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.

Hi all,

We recently crossed 500 beta testers, and it won't be long before we hit a thousand or more. This poses some significant challenges when it comes to iterating fast on the app, while ensuring that no critical bugs make it to such a large group of users. Even though the app is still very much in beta, we want our testers to be using it as a daily tool that they can rely on, and we don't want to become more risk-averse in how we develop the app.

To this end, we are introducing a new "alpha" program. The idea is to have a smaller group of users who are willing to receive more frequent, and sometimes less polished versions of the app, and based on their feedback, builds that are deemed acceptable will then be pushed to the wider beta group which could eventually, and hopefully, number thousands of people.

If you are interested, the only thing you need to do is just let us know and we will add your email to the internal Alpha group. Everything else will be the same, including how you get builds from TestFlight. There is nothing else that you need to do on your end. We might create a special sub-group in the mailing list to gather all feedback from the alpha group there, rather than have everyone be notified about messages relating to builds that they can't yet get. We do want the alpha discussion to be done in the open though, so everyone can read about it and anticipate what's coming. More details on how to submit alpha feedback will be coming soon.

Thank you for your incredible help and support so far, you guys have been awesome!

I'm not too thrilled with the read back of all punctuation and symbols. It
seems too verbose if you have a lot of them. I would think the spell words
setting would suffice for those that want to hear all punctuation and
symbolsread back. I noticed that when you bring up the menu the read back
that occurs then does not read all punctuation and symbols. Could we have
a
toggle to turn on and off all the punctuation and symbols read back?



Also, I noticed that when you have a number that might have a decimal
within
it and you swipe right, the read back is only the numbers after the
decimal.
It seems it would be more accurate for the read back to be all the numbers
and symbols in the string just type. For example: $25.55

Right now the read back is "55". It would seem to be more appropriate for
the read back to be "twenty five dollars and fifty five cents".



Just my thoughts. I'll keep checking it out. Thanks.

Yes, we have this in our plans and will be moving our roadmap over to the wiki today so you can have access to this information. You'll be able to find the wiki here: https://groups.io/g/flicktype/wiki/home

Maria,

I don't believe such a clear text option exists. It really isn't needed
