Hello all
I use a combination of Fleksy and BrailleTouch and they work well together.
I find that I have days where I just want to use Fleksy, days where I
just want to use BrailleTouch, and days where I want to use a bit of both.
I so can't make up my mind because I love both of these apps despite
their strengths and weaknesses.
Chris.

Hi all,
I'm going to be completely honest. I think Fleksy's word prediction is amazing
and the first few times I used it I felt as though it were reading my mind. I
think the concept and the developers are brilliant.
As the novelty wore off and I began trying to rely on Fleksy to get things
done, however, I realized why I was not completely happy with it and why I
prefer the normal keyboard. Yes, it's fabulous for entering dictionary words,
but I found it difficult to enter anything beyond that. For example, websites,
Email addresses, ellipses, names of brands that rely on typing dictionary words
with initial capitals, emoticons, acronyms, and so forth proved rather tricky
to enter--sometimes you can add words to the custom dictionary but more often
than not you'll have to use the QWERTY and symbol keyboards, both of which I
find buggy, and the latter I find incomplete. If you try to write out three
periods, you'll probably find a space between each of them. And of course you
lose out on the spelling checker; you are everyxpected to spell words correctly.
I have therefore given up using Fleksy, and my personal gut feeling is that Apple would probably
not wish to integrate Fleksy into the OS, at least in its current form. I don't feel that the
"elegance" and "simplicity" inherent to iOS are present (beyond the word
prediction) and I don't feel it would have universal appeal, beyond being a neat novelty, outside
of the VO/Zoom community.
I know not everyone feels this way (and I'm particularly keen to hear how
others addressed the challenges I presented) but that's just my opinion.
Cheers!
