about how to use

['Sandratomkins' via VIPhone]

Robin,
Being one of the early adopters of fleksy I find with the latest versions, in 
fact, for a long time now, that I cannot use it. this, I know, is down to user 
error, but can I work it out? No! so, I would like to join my voice to yours in 
a cry for help with any hints tips and tricks and general walk-throughs that 
anyone may have two offer.

Re: Fleksy and a podcast or chat about how to use

[Traci Duncan]

I continue to use the Fleksy VO app as well.  I could not get consistent, 
successful results with the native Fleksy app.  I sure wish they’d update the 
Fleksy VO app, or make it available as a separate native app.

RE: Fleksy and a podcast or chat about how to use

[Alan Lemly]

Wayne,

I agree entirely. I tried getting familiar with the Fleksy Keyboard app and
although I did make progress, I eventually decided that Fleksy VO was easier
and consistently accessible. I got tired of difficulties in returning to the
standard iOS keyboard from the Fleksy keyboard when I ran into situations
that input with the Fleksy keyboard wasn't working right which seemed a bit
too often.

I have never figured out why the Fleksy developers pulled Fleksy VO from the
Apps Store. I can understand why they might not want to support two apps but
Fleksy VO has worked consistently for me in its current iteration up through
iOS 8.3. I expect it still works with iOS 9.2 but I'm in no hurry to upgrade
from iTunes 11.4 which will be required to move up to iOS 9.x. I would think
they could just make Fleksy VO available in the Apps Store and not expend
any resources on it. Many apps in the Apps Store don't seem to be updated
all that frequently. But I suppose the Fleksy developers have their reasons.

Re: Fleksy and a podcast or chat about how to use

[Krister Ekstrom]

I am using the regular fleksy third party keyboard with no problems whatsoever, 
I repeat no problems whatsoever and i am totally blind and am using Voiceover. 
In fact i have stopped using the stock keyboard and am using Fleksy exclusively.
As you can see, and i’ll probably get flamed for this, Fleksy is not 
inaccessible. There’s a learning curve involved, as with all other apps, and if 
one is willing to learn then the experience is rewarding.

Re: Fleksy and a podcast or chat about how to use

[Christina C.]

I also need a podcast. I tried it for a couple of hours straight, thinking I 
could conquer it, but I could not  figure it out or get Fleksy to type what I 
was trying to type. I could not get the current version to accurately guess 
what I was trying to type. I used to love the old stand alone version of Fleksy 
and it was amazingly accurate at guessing what I was typing. Now, I find that I 
actually had to feel around for the correct letters just like I do with the 
native keyboard. :( I also kept getting stuck in emojis and could not figure 
out how to get out of emoji and then I could not figure out how to get back to 
the native keyboard. At least I can use dictation. I wish I could use Fleksy 
when I am in loud environments or I do not have a strong enough signal for 
dictation. I’d also like to be able to use Fleksy when I don’t want prying ears 
listening to me dictate. :)  I would absolutely love a thorough walk through of 
fleksy. I feel pretty fluent using my iPhone but the Fleksy app has me totally 
baffled and I just can’t figure it out.

Re: Fleksy

[Harry Bell]

To switch back from Fleksy to normal iOS keyboard, single tap and hold on the 
emoji button to the left of the space bar until it announces "switch to emoji". 
Then keep your finger down and slide slowly to the right. The first button 
announced is Comma and the next one is switch keyboard. Harry

 Hi!
 Few years ago Fleksy was commonly used amongst blind iOS users. I tried it 
 back then but since it didn't support my native language I gave it up. 
 Today I installed the new Fleksy keyboard which now supports more than 40 
 languages including Croatian but it seems to me it doesn't work as weel as 
 it worked earlier. I didn't try to type in English so I can't say is this 
 for fact or the Croatian dictionary is bad. I noticed it only comes up 
 with suggestions with the same first letter and it doesn't suggest other 
 words based on letters positions as id did before in English.
 What are your experiences with the new fleksy?

Re: Fleksy Keyboard

[Christopher Chaltain]

Fleksy is not a braille app. It's a standard keyboard, but it predicts 
what you're trying to type, so you don't need to exactly hit every key. 
It knows which keys are near each other on the keyboard and guesses 
which key you might have been trying to hit. You can find more on the 
App Store or with a Google search, but remember to spell it correctly. 
Here's the link to the App Store page 
https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/fleksy-+-gif-keyboard/id520337246?mt=8

Hi,

I got fleksy when it first came out and was very impressed, but I haven't used 
it for a long time because it wasn't very accessible. I tried it a couple of 
weeks ago, and it seemed to work pretty well from within the Fleksy app. When I 
tried using it as a third-party keyboard, though, it didn't work well at all. 
It offered almost no suggestions, and what suggestions there were didn't bear

Fleksy app and pasting your content into the apps you want to use?

Hi, I'm using fleksy all the time and loving it. In fact this mail is typed 
with fleksy. It works beautifully in both English and Swedish. For the first 
time I'm actually able to type and use mail on iOS in a meaningful way. 
Just my opinion.

Re: Fleksy Keyboard

[Gordan Radić]

  
  
Hi!
I'll try some more settings but there are two things consider me a
lot.
1. I'll try to explain this with English examples. If I want to
write 'dead' and I accidentally hit R instead of D while flicking up
and down to change the suggestion Fleksy only gives me the words
starting with R and it never offers 'dead' as suggestion. When I use
Fleksy before this wasn't the case. This is happening in Croatian
and I don't know how it acts when typing English.
2. Croatian language has some diacritic characters and on PC
keyboardthey are positioned after letters P and L in the second and
third keyboard row.
On standard IOS virtual keyboard they are hidden in alternative
characters and I type for three years in that way. In Fleksy
developers inserted those characters as in a PC style keyboard and
now P and L are not the last characters in their rows and it
confuses me a lot to hit exact letters because the whole layout is a
bit distorted. I need to check out can I disable it somewhere in the
settings but I doubt it.

RE: Fleksy Keyboard

[Alan Lemly]

Anna,

 

I'm using the original Fleksy VO app which is what they renamed the original 
Fleksy when they were coming out with the Fleksy Keyboard app. I still find 
Fleksy VO much easier to use and accessible than the Fleksy Keyboard even with 
it requiring that the input produced be copied and pasted to the desired 
destination. I wish they had left this app available in the Apps Store for 
those who wanted access to the original Fleksy.

 

I tried the Fleksy Keyboard through about four different versions and always 
found something about it to be offputting especially as compared to Fleksy VO. 
I'll say that they have made vast improvements with its accessibility but I'm 
not sure that's a positive comment since its accessibility in its first version 
or two was abysmal.

Hi,

 

I got fleksy when it first came out and was very impressed, but I haven't used 
it for a long time because it wasn't very accessible. I tried it a couple of 
weeks ago, and it seemed to work pretty well from within the Fleksy app. When I 
tried using it as a third-party keyboard, though, it didn't work well at all. 
It offered almost no suggestions, and what suggestions there were didn't bear 
much resemblance to what I had tried to type. Are those of you who are using it 
successfully using it as a third-party keyboard, or just typing within the 
Fleksy app and pasting your content into the apps you want to use?

 

Thanks,

Re: Fleksy Keyboard

[Gordan Radić]

  
  
Hi!
Fleksy is not a Braille keyboard. It's more less like usual virtual
keyboard but it uses some extended T9 functions and prediction
methods based on the letter position you type.
Built-in Braile keyboard is good but it doesn't support my language
and from time to time it gets decalibrated and the dots 1 and 4 are
often out of the screen.
MBraille is the best app for brailling but it cost some serious
dollars and I'd like to have something for normal typing.

Re: Fleksy Keyboard

[Alan Lemly]

I've found that the Fleksy keyboard has steadily gotten better with 
accessibility since it first came out but I'm not sure that's a recommendation 
considering how poor it was out of the starting gate. 

I think the Fleksy keyboard is probably good enough now that one can be 
productive with it. However, I kept my original copy of the Fleksy VO app which 
I find much better and easier to use than it's keyboard iteration. 
Unfortunately, this app is no longer available in the Apps store.

 I'm enjoying the Fleksy keyboard and am finally finding I can be productive
 with it after the handful of inaccessible versions. The one issue I'm still
 having with it is that it is sometimes inconsistent with announcing through
 VoiceOver what I typed following my swipe right. VoiceOver will say a word
 other than anything close to what I wanted and when I swipe left to delete
 it, VoiceOver will announce the word that I wanted as being deleted. So,
 apparently the correct word is there, VoiceOver is announcing an incorrect
 word, and when I delete what I believe to be the incorrect word, I discover
 the correct word was there all along. This is inconsistent but pretty
 frustrating when it happens.
 
 The other fairly consistent issue is VoiceOver not announcing typed
 contractions correctly with Fleksy Keyboard. I've learned a bit of a
 workaround. If I type a contraction such as I'll and Fleksy via VO announces
 just the letter l when I swipe right, I've learned that the correct
 contraction has actually been recognized by the Fleksy keyboard. It's almost
 as if the apostrophe in the contraction is confusing what the keyboard sends
 to VoiceOver. I've written the Fleksy Support guys about this but have yet
 to hear back.
 
 I hope you continue to enjoy the keyboard and I'll post back if I learn
 anything new about issues or workarounds.

 Thanks for this update on Fleksy. I've downloaded the Fleksy keyboard
 and have been using it this weekend for writing in texts and things.
 My only gripe a the moment is switching back from Fleksy to the
 regular keyboard. When going from the regular keyboard to Emogy and
 then to Fleksy, I double tap the Switch to Keyboard button in the
 lower left corner. But when using the Fleksy keyboard, I can't find a
 reliable way to switch back to the regular keyboard; that switch to
 button doesn't seem to be there. I've tried double tapping the Keypad
 button thinking that would work but no luck. The only way I've found
 to switch back is to go back into Settings and disable the Fleksy
 keyboard from my list of keyboards. I do like how I can type with
 Fleksy and VoiceOver and get good results, but not being able to
 switch keyboards is a downer at the moment.

 Also, if you flick up from the bottom right-hand corner of the keypad, it
 works like an enter key. Good for entering blank lines, and also for doing
 anything that you would hit and enter key  for a normal keypad.
 I find the fleksy app a little sporadic to use. Sometimes it works great
 but,  and other times it seems to put in gibberish and only the second
 selection is the one that you actually typed in. I complain to fleksy
 about
 this, they blame it on auto correct, but I have AutoCorrect turned off.
 I agree with you

 regular keyboard. When going from the regular keyboard to Emogy and
 then to Fleksy, I double tap the Switch to Keyboard button in the
 lower left corner. But when using the Fleksy keyboard, I can't find a
 reliable way to switch back to the regular keyboard; that switch to
 button doesn't seem to be there. I've tried double tapping the Keypad
 button thinking that would work but no luck. The only way I've found
 to switch back is to go back into Settings and disable the Fleksy
 keyboard from my list of keyboards. I do like how I can type with
 Fleksy and VoiceOver and get good results, but not being able to
 switch keyboards is a downer at the moment.

 Thanks for this additional tip. I agree that the Fleksy Keyboard can be
 inconsistent. I'm particularly finding that even though what I've typed
 has
 been entered correctly, VoiceOver sometimes doesn't announce what is
 displayed. When I place focus on the text area for the words to be read
 back, they are correct but that last word that I'm checking is not what
 VoiceOver read. I'm also getting inconsistent results with contractions.
 
 Fleksy VO was absolutely the best at consistently getting the right word
 from my keystrokes and working extremely well with VoiceOver.

 Also, if you flick up from the bottom right-hand corner of the keypad, it
 works like an enter key. Good for entering blank lines, and also for doing
 anything that you would hit and enter key  for a normal keypad.
 I find the fleksy app a little sporadic to use. Sometimes it works great
 but,  and other times it seems to put in gibberish and only the second
 selection is the one that you actually typed in. I complain to fleksy
