Thank you Chuck.

I would chalk this up to iOS 11 being buggy, but if you keep having this or other similar issues, please let us know.

Really like this. Thanks for the quick turnaround on hiding the visual word announcements. Working great.
Likewise, I don't really care for the spacebar but it's no harm having the option there.
I agree the familiarity with the iOS keyboard is a good move. And for me has actually become a much better idea than the extra row above the keyboard from the old app.
I would also find phonetic feedback when navigating the keyboard manually to be useful.

I would also like to be able to manually type a capital letter, then complete the word with taps.
Oh, and by any chance, could we have a few more emoji spots? I understand we don't want too many, but even expanding it from six to ten would be nice.
I know there is a complete emoji keyboard on the way at some point, but the swipe up shortcut is nonetheless very convenient.

All in all though this feels like something which is extremely close to public release.

Kosta,

Would it be possible to get an option to turn on phonetic feedback of
letters when touch typing (manual input of a word)? The latest build is
great. Thanks so much.

Hello,
Everything is working fine.

It looks as if you are trying to make the manual input keyboard close to the iOS keyboard. Probably a good idea.👍

It is working great here also. I agree adding words to the dictionary is awesome.

It's working well for me here too. Very happy to now have the ability to add words to the dictionary directly from the custom keyboard. 

 The new visual is useful too. 

 Correcting a word I spelled wrong while typing manually also appears to be working. 

 And I like the compromise you found for the letter versus whole word situation with manually typed words. 

 

 So all in all a great build☺️

In order for learn new typing session, does the word need to be entered manually or by using the FlickType gesture? For example if the word dog is not in my dictionary and I type dog in manually, does it get  entered   automatically into the dictionary?

Hi George, 

 The words will be entered into the dictionary once you have dismissed the keyboard, or sent the message or email you were typing.

I also tried editing a word, which worked perfectly, and when I went back to review word by word FlickType pronounced the word instead of each letter. I know this was buging some people. Personally, I expect some trade offs when dealing with accessibility.

Chuck,

I downloaded the "Balance" app and managed to reproduce the issue. I
cannot switch to the iOS keyboard, although I can often dismiss
FlickType without a problem. The app has not been updated in over
three years, and under iOS 11 it's running in what's called
"compatibility mode". The problem seems to be an iOS bug that is
specific to custom keyboards, that are running inside such apps, and
in particular on numerical fields. The popular SwiftKey keyboard is
also behaving the same way, although when the keyboard is not full
screen you can at least navigate to other fields. What this means is
that it's unlikely that I can address this rare issue that's outside
of my control, apart from introducing the half-screen mode at some
point in the future which might help as a workaround.

As a side note, iOS also crashes that app every time you double tap
and hold on the iOS "Next Keyboard" button to bring up the keyboard
list. You can try that on a non-numerical textfield in that app.

Hello all,
 
 I am in love with the new add to dictionary option. Great job!👍🏻
 
 I personally do not use the visual markers on the keyboard so I have several people playing with the keyboard. They are a little less tech savvy to put it nicely.
 
 They like the border, but they still would like to see high contrast modes. They like the progress, but would like to see more detail put into bore low vision features. They do understand that this is very much a project in its early stages, and would like to see a full keyboard on screen at some point in the future.
 Thanks,
