Switching FlickType between portrait and landscape when "Lock rotation"is switched on

Field, S. (Scott)
 

Hi Ashley and Kosta

Would it be possible to allow FlickType to go into landscape mode even if lock rotation is on?  I believe that the Overcast app overrides the IOS setting for rotating lock so it may be possible.  The reason is simply that with voiceover  reading a webpage, email or any lengthy piece of text, the reading stops if you inadvertently move the phone into landscape mode and then you have to set it to read again.  This is why I keep my phone’s lock rotation switched on.  I then need to switch it off when I want to type a long piece of text using FlickType and then remember to switch it  back on after typing, something I almost always forget to do.  I can imagine that this is not possible with a third-party keyboard, but thought it to be worth asking.

Thank you

Hi all

No, predictions are not what I ment.

To use the word: impossible as the example.

If one typed out the following letters of this word manually: i m p o. Then followed this up with the tap typing method, with fleksy and the flicktype classic app, to complete the word. You will find that the word is completed. However, do this with the new FlickType app and in any app that contains text and part manual typing of a word doesn't auto complete to your nearest guess.

Does this makes sense to everybody?

This is sort of handy in situations where: you know the beginning spelling of a word and by making a reasonable guess of the rest of the respective word that you have trouble spelling, I have found that more often than not, the word to turn out correct with a combination of: part manual entry / tap typing the rest of it out.

Again, hoping this is further understood because it's the best I can do in describing it out for everyone to understand the concept.

Kind regards

Thanks, Sieghard, I agree with your preference. When touch typing on the iOS keyboard it is mostly faster to have the predictions above the keyboard, but with FlickType's way of typing without waiting for the feedback of the letters, the predictions above the keyboard would mostly slow a user down in comparison.

Is this what you're referring to Daniel? Or are you referring to something different than word prediction? For long words and emails, you can set up shortcuts in the iOS settings that work with FlickType. For long words, or things that you have to touch type like email addresses, these shortcuts do save lots of time. Please let me know if you want instructions on how to use this feature. You don't even have to touch type, you can enter the first few letters without waiting for the letter announcements and flick right for the email address to be automatically filled in.

I think that is not the point of Flicktype and navigating predictions as it is currently done by swiping down is much better and easier, I wish Apple would figure out a way to let Voiceover users do this, e.g. that as you type predictions are automatically spoken and say you could flick down or up to cycle through them.

Are you talking about text prediction?

 

I’d like to see the ability to have Flicktype do like the IOS keyboard does, and display its predictions above the keynoard, 3 at a time.

 

The current system could still be used to easily navigate those suggestions.

Hi fellow flick typers.

 

 

Using the original Fleksy as an example here. What is that feature called where you enter part of a word manually but know the rest of the spelling for it and by applying the rest of the pattern for a given word, it is entered upon swiping right for completion.

 

 

 

I hope that makes sense.

 

 

 

Have noticed that: flicktype classic is able to do this. Where as the new flicktype container app and its use in all other apps doesn't have this functionality built in.

 

 

 

Again, hoping this makes some sense. If not, please do let me know and I would be more than happy to provide an example or two.

Re: Have you received my yearly subscription yet?

Sieghard Weitzel <sieghard@...>
 

Your annual subscription would have been charged and become active at the end of your current monthly subscription. If you changed it from monthly to annual a day after your monthly renewal you wouldn't be charged/notified until 29 days later. In actual terms, if your monthly subscription renewed on the 14th of every month and you had changed it from monthly to annual on the 15th or 16th, a day or 2 after the renewal, the annual subscription would only start on the 14th the following month since your payment is always for the period ahead.
Similarly, if you cancel the yearly subscription tomorrow now that it is active, you still can use Flicktype until October 14 next year since you already paid for the year.

I guess if you have an Apple Watch with cellular you may occasionally have only the watch and not your phone, but really how often do people leave their phones at home. Then of course there is the issue regarding that urge that one always has to look at an incoming email or text and reply. I don’t know how old you are, Chuck, but I’m 51 and grew up in a time when back in Germany we had a relatively large house on our farm where 4 generations of the family lived together and we had a landline with 1 single rotary phone in the entire house, later on (probably in the 80’s) my parents had an extension in the bedroom, but there was no answering machine or anything like that so if somebody called and nobody was there to answer then they would just have to call back. I more and more find it refreshing to leave my phone in the bedroom when my wife and I have breakfast or dinner or to simply ignore an incoming call while we eat and if I receive an email or text and I can’t reply just in that moment then so be it, the world goes on.

Hello,

Kosta is working on a highly experimental watch app, that at this time actually can not do anything because the watch does not support any type of keyboards.☹️

 

He is looking for work arounds and hopes to develop the first keyboard for the visually impaired to be used on the apple watch!

I assume it will work like the demo version of flicktype where we will type in text and then export it to other apps, which will work fine for me.😎

Hello,
At this time there is nothing you can do with a keyboard on the Ample Watch, so there is no reason to install it.

Kosta send out an experimental keyboard only to see if people could actually type with it, which I could.
Now he needs to develop an app which could take the text and export it to other Apple Watch apps.

I am sure kosta will figure something soon.😎 Apple

Re: Apple Watch app?

Chuck Dean
 

Hello,
You are correct, the small screen would make typing impossible with almost any keyboard because the key selection would have to be so precise, but with flicktype only the pattern of the key location is needed for the keyboard to recognize the word. So only FlickType will work on the watch.
I tried an early experimental version of the FlickType keyboard for the apple watch, and I was amazed how well I could type with it! Of courts, there is nothing that I could use the text for, the watch does not support text input, but there is Potential for a container type app that could export text.😎

Keep your fingers crossed.
