Chuck,

 

I wrote a Fleksy Keyboard tutorial and a tips guide for the first-time Fleksy 
keyboard user in the middle of January and though they've released a couple of 
upgrades since then, I think most of what I wrote is still accurate.

 

You can download the Fleksy Keyboard tutorial.html from here:

You can download the First-Time Fleksy Keyboard User tips.htm from here:

I marked up each of the above documents so that putting your rotor on headings 
and single-finger swiping will jump between sections. Some sections contain 
bulleted lists so single finger right swipes should jump between bulleted items.

 

I've noticed a bit of improvement with the Fleksy Keyboard when manually typing 
in a letter at a time in the last couple of upgrades. The keyboard also seems 
to behave better when it's called up for input in another app but I admit, it 
can still be frustrating when doing this. It still has the annoying bug of 
repeating what you just deleted when you press the first letter of new input 
for those of us using VoiceOver. I've trained myself to ignore the first spoken 
thing following a deletion.

 

I hope you find these helpful and post back if you have more comments and 
questions. Oh, and they've never made the Fleksy Keyboard anything as easy to 
use as the Fleksy VO/original Fleksy was for VoiceOver users in my opinion.

Thanks, I will do a search and see if I can find it.

Hello all,

I used to be a big fan of the Flexi keyboard, but since it's updates to being a 
third-party keyboard, I have had absolutely no success typing with this thing. 

Whenever I type a word it types gibberish as my first selection, and usually my 
second or third selection is what I actually typed. Even when I type the word 
I, it gives me the wrong letter!

 

Am I doing something wrong, or is everybody else having as much trouble with 
this keyboard as I am?

 

I remember the old Fleksy V.O., which worked absolutely perfectly. It was 
fantastic for the visually impaired, and I used it constantly. I could type on 
it five times faster than any other keyboard I've come across. But they no 
longer supported. 

I guess it work too good!

 

I have tried the Swift Key keyboard, with some success. It is not nearly as 
fast as the old Fleksy V.O.

P.S. I noticed that they no longer have the Wii love feedback but in their app. 
Now they expect you to go to Facebook, which I am not a member.
