Re: New release: An entirely new sound treatment has arrived with build 29!
The app is meant to be used with VoiceOver enabled, and we'd love to get it working for you. Some folks have previously mentioned that active or assistive touch settings might interfere with the app. Do you have any such accessibility settings enabled?

Re: New release: An entirely new sound treatment has arrived with build 29!
Michael Sciabarrasi
Hello. I am a voiceover user and I just attempted to use flicktype with voiceover enabled. The app does not seem to be compatible with voiceover. Is this app meant to be used with voiceover turned off? When I tapp on a key, it doesn’t type the letter unless I double tap on it. Also, sometimes no matter where I tap on the screen it just says ready to type. Also, when I swipe up with 2 fingers with voiceover turned on it doesn’t bring me to the menu.

Groups.IO gave me a way to confirm my account through the browser, and it acted like I had, but when I tried to post, it told me that my account had not yet been confirmed. It was not until I clicked the link to confirm my account through the email I received that I was really confirmed and could then post, after setting a password.

Thank you Brandon. For now you can turn off the deletion sound from the

setting, and we will be adding the old sounds back as an option in the next release. And just a general note for now as well as in the future, you can always revert back to the previous release if you just go to TestFlight and select "Previous builds" towards the bottom of the page. - Kosta http://flicktype.com Invite your friends to beta@flicktype.com today!

least of the problems. It is just a bit loud for my taste, the older one was quiet, but I could get used to that. The deletion sound though, I really don't like that at all, not only is it loud, its very high pitched almost to the point of being painful.

Feasibility of adding opening question and exclamation marks in spanish, and Writing accented letters for adding words to the dictionary?
Gerardo Corripio <gera1027@...>
does Fliktype have a way as of yet, to write accented letters? for example, I’m wanting to add the musical group Maná to my dictionary, or if I’d want to add words with the ñ like niño, niña, mañana etc., how would is be done? Also among the punctuation suggestions in spanish, how hard/easy would it be to include open question or open exclamation marks, aside from the already-present closing question and exclamation marks? Oh and also for english, I can’t find the apostrophe+; I only seem to find the apostrophe+s, or a I missing somehting?

I use an iPhone SE. Trenton notices it too on his iPod Touch. I don’t know if it’s apple or what, but you’re supposed to be able to clear. iOS 11.3 btw is both of our operating systems. Beth

Re: Copy and clear on exit setting
Daniel McGee
I'm wondering if this could help for those who use the iPhone 10
Would the following work. 1 type your text in the FlickType app. 2 swipe up with two fingers to get to the menu. 3 finally, swipe with four fingers to another app and then try to paste your text in the app you desire. _____________________________ From: Alan Lemly <walemly@gmail.com> Sent: Friday, April 6, 2018 3:43 pm Subject: [flicktype] Copy and clear on exit setting To: <flicktype@groups.io> Hello List, Others might already be using the copy and clear on exit setting in FlickType but I wanted to recommend doing so for those who might not be. Kosta was kind enough to explain it to me in a beta support email exchange and I'm finding it very convenient. With this setting turned on, there is no need to return to the FlickType menu when you've finished typing with it. You simply go to the app where you want to paste your input and select paste when you're in the applicable text box. I use FlickType mostly for texting so I have my messages app running in the App Switcher and when I move to it and single finger double tap and hold in the text box, a paste button pops up that when double tapped will insert the FlickType text. When I return to FlickType in my App Switcher, it is clear and ready for more typing. So, this setting automatically does what the copy and clear menu item does when going to it from FlickType with a 2 finger swipe up. I just find this setting very handy and wanted to share with those who might not be aware of how it works. Happy FlickTyping. Alan Lemly

The notification issue sounds really annoying and we'd love to fix it. What device are you using? And does it happen every single time a notification arrives while you are using FlickType? - Kosta

intro and thoughts
Beth
Hi, all.
MY name is Beth Taurasi, and I've recently begun playing with the flicktype keyboard. I'd like to thank the devs for creating this group because you could get lots of suggestions and feedback for making your app better. Secondly, I'd like to say that I for the most part like flicktype, and want to play with it more. I honestly would love to see improvements though on the way it handles notifications, like when Trenton, who happens to live with me and test it on his iPod touch, sees notifications, the app goes bonkers. Translation? It crashes or closes or something weird. That's all I have to say. Other than that, I sent a text using flicktype to a friend, and he was amazed. Beth

Re: TestFlight process and issues
Brandon Cross <bcross3286@...>
It's pretty straightforward, you get the Test Flight app from the app
toggle quoted messageShow quoted text
store, go through its first time setup. You then apply for beta testing with whatever projects you wish via the means they've asked you to do so. Once you get an email from a project you've applied to test, there's a button in there, click the button, it goes right to Test Flight and you're good to go, hit download for the first time and that's it.

Typing with flicktype
After using FlickType on I pad, and I phone for over a week, I'm finding typing on I phone much faster than I pad.
