Re: Fleksy, still a major problem for me.

Hi Sandy,

I haven't had this problem. The keyboard is responsive when I am typing in my 
own text. Which iPhone are you using? I'm using a 4S.
Best,
Anna

 Subject: Fleksy, still a major problem for me.
 
 Hi,
 
I just updated my version of Fleksy and have the same problems that I 
 have always had with this app. To wit: while using the normal mode of 
 typing, the pattern based one that is, things are fine and I love the app, 
 but as soon as I need to input a specific word, using the accurate mode, I 
 get an extremely unresponsive keyboard and virtually never get it right. 
 Worse! I fine I delete my previous typing word by word.
 
has anyone found a way to use the accurate mode effectively and reliably? 
 I have written to Fleksy re this but have not been reassured that they are 
 looking into it. For me, this is enough to stop using an app which I had 
 thought a serious game changer.
 
Sandy.

Re: Fleksy, still a major problem for me.

2013-07-17 Thread Sandratomkins
Anna,
I too am using for S. But the accurate mode in Fleksy still is extremely 
inaccurate for me. Often I can't even seem to get a response to the letter I am 
touching. If I move about on the screen I find I'm deleting my previously typed 
text. And while I'm looking for letters, even though nothing is spoken, I still 
find letters are put into the text. Perhaps you, or someone, can offer me some 
tips as to what I'm doing wrong?
Ever hopeful, Sandy.

Re: Fleksy, still a major problem for me.

2013-07-17 Thread Richard Turner
Hi Sandy, 
I am writing this in Fleksy. I did the salutation with the intentional mode and 
had a little of your issue I think. After writing the capital S for your name, 
when I tried to get the a, I had nothing but silence until I tapped and then 
flicked right and heard the wrong word and found that a letter had been entered 
that I did not hear. I deleted that word and tried again. The second try 
worked. 
The main difference I think between my first and second attempts was that as 
soon as I touched the correct letter I lifted my finger quickly. Though, having 
said that I cannot seen to duplicate the issue now that I am in the midst of a 
lengthy note. This is on an ipod touch 5th generation. I am using Fleksy in 
portrait mode but I don't know if that really matters. 
Sorry for the rambling note but I was trying to duplicate your issue and could 
only partly succeed in doing that.

Re: Fleksy, still a major problem for me.

2013-07-17 Thread Arianna
I've seen this problem, two, and the way to minimize it, at least that I have 
found, is to not slide your finger around on the keyboard when looking for the 
next letter. Instead, just place your finger as near as possible to the letter, 
and then lift when you reach the right one. I hope this makes some kind of 
sense. Basically, you just have to get as close as possible to the letter 
before sliding to look for it. Anyway, hope this helps.


Thanks,
Ari

RE: Fleksy, still a major problem for me.

2013-07-17 Thread Alan Lemly
I'm still on the previous Fleksy version but I've seen Sandy's problem
sporadically but not nearly to the extent she's experiencing it. I'm using
an iPhone 5 and when using the accurate mode to spell out words, I use the
approach mentioned by Ari: I place my finger near to where the desired
letter is, slide it until VO announces the correct letter, and then lift and
move to the next one and repeat. I get occasional glitches but this works
correctly almost all of the time.
