Ok, restarted my phone. Working faster. No memory warning. How do I set voice over typing to nothing? I did not have any issues with voice feedback.

Kind regards,

This build types much faster and the clicks are more timely. I have noticed that the punctuation is not always being announced. But I am typing this with the custom keyboard and I haven't seem the memory warming yet. I have also tried some words from my dictionary, that is working perfectly. Thank you! It's a good thing I can see the character's as I type because the punctuation is not being announced at all now. Good night.

Hey all,

I this built is working a big faster than the previous one, the punctuation announces find, and I'm able to scroll through the list of suggestive punctuation.

Dictionary also works find, as evidenced as I can type Archibald and Schecter, which aren't in the default. However, I can't make a new line character. The I'm adding them in after using FlickType custom keyboard.

Also, I cannot type quickly using the custom keyboard without it missing most of the taps. Hopefully this can be fixed and isn't some Apple limitation.
Appreciate the updates end fixes, and thanks in general for a cool new keyboard! Cheers a

Hi Kosta, yet another quick update. I'm delighted to have the dictionary
available and happy to say it works very well indeed.

There is an error in the announcement of the full stop again however. If I
type a sentence and flick right at the end, a full stop is entered but it
announces the last word of the sentence again. Its the same situation for
adding a question mark for example, if I typed how are you then flicked
right and then down 3 times, a question mark would be entered at the end
but I would hear the word you announced three times during said flicks.

Also, the pitch change... I noticed George said it works well with the
feedback set to nothing. I have noticed that this helps with the delay as
you said, but I still get the higher pitch whilst typing. Ironically
however, I get the normal pitch whilst deleting! I have use pitch change
for deleting set to on in my settings, is it possible that somehow this is
inverting the expected behaviour?

Regarding the memory warning, I'm happy to report that I've yet to
experience this, and I'm running iOS 11.3.1 on my iPhone SE.

Hello,

This version of the keyboard extension is fantastic. I have not seen the speech issues that are being reported. I now am seeing the repeat of the last word when adding a period. I have never seen the memory issues. You have been able to shorten the typing lag. The keyboard is really starting to come together. Great job!

Ed Worrell

Just testing with typing feedback set to nothing. In build55. When will we
be able to add numbers using the system keyboard? Oh! No memory warning
when using FlickType on I pad.

Kind Regards,

George Cham

Alex, the laggy tap feedback and the missed taps when typing fast
should be resolved
sometime next week, using a new custom gesture recognizer.

Macky, I have also experienced hearing the word just before the
punctuation, and this also happened when I switched to the iOS keyboard.
Also changing the VoiceOver typing feedback setting seemed to sometimes not
take effect until I restarted either the app or the entire device. I think
there are some iOS bugs at play here, although I am not 100% sure at this
point. I have tried way too many combinations of things over the last few
days and I'm only now starting to understand VoiceOver a little bit better,
in terms of how to get it to say what I want, as well as when and how I
want it to say it. VoiceOver definitely seems to misbehave a lot from my
little experience.

By the way, I made a few improvements to the custom keyboard instructions
and
finally put them in this wiki page <https://flicktype.groups.io/
g/alpha/wiki/FlickType-Custom-Keyboard>. This will be the place to
reference first, and if your question is not covered there please let me
know when you post to the group so that I can also add the missing
information there. It seems that the exact wording on how and why to turn
typing feedback to "Nothing" will be critical to get right for new users.
Happy to hear any suggestions you may have in that area too.

Thank you all,
Kosta
