Hi Shawn, I can't help you much with landscape mode since I mostly use Fleksy in Portrait mode. However, if you turn your phone Fleksy will automatically go into landscape mode and tell you if you have the home button on the left or the right. I did try this because I played around with typing with multiple fingers, almost like regular typing, it's almost possible, but the iPhone is a bit too small. I could see how you really could do this on an iPad with Fleksy.
As for your question about the swipe right for more options, the options referred to are those you mentioned, "Instructions", "email", "Message", Twitter", Clear" etc. I highly recommend you tap on the Instructions button and read through those since everything is explained quite well. As for the list of suggestions, those you simply get by swiping down after you swipe right. If you swipe right and the word spoken is not the word you wanted, swipe down to hear the other suggestions. Example, type "Hello" and if Hello is spoken swipe down, it's very likely your next suggestion is "group" or, if "group is spoken instead of "Hello" then it is quite likely that "Hello" will be your first suggestion in the list. The Favourites in settings is an edit field and right now all you can enter in that field is a continuous listing of either email addresses or phone numbers separated by a comma. This will result in those email addresses and phone numbers showing up above the "email", "Message" etc. options. Tap an email address you entered as a Favourite and the mail app will open, the text you typed will be inserted and the person's email address will be in the "To" field. Basically it saves you from typing an email address or selecting one from Contacts once the mail app opens. The same goes for phone numbers and text messages. I think it's a somewhat cumbersome way to add efficiency especially since if you add let's say 20 favourites and you want to tap on "email" because you are sending an email to somebody else, you have to swipe past all those 20 favourites. I think it's really designed for a few entries, otherwise it would have made a lot more sense to have at least the 3 or 4 main options (Email, Message, Copy and Clear) in front of the Favourites rather than the other way round. I wrote to the developers and pointed this out and I was told that once iOS 6 comes out Apple gives developers better tools to interact with the Contacts and it sounds as if there will be true integration with the Contacts everybody already has on their phone at that point. Keep in mind that this is just the first release and an update has already been submitted to the app store and should be available in a few days. This update will add the ability to manually capitalize letters and to both export and import the custom dictionary, but even as a first release Fleksy works great and the developers are extremely responsive. I sent an email in with some suggestions and feedback last night at 11:41 PM and received a reply at 11:48 PM, 7 minutes later. I think you just have to keep on practicing, I think the only time this app does not help is if somebody really has no special awareness, i.e. if you are not able to tap at one place and then tap higher or lower and to the left or the right, but I think if somebody experiences this issue they will find using an iPhone in general very difficult since this sense of where things are on the screen is important even when you want to find an app on the home screen, a button you know is in a certain position etc. I think many people on this list know that if "Messages" is in their top row on the home screen and the third app from the left where that is, I rarely miss an app more than maybe by one and since I know that if I touch Settings and want Messages I just have to move a tiny bit left since Messages is in the same row as Settings and just to the left. Lastly regarding the sluggishness of Voiceover. I suggest you ask the developers, you can email [email protected] and maybe they have some ideas. I have a 4S and have not noticed anything like this nor do I remember anybody else posting with this problem and I read most of the probably hundreds of Fleksy messages. Maybe there is another reason, but you can always delete Fleksy and see if the problem goes away and then resync with iTunes or redownload the app, once you buy it you can go to the "Purchased" section after you open the app store and simply redownload/reinstall it and you will not be charged again.
