I am using the regular fleksy third party keyboard with no problems whatsoever, I repeat no problems whatsoever and i am totally blind and am using Voiceover. In fact i have stopped using the stock keyboard and am using Fleksy exclusively. As you can see, and i’ll probably get flamed for this, Fleksy is not inaccessible. There’s a learning curve involved, as with all other apps, and if one is willing to learn then the experience is rewarding. /Krister
