I don't believe such a clear text option exists. It really isn't needed since you can single finger swipe left as you would to delete the last word typed and simply leave your finger on the screen and FlickType will rapidly delete everything you've entered. Alan Lemly

Thanks costa,
Downgraded to previous build, but the keyboard clicks were still the same. It would be great if a setting could be added to make clicks loud or soft.

Latest build FlickType Keyboard, Version 0.1 (29) won't run on an iPhone 5
Daniel McGee
Can anyone confirm. When using an iPhone 5 the latest build from test flight FlickType is unable to run when the app loads?
I have already tried quitting from the app switcher and even restarting the 5. On both attempt, didn't work.

Re: New release: An entirely new sound treatment has arrived with build 29!
Daniel McGee
Hi Kosta & Ashley
Would it be possible to have a toggle for the pitch for spell words in settings? I have just updated to the latest build and liked how words were spelled out before. Its a hearing aid thing for me that's all. The lower the pitch the better. So how it was before the latest build was fine for me. Besides that, I don't mind the new sound effects. Actually find the tapping of the keys when typing to be quite a bit louder witch I consider to be a bonus for me. Thanks for redding and keep up the amazing work!

Re: Dictionary Word Requests and Mispronunciations`
Great app. Is there a way of distinguishing words with an apostrophe from ones that don’t? At the moment you can’t tell which one has been typed until you flick backwards. Dictionary suggestions are pronounced the same.

Email Operations for Changing Groups.io List Settings
I run another email list on Groups.io and based on the troubles Tony had
joining this list, I thought I'd recap the things you can do via blank emails sent to the correct address with a Groups.io subscription. Since this is the FlickType group, I'm using its name in the send to email addresses. Here is what you can do just by sending an email: 1. To subscribe: flicktype+subscribe@groups.io 2. To unsubscribe: flicktype+unsubscribe@groups.io 3. To get help: flicktype+help@groups.io 4. To go nomail: flicktype+nomail@groups.io 5. To go to digest delivery: flicktype+digest@groups.io 6. To go to full digest delivery: flicktype+fulldigest@groups.io 7. To return to single message delivery: flicktype+single@groups.io All of those send to addresses in the list above are live links and should open an email ready to send in your email client when executed.

Re: New release: An entirely new sound treatment has arrived with build 29!
Rocco Fiorentino
Hi all, loving the new release and FlickType in general; in fact, I'm using the app to type this message. I'm also extremely grateful for the amount of enthusiasm and responsiveness from the developers, I truly appreciate your passion for the app and user support. Having said that, I have a few general thoughts:
1. I love the new sounds. However, can there be a different sound other than the keyboard clicks for when a two finger swipe is performed to access the menu? Not a huge deal, but just food for thought. 2. Speaking of the menu, is the tap an hold gesture still supposed to exist to bring up the menu? I love the swipe up, but feel like it could get annoying for new users who may be manually trying to enter something and go outside the range of the keyboard. I only discovered this gesture by accident. 3. I like the announcement of contractions, but I wish only the's was announced because of VoiceOver's default lack of pronouncing it. I think words like I'm or aren't would be better pronounced normally, as before. Not sure if this makes sense? If I need to clarify please let me know. :) On another note, like others have mentioned, it took me a while to get groups. Io to cooperate and allow me to reply /post. I finally got it but not initially user friendly. I'll reply to that respective topic tomorrow. Thank you again for bringing this back and bringing a much needed typing revamp to iOS.

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.
