Hi Scott,
Where do you feel they have turned their backs on the blind. That is a pretty strong statement to make. They simply decided to go with 2 versions keeping the VO version for the blind and a different version for the mainstream because it was too complicated to keep our version steady while developing the other one. Ron & Danvers From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Scott Rumery Sent: Thursday, February 20, 2014 5:54 PM To: [email protected] Subject: A Bit Surprised That This Hasn't Made It To The List Yet Hello everyone, As my subject line says I am quite surprised that the news of Fleksy finally becoming an option for app developers to use for inputing information in their apps has not been talked about on this list yet. Is it because a lot of us have decided that because the makers of Fleksy have sort of turned their backs on the blindness community by abandoning their initial claims of making a revolutionary on screen keyboard solution that the blind can use to speed up their typing on an touch screen device? In my opinion I find this decision deplorable but if there is a solution that is out there such as the one that they offer in Fleksy VO that can make my life easier when it comes to using an on screen keyboard then I will use it, and now that more apps will be updating and making use of the Fleksy SDK that just came out of beta today, I will probably use it even more often than I have been. I have written a blog post on this subject that I invite you all to read in which you can read the Fleksy press release if you like and I even link to Jonathan' Mosen's blog post on the subject of Fleksy VO as well. Please if you have a few minutes go give it a read and then let me know what you think. I really do want to get everyone's opinion on this, even the negative ones. It will all help me to understand what it is that iOS users will find interesting and want to read.
