Hi, The other thing that hangs up some folks trying to use Fleksy for the first time is the tendency to hold your finger on the letter you are aiming for. This is natural if you have been used to touch typing since you really learn to wait for that verbal VO confirmation. But with Fleksy, the final decision is made based on the pattern you type so waiting for a response from the iPhone may actually be getting in the way of the logic Fleksy is trying to use.

Debbi, I wonder if you aren't trying too hard for accuracy when you type with fleksy. That was my problem when I first got the app and it still happens occasionally when I think too hard about where I'm tapping on the screen. Try simple sentences at first for practice. Type quickly not waiting to hear the letters as you go. And don't get discouraged. Eventually you'll get it and when you do I think you will love this app. Kimber On 8/20/12, Debbi Williamson <[email protected]> wrote: > I wish I could get the hang of Fleksy.
