A sighted user question

Daniel McGee
 

Hi all, even though this app is designed for VoiceOver users, I had a thought and would like to share it with you all. Even though when one has sight and can tap the spacebar, return, symbol keys to input the desired function, would they be losing a second or two of speed. The reason why I asked this, is because I wondered if you use FlickType and have vision, is it quicker from a sighted point of view to tap a spacebar or in this case to swipe right after a word and continue on typing. If anyone on the list is sighted, I hope you are able to understand what I am somewhat poorly trying to explain into words but from a VoiceOver point of view to a visual one.

Re: Handling web addresses

By the way, once the system wide keyboard is fully functional, you will be able to enter web addresses, and email addresses etc. manually one letter at a time. Unfortunately that feature is not yet available.

Hi all quick question.

Once the keyboard becomes system wide across IOS, how will such things as web addresses when typing get entered correctly?

At the moment, there seems to be spaces between the words example:

Www. Bbc. Co. Uk

Be interested to know what others think about this.

At least in my testing of entering EMails and websites, when you find the dot symbol (above the letter w) or the at-sign (above the q) flick up/down, and it’ll cycle between at GMail, At Yahoo etc.; in Websites, the dot cycles between dot com, dot net etc. Hope this helps some.

For web addresses I would use the iOS keyboard.

Nothing is wrong, a new build is coming out very soon. This build is a huge step forward.

HI, I am no longer receiving any builds on Testflight. I was wondering if
something is wrong, as the previous cycle of releases, a build was coming

have is 45.

Voice echo characters.

Chrystal Alexandroff <chrystalex@...>
 

Hi. So I am currently beta testing build 45 but before this, I was using the regular app. In both cases, I have noticed that the setting to enable voice echo on characters doesn't appear to work for me. For the record, I personally like just having the clicks in flick type, but I thought it might be worth mentioning.

Re: Use Workflow to improve your Flicktype experience

Sy Hoekstra <sy.hoekstra@...>
 

Oh, that's a good idea. Allowing workflow action extensions in the share sheet in the flick type app would be a great idea too; though a lot of the usefulness might be rendered irrelevant once Flicktype goes system-wide.

Re: Flip Type Question

Chuck Dean
 

Hello,
A systemwide keyboard is in alpha testing at this time. It is in its first incarnation, and it’s a little rough, but it will be refined over the next few weeks, and should be available to everybody in the very near future.
Please be patient. :-)

Re: Words with apostrophes.

Chuck Dean
 

When typing emails the @ sign can quickly be entered by using the invisible symbol keys above the qwerty row.
The @sign is above the q, and if you flick down you will also find, @gmail.com, @yahoo.com, etc.
There are many useful symbols along this line. I suggest you experiment with the top row... Lots of good stuff!
I hope this helps,

Chuck

Re: problems with FlickType on Iphone 6S

Hi all.

I have 2 IPhones. One is an IPhone SE and FlickType works fine on that. The other is an IPhone 6S and I am having problems with this phone. In order for Flicktype to work when typing I have to turn voiceover off. Is this a known problem? Is there a solution? With voiceover on when I launch flicktype on the 6S it just says something like typing ready but there is no keyboard to type on. This is with a clean install of flickType.

When typing with FlickType, many contractions are automatically generated when you type. For example I'd, we'll, it's, we've, shouldn't. I typed all these contractions by simply typing the letters... The apostrophe is automatically inserted.
I hope this helps.
