Re: Very impressed with your keyboard!
Kosta,

I expect you'll give us some guidance or FlickType itself will on how to port over any custom dictionary entries we've created while using the beta? I know you mentioned some dictionary changes but other than the export process, I can't imagine what you could do to make the dictionary any easier to use, at least not with respect to adding new entries to it. I also hope that the system wide keyboard effort doesn't torpedo the existing app as I seem to recall it did during the Fleksy days. It just seemed to me that the Fleksy keyboard never was nearly as easy to use as Fleksy VO which I suspect had to do with some Apple requirements as well as the presence of the spacebar. I can't imagine any presentation that differs from the current FlickType standalone app keyboard being any easier on which to generate input. But I'm certainly open to being surprised and impressed. Thanks again for bringing this back and all the best in your efforts. Alan Lemly

I really appreciate that you've not only brought this back, but brought it back in a manner that's designed to be accessible with voiceover from the start. Not many developers do this, so it's great to see!

Looking forward to playing with it more. Btw, is there any idea of what the cost might be when it's released on the app store? Christy

I suppose one could always export there dictionary to a mail message. Then import it from the mail message when the App Store release version of FlickType becomes available.

What do you all think about this idea? At least, you can retain a backup this way. Lol

Work your custom dictionary
Hi List,
I know I'm preaching to the choir here but just want to urge everyone to develop or maintain the good habit of adding words to your FlickType custom dictionary. Since we all know that a complete dictionary drives the success of FlickType's predictive engine, I apologize for stating the obvious. But if you ever are manually typing a word or name to input it because it wasn't in FlickType's dictionary, add that extra step of a single finger swipe up after the word is announced to add it to your dictionary. You'll be glad you did. I'm assuming that anything we add to our dictionaries during this beta phase will be able to be ported over when FlickType officially drops. I expect y'all are enjoying the increased typing productivity you're experiencing since FlickType arrived. I know that I surely am. Alan Lemly

Hello everyone

I just wanted to announce my presence on the list as well. The moment I saw on twitter that FlickType had created a mailing list, I said to myself: I have to subscribe to this list right away! I'm a big fan of what was formally called Fleksy, now renamed to FlickType and look forward to contributing to this amazing keyboard. Where I can. To say how loyal I am, I even used Fleksy even when it became less accessible because for me, the benefit of typing with the former keyboard, far out wade the speed of how fast I could send a text, email etc. Rather than using the stock keyboard on ios. Kind regards to all Daniel

Gerardo here from Mexico; also on the Betatesting team of your keyboard; it's very amazing! Several of my Spanish-speaking blind friends are also on the Beta testing team (I recommended them to you) and one of them mentioned the possibility of someday seeing the keyboard as part of the iPhone's keyboards? Wow that'll be amazing! So keep up the great work! and also let us know when the keyboard is available on the App Store, so I can record a Spanish podcast on it, to promote it among the blind here?

Re: FlickType.
Hi Coster,
I thought I was the first post. Smile Nevertheless I just wanted to congratulate you on bringing back flick type, formally Flexi. Keep up the good work.

I really love this app! I really love the predictions. I tend to touch the wrong keys, and FlickType types in what I want 99% of the time.
Hey to the developer! There is a post on the ViPhone list talking about your awesome app!!! Keep up the work!
