Yes that's what I thought: before, it was easy to perform the three-finger left/right to switch between numbers, symbols, and letters. However with the most recent update, a letter is typed. I'm using an iPhone 5S with the latest iOS 11.3.

FlickType Groups.io Email Operations Revisited was RE: [FlickType-alpha] Group settings
Hi List,
toggle quoted messageShow quoted text
I'm replying to the below message but doing so to the hello@flicktype.groups.io group since this has to do with list admin and not alpha build issues. The original flicktype@groups.io list was divided into subgroups in order to focus traffic related to alpha and beta builds into separate compartments. With this segregation, the developers were looking ahead to when the app is released and set up the hello@flicktype.groups.io subgroup for messages related to it and other general traffic. I believe if you post to the original flicktype address, it will automatically be routed from the hello subgroup but I'm not sure how this was accomplished. Groups.io allows many operations to be set by sending blank emails to an appropriate address. This makes going to the website unnecessary and eases administration of your list subscription in my opinion to change things like delivery method, etc. As far as I'm aware, these email operations also work with subgroups in Groups.io provided you have the correct subgroup identifier. Below is a list of email operations you can accomplish by sending a blank email with no subject to the listed address. I'm using the FlickType Alpha subgroup in this list as the subgroup on which the operation will be effective but you should be able to use these addresses for the hello and beta subgroups too by substituting those words where alpha occurs in the address below: Here's the list: 1. To subscribe: alpha+subscribe@flicktype.groups.io 2. To unsubscribe: alpha+unsubscribe@flicktype.groups.io 3. To get help: alpha+help@flicktype.groups.io 4. To go nomail: alpha+nomail@flicktype.groups.io 5. To go to digest delivery: alpha+digest@flicktype.groups.io 6. To go to full digest delivery: alpha+fulldigest@flicktype.groups.io 7. To return to single message delivery: alpha+single@flicktype.groups.io I have my email client set to send in html format so that links will remain live so the above email addresses should open a new message ready to send in your email client. If not, they can be copied and pasted there. If you have trouble with any of these email operations working, please post back and let us know. We're learning as we go. Alan Lemly

Go to https://groups.io/sendloginlink and enter the email address that you are subscribed with. 2. Once you receive it, follow the login link in that email. 3. Select the group (eg flicktype alpha or beta). 4. If on mobile: Bottom right of the screen "More", then Subscription. If on laptop or desktop: "Subscription" on the right sidebar. 5. Change the "Email Delivery" option. I should also note here that there's plenty of settings to customize from the web interface, as well as the ability to access all the message archives. Hope this helps!

Yes, my understanding is that the hello@flicktype.groups.io is now the general group. I also believe if you post to the original flicktype@groups.io that it will show as coming from the hello address automatically. Alan Lemly from my iPhone

Beta 1.32
pdromey@...
Hi Kosta and Ashley.
This is my first time being a beta tester for anything but, as a vision
impaired former Flecksy user, I am just so enthusiastic about flicktype
that I wanted to get involved.
I have followed the recent beta versions from .28 to .32 and I welcome the
increased options under settings.
In effect, when I sometimes, for example, type a three letter word and
flick right, more letters are added instead of repeating the word I have chosen.
I am using both an SE with IOS 11.3 and an older iPad with ios 9.35.
The latter works well but there are some pronunciation issues obviously
connected with it being so old.
I have noticed in the current beta a lack of sensitivity when flicking
right, in that it sometimes types a letter instead of announcing the word.
This could, of course, be my error. But it appears to happen quite a bit
now and it never really did before, certainly not in Flecksy, or in the earlier
betas .
It might be an idea to be able to turn the instructions option on or off in
the menu.
To be honest , I don’t notice anything much of a diffdrence between the
standard and alternative tap effects. I think that allowing an on/off
spelling option is an excellent idea, particularly when, like me, switching
between the two languages. My own preference here would be for the lower
pitch.
I assume that, given the structure of Flicktype, it would not be possible
to allow editing from beginning to end of a completed message/email or other
document. Obviously, one can read it using the word and character rotor
options but not edit it, as far as I can gather.
I had some crash, and also mysterious switching into ios settings issues,
on .28 but all is well since then.
But, all in all, I am absolutely delighted.
Paul

Deletion clicks and latency
Benny Barber
I just started getting key click sounds when deleting. I have deletion sounds turned off. Also, there is some latency while typing that I have not experienced before. This has all just started after a day running build 32. I don't know what's up

Fluctuating volume levels.
Nozi
Hi everyone
Is anyone else experiencing different volume levels of the keyboard clicks while typing? The Keyboard goes loud and soft while typing a word.

Re: How do you use FlickType?
Gerardo Corripio <gera1027@...>
Yes definitely a lot faster! I?m sure I'll gather speeds equivalent to when the sighted type! Anyway I hold my Phone in my left hand, and use the right index, middle and ring finger for typing. Keep up the great work!

FlickType is my new favorite way to type. I find it easiest to use voiceover, and just type like I normally would, with both of my index fingers. Thanks, Jessica
