Excellent, Chuck. I'll just say that the Fleksy keyboard has too many things that can cause it to burp and hopefully they will continue to decrease with future upgrades. I'm glad you're having some success with it.

Hi Alan, I finally figured out what my problem was. Some how I turned off direct touch typing, which I had to access with the rotor. I am typing this with Fleksy, and I am having a good bit of success. 😎 Chuck (mobile) Pleez x cuze enny tie ping or spelin air ores.

Usually, a restart of my iPhone with the home and power buttons fixes this problem. I'll also say it seems to arise in apps not requiring much keyboard input other than an occasional search. You might try going into settings, general, keyboard and removing the Fleksy keyboard from the installed list. You don't actually have to uninstall the app from your device. I would then open the messages app and type a sample using the standard keyboard before turning Fleksy back on. I will say I'm trying to use the Fleksy keyboard in spacebar mode since my experience is that it seems better behaved in this mode. You also have access to the button immediately to the left of the spacebar that will enable you to switch back to the standard keyboard. I understand your frustration because the Fleksy keyboard seems unpredictable enough to make one unwilling to fool with it but progress is being made with VoiceOver with each subsequent upgrade. Only you can decide whether the benefit of using Fleksy outweighs the cost of its frustrations. Good luck with your decision.

Now when I touch any key all it says is keyboard, and doesn't do anything. Which also means that there is no way to get out of the keyboard, the two finger swipe up and swipe down does nothing. The only way to get out of the keyboard is to delete it from the phone. I have restarted the phone, reinstall Fleksy, turned off and turned on voiceover, nothing works. It is totally locked up, totally useless. I am however glad that you are having success with it. I used to love Fleksy VO when it work, it was fantastic.

There are 3 different sizes of the keyboard and you can select size from the settings. When one’s new to the keyboard i’d recommend the largest size. /Krister 5 apr. 2016 kl. 01:34 skrev Alan Lemly <wale...@gmail.com>: Chuck, I still find the Fleksy VO app very useful and still use it. I'm trying to make myself use the Fleksy Keyboard more often since like they say, practice makes perfect, or in this case, practice does give you better results. After you type what you need with Fleksy VO, do a 2 finger swipe up and you'll be taken to the screen where VO will read your input and let you copy it for pasting to the app of your choice. You might try using the Fleksy Keyboard in minimal mode instead of with the spacebar present. This will present the keyboard more like the original Fleksy app. You can switch from the spacebar keyboard by doing a 2 finger swipe down in the keyboard area. A 2 finger swipe up while in the minimal Fleksy keyboard will switch back to the Fleksy spacebar keyboard. Good luck.

Hi Alan, I read your tutorial, excellent job! However, I went back and tried Fleksy and had very poor results. It's first prediction is wrong about 99% of the time. Second or third prediction is usually the correct one. I do not know if this will improve over time, I seem to remember that it does have a learning future with in it. It is technically faster than the iOS keyboard, but it is very frustrating! By the way, I went back to my old Fleksy VO app, and tried typing with it. It got every word right! Unfortunately, many of the options no longer work. Although messages and email still work. But as I typed, no text was displayed.
