I also feel the same way. I love my iPhone way too much to want
to switch to another platform, especially with its accessibility
limitations.
I did, however, have a rather interesting thought about how
Syntelia could make fleksy a keyboard for iOs. If apple will not
allow Fleksy to be a keyboard for ios, then why couldn't Syntelia
either make a version of fleksy for jailbroken devices, or make a
tweak that jailbreak users could install that would make Fleksy a
keyboard for iOs? Although I can't think of specific examples, I
have heard of developers that make two versions of their app: one
for the app store, and one for cydia. This is just my opinion,
but I don't see why it couldn't be done.

This is how I feel as well. Fleksy on Android as a keyboard
default
wouldn't be enough to cause me to switch from iPhone to Android.
Although
Android has definitely improved in terms of accessibility, from
the reviews
I've read and the podcasts I've listened to, it still has a long
long way to
go before it's comparable to IOS. I would never consider
switching unless
access was at least the same if not better than my iPhone. Just
my
thoughts. Personally, I'm hoping that Apple sees how terrific
Fleksy is and
works something out so that it can be used across the OS as a
default. A
long shot I know, but one can dream.
Best,
Rick

Hi from the Fleksy team. We are writing to ask a question to
those in the
list.
As you know, we are committed to develop Fleksy and make it
available for
more and more users.
One of the restrictions we've had so far, is that on iOS, Fleksy
cannot
replace your system keyboard across the device. We provide as
much
integration as possible, letting you email, SMS, tweet, and
(soon) post to
Facebook from within Fleksy. And you can copy and paste to any
other app.
We are trying to go beyond this: we could provide Fleksy as a
keyboard
across the device, so you can use it in every single app without
the need to
have a separate app, or to copy and paste. We've also noticed
that Android
is becoming more and more accessible for visually impaired users
with each
update.
So, here's a question for the list:
If there was a phone that was accessible, and that had Fleksy
built in from
the start. By built in, we mean that Fleksy could be used as a
system
keyboard on every app, and that Fleksy would come with the phone,
i.e.
without having to purchase the app separately.
How likely would this be to make you consider buying such a
device?
Obviously we are talking about a hypothetical scenario, so for
now let's
assume all other features will be the same as your current
device.
Would the availability of Fleksy as a system typing mode to use
in every app
make you consider an accessible Android phone in your next
upgrade?
Looking forward to your thoughts on this.
Ioannis
Fleksy team
