Re: Fleksy Update - Version 1.8
Thank you for your remarks. I was just wondering if Fleksy had given some recommendations. Some research done on which is the fastest way to type . I am sure that research must have been done to assess the best method which the physical proximity of the index fingers or the thumbs. The best way to type using Fleksy considering the human anatomy.

Re: Fleksy Update - Version 1.8
For a long time, I typed with my right index finger while holding my phone in my left hand. However, then I found that if I put the phone in my lap or on a table and use both index fingers, I was able to type faster. As has been said before, whatever works best for you, use that method.

RE: Fleksy Update - Version 1.8
The fastest way is the one that works for you. I am not trying to be a smartass, but there really is not one way that's better than another. Some people support their phone with their fingers and use both thumbs and then go crazy, others might hold the phone in their left hand and use just the index finger of the right to tap away or others again hold it in their left hand and use multiple fingers of the right. I think I even read about one lady who said she has such small hands that she can put the phone on a table or her knees in landscape mode and type away using both hands like typing on a regular keyboard. Just play around with it, the more you use it the more proficient you most likely become and you will find out what works best for you.

RE: Fleksy Update - Version 1.8
Hi, Chuck. Thanks for the Fleksy update comments. The only thing I'm concerned about is with the change to favorites and its integration with contacts. I have a limited number of contacts that I regularly text or email and I liked having a specific button on the main menu to pick one of them as the recipient of the copied text. Is that still available after the update or is another step required to first select a contact. I'm hoping that favorites already set up in Fleksy still have a dedicated button to send to them.

Now there is a favorites button. When you tap this a list of your favorites will drop down. Chuck (mobile) Pleez x cuze enny tie ping or spelin air ores.

Okay. So that's one extra step. I assume that one of the options under the list that opens when you select this favorites button is to your Contacts where I'm guessing you can then search?

RE: Fleksy Update - Version 1.8
Hi Alan, I think you can safely go ahead and upgrade if you like the Favorites list the way it was. I just tried this and while Fleksy will ask you to allow access to your contacts, I would call it sort of pseudo integration because you still have to initially go into Settings and add people to your Favorites list. The only difference is that if you go to Settings in the app and then to Settings and Setup Favorites which is the first option, you then get your list of Favorites, you select one and then select that person's email or mobile number depending on whether you usually email or text them. If you want the option to both email and text them you have to add them twice. After you are done you can then type some text, after you do a 2-finger swipe up to bring up the menu, you select Favorites and here you now see the list of people you added, it will read their name followed by either email or phone number. If you pick somebody with an email address it will open the mail app and their address will be filled in, your text is in the message body and the subject in the subject line if you typed a subject followed by an enter as your first line of text. All you have to do is tap Send. I guess I shouldn't call it pseudo integration since it is a Favorites list and not direct access to Contacts. I will maybe suggest they add a Contacts button as well in the menu which would then directly bring up the Contacts and it would allow you to select a contact, then select either their email or mobile number and then start the mail app or messages app accordingly. This way you could pick somebody you haven't added to your Favorites list although I guess you can simply choose email or message and then do that in the app. Anyhow, only difference is that you don't have to type in all your contacts separated by a comma in the settings, having access to your Contacts this way allows you to more easily manage your Favorites list. Keep in mind that if you upgrade any Contacts you manually typed in before will be gone, you are starting out with a blank Favorites list and first have to go to Settings, Manage Favorites and add them. The nice thing is that it will first say the person's name before it says their email or phone number, I believe before you just had a list of numbers and you had to know the number in order to select it.

Hi Alan, I'm very happy with the update. Now that Fleksy is integrated with the contacts, I don't care if Apple wouldn't include Fleksy as a native app. One can now easily Send mail or SMS without copying and pasting.

RE: Fleksy Update - Version 1.8
Sieghard, many thanks for this detailed overview of the upgrade. I also wrote Fleksy Support with some questions about the upgrade. They said that favorites set up in a prior version would automatically be imported into the new version. Sounds like your experience with this was different. No matter since I've decided to stay with the older version and not upgrade at this time. The program is doing what I need at a good rate of speed and I don't want to give up the dedicated send buttons to my favorites which are currently located on the main menu screen.

RE: Fleksy Update - Version 1.8
Hi Alan, Everything seems to work well and it's certainly nice to finally have that Contact integration. The app does seem a bit snappier, but I still sometimes experience the issue that when I type a name or something accurately (by touching and waiting to ear the feedback) that sometimes I touch 2 or 3 letters and then when I try to type the next one Voiceover shuts up and I have to start over. But this certainly is not a new problem, everything else is very good. You know, I guess these themes might be important since they are also trying to go after regular sighted users, but I couldn't care less how it looks as long as it works.

I've not installed it yet but i know many on this list use Fleksy. Some of the changes include: 1. Integrating favorites with contacts. 2. Accuracy and speed improvements. 3. A couple of appearance themes to change the look. These used to be called skins in the PC world if I'm remembering correctly. I really love this app but haven't taken the upgrade plunge yet. I'm always a little nervous about upgrading something I've already learned the ins and outs of unless it includes some must have new feature. I would appreciate it if someone updating to the new version would give us your comments about it. Alan Lemly -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the VIPhone Google Group.

Re: Fleksy Update - Version 1.8
Hi Ellen, I updated Fleksy, it seems to be working fine. As a matter fact, it seems faster. Not much is changed, except for favorites are now under an integrated button. I tried using the vanilla skin, I didn't like the way it looked and went back to the old style. Chuck (mobile) Pleez x cuze enny tie ping or spelin air ores.
