Hey all. Just wanting to remind everyone that today on Accessibility Matters we talk to ashley and Kosta of the FlickType development team to talk about their app and how it got started. You can listen to it today at 11:00 am Central time on 95.9 CKUW and at ckuw.ca or as always you can join our WhatsApp group. The link is https://chat.whatsapp.com/6hVRrEBrvWS5tWdkcpKbpH

Feature suggestion - Automatic disabling of Zoom when using FlickType

Field, S. (Scott)
 

Hi

A suggestion to assist partially sighted users. 

When the FlickType keyboard opens, disable the IOS zoom, when the keyboard is dismissed, enable it. 

I don’t know if IOS allows this to be controlled via third party apps, but it would neatly solve the issue of FlickType being incompatible with the Zoom gestures. Zoom isn’t required when FlickType is on the screen anyway. 

Regards

Scott Field

Edit gestures

Field, S. (Scott)
 

 Hi

It would be great to add the edit options to the gestures by the usual voiceover gesteure of two fingers turning an imaginary dial.  Turn to get to edit, then flick up or down with one finger to move through the edit functions such as select, select all, copy, cut, paste, etc.  when in select, two fingers left or right select’s the word, three fingers left or right the remaining text in that direction. 

Furthermore, carrying on with the dial gesture concept, one could  include an entry that toggles the two finger swipe gesture between character, word, sentence and paragraph.  Suddenly FlickType would become a powerful document writing tool for the visually impaired. 

In the above scenario, the dial will have the options “Actions, edit and Movement Size (or something similar)” where actions is the standard FlickType set of one finger gestures for changing word, punctuation or emoji. 

Regards

Scott

There should be a way of toggling off two finger tap to switch between upper
case and lower case letters. If I type too fast with my two thumbs, the
toggle interacts negatively with typing.
Also is there a way to save words to the dictionary from the system
keyboard?

Re: Idea for Autocompletion Feature

Sieghard,

The way you described your vision of the autocomplete feature was exactly how I envisioned it. A few days ago I stopped by the Flicktype Web site only to discover that this feature was already suggested in exactly the way I envisioned it. <grin>

I think what the person who posted this suggestions invisions I sthat Voiceover would speak the suggestion/prediction and that if it is correct you simply flick right at that point to finish entering the word. I really like the suggestions in the iOS keyboard, but if they are shorter words it is often just as fast to finish typing the word than it is to touch the predictions and see if what you want is one of the 3 predictions given. If this could be made to work automatically so you just tap away and, if you hear a prediction that is the right one you can flick to enter it this could be pretty fantastic. You just have to get used to ignoring suggestions if they are not correct and simply continue to type.

 Hello, it seems to me that more time would be spent finding and entering the prediction than just typing with FlickType. 

 

 In the future, Kosta plans to implement the ability to use text replacements, so those commonly used phrases will insert with a possible minimum of three taps.

Hi.

I am wondering about the feasibility and potential usefulness of a predictive typing mode within Flicktype. I would envision this as an option as I could see some users finding a feature like this annoying, whereas I'm sure that other users, myself included, would find it of great value.

Essentially, this would work similar to the predictive typing feature that we already have with the standard iOS keyboard. Suppose, as an example, I'm writing the phrase "no problem." After typing the word "no" I would type pro and Flicktype would try to guess what I'm attempting to type, based on context. As I type "pro" I imagine Flicktype announcing "problem" If that's the word that I want, I would flick right to accept it. If I want to hear possible suggestions I would flick down to explore the list, as we already do when we've completed a word. Alternatively, I could just ignore the possibility which was offered and continue to type the rest of the word, as normal. I'm wondering if such a feature is worth pursuing? Is it even feasible and would others use it? Are there possible consequences resulting from this that I'm not foreseeing? I admit that such a feature could be chatty and, perhaps, more distracting than some users would like but I can also envision that we could have settings to control certain levels of verbosity such as a setting like "start providing suggestions after X letters have been entered" and perhaps adjustable pauses between the last entered key and the actual announcement of the first suggestion. This last idea would help fast typists not get interrupted. For me, this would make using Flicktype even faster.

Raúl Martínez
 

Hi guys,

As far as I know Spanish is also supported, no idea wether fully or partially. At least I can use it with more or less success. The keyboard display is the English one, though, lacking for example the letter ñ or a way to type diacritical symbols.

When you are typing in messages and you dismiss the keyboard, the send
button is in the bottom right. Thanks.

Hi Chris,

I have a 6S Plus and can confirm/reproduce this. If I type in a Message
field and dismiss Flicktype I have to explore the screen by touch, swiping
does not work and if I double tap again on the edit field Flicktype becomes
active again as a keyboard. If, however, I flick up and hold to change to
the iOS keyboard which then is on the screen I can swipe normally.

Hello,
I am new to the group and I am enjoying the system keyboard, but I have been
experiencing a few different things that I want to see if anyone else is
experiencing.
Now I am a voice over user and I am using an iphone 8.

First, in the messages app, after typing a message and dismissing the
keyboard, I am unable to swipe to either the edit field or send button. I
can only find them on the screen by exploring the screen with my finger.
And even after I find the edit field by exploring, I am still not able to
swipe from the edit field to the send button.

Second, sometimes after dismissing the keyboard, especially after writing in
the messages app, voice over acts funny and it seems that I lose some system
sounds, like the sound when the app switcher pops up. I restart voice over
and everything returns to normal.

Thanks,

Chris

Hi All,

I can confirm that I am having the same issue in messages. To prevent the frustration, I will change to the iOS keyboard. I am sure that Kosta will find a solution in the near future.

I too am having the first problem, but not the second. As for the problem in messages, I also use the flick up and hold gesture as a work around.

As Kosta stated, they are working on the half sized keyboard, for now finding the Send button by touch is not all that difficult and certainly an acceptable work-around.

Hi Chris,
I can definitely reproduce your first problem you mentioned. What I had to do was find the send button by exploring by touch. Or you can find the next keyboard button then you should be able to find the send button by swiping.
