RE: how does flick type compared to apples slide to type?

2020-02-04 Thread Alan Lemly
I'm with Chuck about spending the necessary learning and practice time with 
FlickType. I use it in portrait mode with only an index finger but I can type 
significantly faster with it.

Hello,

I use the FlickType keyboard about 99% of the time. Usually, the only time I 
use the iOS keyboard is when I am using financial apps, because I prefer the 
number keyboard and I have to enter a lot of abbreviations.

 

I tried the slide to type keyboard. With practice I am sure I could get faster, 
however this keyboard I can only type with one finger at a time, but with the 
flicktype keyboard I hold my iPhone in landscape mode between my hands and type 
with my thumbs. I can actually type faster this way than on a physical 
keyboard. That being said, I feel I should admit that I am terrible at typing 
and spelling.

 

For those having trouble with FlickType I highly suggest that you read the user 
guide. The keyboard is easy to use, but there are some gestures that make 
typing much easier.  

Chuck

RE: how does flick type compared to apples slide to type?

2020-02-02 Thread Alan Lemly
Hi Sieghard,

I'm a huge fan of FlickType but I use it in full screen mode and access it by 
selecting it when typing a text or email. I use the native iOS on screen 
keyboard for other few word text input such as searching, etc. It's great that 
we have alternatives.

You're right that FlickType does take practice to get good with it and learn 
its gestures for accessing numbers and symbols but I find that practice was 
well worth the effort since I can type much faster with FlickType than with any 
other on screen option I've tried. I haven't practiced with slide to type and 
found it a bit offputting when I first upgraded to iOS 13.x so I turned it off.

What I like about slide to type is that it's just there, all I have to do is 
hold for a second on a letter and I can start sliding, I don't have to change 
keyboards.
I am either not proficient enough with Flicktype or Flicktype is just not quite 
at a point where it can be left as the main keyboard in all situations. I know 
Flicktype officianiados may disagree, but what I mean is that I don't think 
somebody who can type fairly confidently with Flicktype for most regular words 
is able to use it for more complex entry of numbers, symbols and so on without 
an incredible amount of practice. I actually wonder if people like Chuck who 
seem to be very proficient with Flicktype never switch to the iOS default 
keyboard. For me to find Flicktype truly useful it would have to be similar to 
slide to type, something I can use the normal way, but if I have a longer 
stretch of text to type all it would take is a small gesture and I can start 
tapping away like Flicktype intends me to do. For me dictation is still what I 
always default to if it involves longer text and I'm not in a public place or 
using a Bluetooth keyboard. Thanks to using a Logitech K780 at home and the 
Logitech G613 at work quickly switching to my iPhone if I'm in a text message, 
Facebook Messenger or email entry field is very easy and fast.
Having said all this, I occasionally use slide to type, i.e. I don't have it 
disabled, because it actually does work quite well, but just as with Flicktype 
it also requires a bit of practice.

One frustration I had with Flicktype was with non-English words. Be it pronouns 
or if I simply wanted to type in Spanish or maybe practice with my wife in 
German. Building up a personal dictionary of entries was just too tedious.

Thank you very much for that.  I will have to try it.  I liked 
touch typing mode.  Hearing so many letters is like hearing 
numbers while you are trying to dial one, or remember one.  I 
begin to forget where I was and what I was saying.

RE: how does flick type compared to apples slide to type?

2020-02-02 Thread Sieghard Weitzel
With slide to type, if you haven't disabled it, you find the first letter of a 
word and hold your finger there for a moment. You then hear a little triple 
tone which indicates slide to type is active, then you very quickly slide your 
finger (without ever lifting it up) to each letter of the word you want to 
type. Just as with Flicktype it is not important if you are exactly on the 
letter, just slide to the approximate place of the letter ad on to the next. At 
some point iOS will  guess what word you want and speak it, at this point you 
can lift your finger and the word will be inserted. You should go to 
www.Applevis.com and do a search for "Slide to Type" and find the tutorial 
Thomas made.
If you have a word like "tomorrow" where you have a double letter, you simply 
slide to the "r" and then on to the "o", iOS will guess that a double letter is 
required.
You don't even have to insert a space, if you type a word using Slide to Type, 
after you lift your finger you can put it back down, find the first letter of 
the next word, hold and start sliding again, the space is automatically 
inserted.

 

hold your finger

How does slide to type differ from touch typing mode, where you slide your 
finger around until you land on the letter you desire and then double tap? Or 
did they just change the name of touch typing mode? Just a bit confused.  Thank

RE: how does flick type compared to apples slide to type?

2020-02-01 Thread Richard Turner
Keith,
Flicktype doesn't involve sliding.  You just tap approximately where you think 
the letters are and flick right and if that isn't the word you wanted, flick 
down to see what other suggestions it has.
Thomas donville has done a good podcast on the slide-to-type for VoiceOver 
users.
I seem to always revert back to using mBraille as my third party keyboard or my 
hardware Bluetooth keyboard when I want to type more than a few words.

Richard
