Hopefully the explanations some have offered in this thread will help those who
are struggling with the Fleksy paradigm. It's certainly different, especially
if you're the type of person who likes character by character keyboard echo.
You're not going to get that kind of feedback with Fleksy
Hi, if you don't know where the letters are on a qwerty keyboard then
this app will probably not be the best for you, and you might have
trouble finding the letters on a virtual keyboard. However if you have
the idea of where letters are, even if it's not exact, then this app is
very useful.
Alan, I am kind of glad to hear you say this because I feel the same way. I
know lots of folks love Flexie and I am genuinely glad for them, but I
simply don't get it and I don't know why. I am not stupid and I can type on
my phone, albeit it haltingly. But using Flexie simply does not produce
Hi Sandy and others,
There is a great podcast about using Fleksy on Applevis.
It helped me a lot. The only concern I have with Fleksy is that it doesn't
support my native language. Hopefully in the near future they will add more
languages.
So the more people can have the benefits of this great
Well, I feel much the same. I can use Fleksy, and understand it, but I don't
get good results. I spend most of my time rewriting words! On the other hand, I
too love BrailleTouch!
I think the Fleksy issue, for me anyway, is probably about the amount of space
you need to move between letters.
I like fleksy but I would appreciate more if they give you more audio
feedback regarding the letters. I don't have the patience to guess
the letters!! I am not that kind of person who feels you
should have to know where each letter is. But I like it and I use it
often, however, I am

I am not solidly in one camp or the other. I use fleksy sometimes and
think it is a good app that adds value some times. I want to address
the question why you have to guess in the first place. I think that
someone asking this question is not quite getting the point. When you

I love Fleksy for doing a quick Tweet, a facebook status update, or writing
a quick note. If I need to be more specific, I use BrailleTouch or my
blueTooth keyboard. I'm learning how to use the built-in IPhone keyboard,
but I type at a snails pace with that keyboard as of right now. I'm glad
My problem with it is the letters on the keyboard aren't there. I have to make
a guess at and most of the time it's wrong. If I have to spend that much time
learning how to use it, it's not worth it to me. Still, it's on my iPhone and
every now and then when I'm really bored, I'll play with
Hello Alan, Fleksy doesn't rely on a virtual keyboard at all. The
cornerstone of Fleksy is word prediction. That means you are meant to
roughly, and quickly, tap the screen approximately where each letter
would be, if there was a virtual keyboard. It is not until you do a
flick right gesture that
Hello Alan. As Grant mentioned, you don't need to know exactly where the
letters are. If you have a basic idea of where they are on the QWERTY keyboard
then you can use Fleksy without issue. Since there are several combinations of
four letter words for example which could equal a specific word
Hello all
yes I love Fleksy a lot and use it for both short and long messages. A
tip: you can send e-mail directly via Fleksy by going into the menu and
by choosing e-mail. Also if you have e-mail addresses in your favourites
you can double tap on a send to menu item and it's just a case of
Hi all, I just happen to grab this app and am still playing with it. I think
I like using the standered keyboard better. Just my thoughts.

For me, my spelling lacks luster. to use fleksy, one needs to know how to spell
every word correctly, so VoiceOver sounding the misspelled word alert, is a
time saving necessity in comparison.

Hi all,
I'm going to be completely honest. I think Fleksy's word prediction is amazing
and the first few times I used it I felt as though it were reading my mind. I
think the concept and the developers are brilliant.
As the novelty wore off and I began trying to rely on Fleksy to get things
Hello all
I use a combination of Fleksy and BrailleTouch and they work well together.
I find that I have days where I just want to use Fleksy, days where I
just want to use BrailleTouch, and days where I want to use a bit of both.
I so can't make up my mind because I love both of these apps
I just feel that I can type faster on it. I can not seem to grasp the hole
idea of having to guess whare I think the letters are. Just my thoughts.

HI. I was just curious. After typing with a virtual keyboard for a while I
found that I could pretty much guess where the letters were.

I agree. On the native keyboard, I frequently can enter several common entries
(i.e. my passcode) without even waiting to hear confirmation that I touched the
right spot. In most cases, my finger lands on the correct letter or very close
to it.

Hi Neal,
Well, since they have made it free, that is one big pro.
It can speed up ones typing but since Apple doesn't allow other keyboards to
be made the default, you do your writing in the app, then bring up the apps
menu to then do something with the text: send as a tweet, text, Email, copy
Hi Neal,
Pros:
Fleksy has increased my typing speed by at least 50%.
It is easy to use.
it does not conflict with any other apps.
The Fleksy team is constantly updating the app to make it better.
Its fun.
Its Free.
Cons:
There is a learning period, it has some app specific gestures.

Hello there. In addition to what Richard and Chuck have already said, this app
