Re: Fleksy and Typing Special Characters
Also, if you put your finger on the keyboard area and hold it there, above the letters is a row of special characters. For example, approximately above the Y is the left parenthesis. Lift your finger from the screen, if the left parenthesis is not what you want, then flick down to get similar options: right parenthesis, brackets, braces, etc. Just above that top row of letters is an entire row of special symbol options. The more I've used them, the easier it has been to memorize and find them quickly. HTH, Traci 1 step, 2 step, ... 1,311 steps! I can do the BIG CLIMB 2013, with your support.

Re: Fleksy and Typing Special Characters
I mostly use braille touch now, but Fleksy has its other symbols above the keyboard at the top of the screen. Touch and wait for VO to speak a symbol. If it is not what you want, flick down with one finger right there. Hope this helps. Am going into Fleksy now to see if I can get a better way to tell you. I love Fleksy, but braille is a little easier for me, though I still use it. Nice to have a choice or whichever tapped first!

Re: Fleksy and Typing Special Characters
Hello, Alan, Above the keyboard, there will be a row of symbols It takes a bit of getting used to, but move your finger to one of those symbols, then lift up. After doing that, just flick down. The symbol will change automatically each time VoiceOver speaks each new symbol. If that's not the symbol that you're looking for, just flick left to erase it. Slide your finger over to the next simple, and repeat the process until you find the one you want. From what I've noticed, the symbols seem to be arranged similarly to the symbols on the iOS symbols keyboard layout. That is, each time you flick down to get more suggestions from one of the symbol columns, if you will, they are presented a lot like the rows of symbols on the symbols keyboard of iOS. I hope that makes sense. Thanks, Ari On Mar 25, 2013, at 9:48 AM, Carol Pearson carol.pearso...@googlemail.com wrote: When you flick right after a letter, you get a full stop (period) character.
