Re: Learning more about you #poll

Wish list:

1. Half screen where all edit fields are easily accessed
2. Text short cuts
3. I would still like an option to be able to check the spelling of 1
specific word at a time. Having spelling on sometimes gets in the way if
you hesitate in your typing. I think Kosta mentioned a possible 2 finger
swipe to the left past a word to spell check and then a 2 finger back to the
right that would initiate the spelling of that word. In this case you would
not have to have spelling on all the time.
4. I too would like to have tap sounds on touch down rather that touch up.

Thanks.

Benny

Hi Alpha Group,

Would you please send us your wish list for what you'd like for us to work
on next? We're going to be sending the poll as well as asking what the
larger group would like for us to work on next and we'd appreciate your
suggestions before sending it out.

Hello all,
Okay so someone posted... somewhere, that theyw ould like the swipe sounds back.
I totally agree. Now, voice over announces when a word or taps are
deleted, but I really do like my swipe sounds. Honestly, I'd take that
over voice over announcing it anyday.
I mean it could be like a toggle thing.
Also, the latest change you have, with voice over announcing certain
things at a higher pitch to me anyways, is a bit... odd. I liked it
much better before.
Just a personal opinion.

Hey chuck and all,

I would like to see the standard keyboard implemented again. I like the thought process. Maybe we could see the two finger flick up send text to the text field... I don't know if this is even possible but you could have the two finger flick down copy and remove text from the active text field so that full text can be edited in flicktype with the current FlickType editing commands..

Just my thoughts...

Another thought, if the flick down and hold gesture could have an option to enter text without dismissing the keyboard, then I could send text messages and emails with the ability to interact with the text fields and the rotor.
Actually, this is exciting, all the features of a half screen keyboard without the potential of accidentally changing cursor position. I realize this is what you were going for with the first half screen attempt, but I think this may be a more elegant solution, at least for me... If it is even possible. 😎

Would it be possible to have the text entered once a period is inserted? If that was possible, with the reduced height option, I wouldn't need a half screen keyboard.

Hello Ashley and Kosta,
I have the visible keys turned on, and I noticed I am more comfortable with the keys visible, even though I really can't see them as opposed to just the white lines on the custom keyboard. Weird, huh!

As I said in an earlier email I was playing with the reduced height option and I think if two more lines were visible to be able to interact with all an emails fields, and a gesture to insert text in a field may be another solution for a half screen option.
Just spitballing.
Chuck.
PS all seems to be working fine.

Hello Ashley and Kosta,

I would love to see the return of the half screen or standard sized keyboard. I would like to see dictionary words show up in the suggestions list closer to the top or even as the preferred options. I have a couple of low vision friends and clients that would love to see high contrasts modes. For me the standard sized keyboard would be at the top of my list..
Thanks,.

The keys on the keyboard are easy to see.
I don't mind using keys or no keys.
However. This is my second attempt at typing this.
Because when typing this before, the keyboard disappeared and only the first word wow remained.

- Keys will now be shown by default. Can be turned off in the settings.
- Visual tweaks to keyboard area when keys are hidden.
- Visual announcements will now take up more than one line if needed, rather than squeeze the announcement text all in one line by making the font extremely small.
- When reading back the typed text, it will now also be shown as a multiline visual announcement.
- "System" announcements such as switching to numbers or invoking shift will now appear yellow and have a slightly higher pitch.
- Added a workaround setting for the WhatsApp crash, off by default. Enable "Reduced Height" in the settings only if you have been experiencing crashes with WhatsApp.
- Removed confusing "Inactive" badge on Upgrade tab item.
- Added hint on how to change the preset emoji setting.
