Yes, I like it very much. Tried it in tweetings and now I can use it for mail too.

Instead, there are buttons across the top of the screen to access the settings and sharing functions. Second, note that the keyboard now takes up the lower part of the screen, just like it does in regular iOS typing. I'm wondering if your accuracy problems are due to this new position; I have no accuracy issues at all. The problems I've found are that you cannot review your text, at least not that I've found, and the numbers keyboard is rather awkward to use since it is not the keypad shape anymore. As I said, though, this is the initial release of the new Fleksy app with accessibility, and it will only get better from here, I hope.

It is also sluggish and the accuracy seems to have decreased. I prefer to lock Fleksy VO in landscape position so I can use my thumbs to type, but I cannot find this option in the newer update. It seems that the people at Fleksy have forgotten their original mission... To bring a accessible keyboard to the visually impaired. As of late they have changed their focus to supplying a keyboard to the masses. Too bad. I will continue to use Fleksy VO until my iPhone will no longer work with it, then I guess I'll go back to dictation. Chuck (mobile) Pleez x cuze enny tie ping or spelin air ores.

I've left the Fleksy keyboard app on my phone and have been updating it each time a new version has been released. I couldn't type with those versions with VoiceOver going and I also can't with this latest version. I'm having to type this message using Fleksy VO. When I upgraded and launched this latest Fleksy keyboard version, the text from the last thing I had written with it was on the screen and I was unable to delete it or to get to the Fleksy menu normally accessed by swiping up with two fingers. The app still appears to have bugs for those of us using VoiceOver but I'm curious if others are having the problems I am. I will be reporting them to Fleksy support.

It was only ever meant to be a stopgap measure while full accessibility was worked into the revamped Fleksy app. Right now there are few differences, but in the future, Fleksy will be updated and supported while Fleksy Vo will not be.

There are still some VO issues they are working on, but they say that, overall, VO users can use the regular app and not need Fleksy VO anymore. This is way ahead of their projected six month deadline, so good for them for getting this done so quickly. Best of all, the accessibility carries over to their SDK, so apps that incorporate Fleksy will have accessible typing as well, once they update to the latest version. Of course, apps that come onboard after today will already have the accessibility. -- Have a great day, Alex Hall [email protected] -- The following information is important for all members of the viphone list.
