Flicktype and the Uber app.

Christopher Sims <cjsims@...>
 

Hi.

Firstly, I love your app, and Use it all the time. Making you aware that it would appear as if there is a likely issue with the Uber chat part of the app. While your keyboard is working to compose the message to my uber driver, the issue comes when I dismiss the keyboard. I'm unable to locate the send button using voiceover. This happens no matter if I am exploring by touch or flicking. I am able to locate it if I go back to the standard keyboard then the send button appears. Please could you try and see if you are able to reproduce this? I look forward to this being fixed.
Kind regards, Christopher Sims

The only time I would ever disable VO would be if a sighted person were doing something with my phone.  I sometimes turn off speech, as in when I’m readingwith a voiced app  or listening to music and don’t want to hear notifications, but VO is of course still enabled.

I have noticed that the half screen keyboard seems to slightly lag in its response. I have to be careful to actually press the screen relatively firmly rather than just being able to tap quickly like I would with the Apple keyboard or with the old fleksy.

With the half screen keyboard on my brand new iPad running iOS 12 beta, the keyboard does not display properly. The lower two rows are about an inch high while the top row has only about a quarter of an inch visible. This means that if letters are set to show, the top row of letters are not displayed as they are up off screen. On my iPad, I tend not to use VoiceOver much, as I have a very narrow tunnel of vision which works ok with larger text sizes, so I would love a toggle in settings so I could keep all letters on keyboard displayed as capital letters, rather than them changing to displaying as lower case after the first couple of taps. Would that be possible?

New App Store version 2.6

FlickType
 

Please always restart your device after updating FlickType, and send all your feedback to hello@flicktype.groups.io. Thank you!
What's new:
- New half-screen, direct-commit mode where all text changes are instantly reflected in the current text field. This currently only works for non-VoiceOver users due to iOS limitations, but we are still looking for ways to bring it to VoiceOver users as well.
- The "Next keyboard" key and setting will be hidden on devices that have a dedicated, always-present "Next keyboard" key (such as the iPhone X), or if FlickType is the only keyboard in the keyboard list.
- Bugfixes.

Previously:
- Reading back your text with a 3-finger press can now also be done with 2-fingers. This should also allow Accessibility Zoom users to utilize this feature, which previously conflicted with the zoom gestures.
- Words will now also be spelled after moving the cursor.
- Added voice feedback when VoiceOver is disabled.
- Add setting to toggle "Voice Feedback", enabled by default.
- You can now use your existing iOS text replacement shortcuts with FlickType. Configure text replacements from iOS Settings, General, Keyboard, Text Replacement. If you tap-type the shortcut, it will automatically be expanded into its phrase. If you type it accurately by touch-typing each letter, you'll need to flick down to expand it. Replacement shortcuts can only contain letters, but expanded phrases can be anything, including numbers, symbols, spaces, and even emoji. Be creative, smile! Please note: the replacements don't work inside the container app due to iOS limitations.

Thank you for supporting FlickType, and please tell your friends if you are enjoying it!

Warmly,
Kosta and Ashley

Like Chuck, I turn off VoiceOver when the app is not accessible such as an introductory tutorial is an image and I need to go to the last page to continue to the app or etc. I also turn off voiceover if there is a graphic item that needs to be tapped on, which is by trial and error if it will work. In the MBraille app, I turn off VoiceOver because there is a self-voicing feature that is more responsive in using the app.

Dear FlickTypers,

We are looking to improve aspects of FlickType for those of you who are low-vision but do not always use VoiceOver. If that sounds like you, please let us know if you would like to be added to a new small group of users who will automatically get earlier builds, and provide us feedback for low-vision features like visual announcements, keyboard and character visual indicators, high-contrast color pairs, and more. And if you know someone else who might find this useful, we would be happy to add them to the group as well.

Thank you for your continued support! ☺️

I turn on voiceover mostly on my. iPhone (rather than iPad) because I can rarely get the text large and bold enough for me to read.

Re: One time purchase option

Ken Clarkg
 


 My thoughts on the one time fee, I have bought to many apps and then after a little while their gone. Was that they ran out of money to continue, where a monthly fee would have helped them. I could see a yearly fee that way this great app won't fall by the wayside. That way you would get charged once a year, and they would have money to work with ☺️

I agree, an annual subscription option would also be my preference. I hate this for my additional iCloud storage, both my wife and I have an extra 50Gb and we use the same Visa so every month I have 2 transactions for $1.35 (that is here in Canada), then I have our monthly Apple Music Family subscription, now the Flicktype… Yes, I could buy an iTunes gift card and load it up, probably should do that, then I won’t see all those charges on my credit card for a while.

Well while I understand that the one Life time payment option fee is not doable. Why not have  an annual renewal for $12 option. For example, I have to renew my tune in premium, VPN, at bat, dropbox, and iTunes match only once a year. This monthly for the renewal is exactly what I don’t like about my Amazon premium, Iheart, and Spotify subscription monthly renewal. I much rather be bugged once a year then be bug once a month. What’s the difference between paying $.99 per month and $12 annually? All  you would need to do is send out an  email that would tell you this subscription is about to expire in if you want to keep it do nothing or don’t want it any more cancel it Or if possible have it both ways. This is just my $.99 worth. Every country has an identity, history, custom, and culture. It’s a unique landscape in determining how its people Live, work, and play.

Hello, in order to maintain funding for continuing support and developments of the FlickType keyboard a ninety nine cent a month subscription seems to be the best option. 

 A one time purchase price would need to be so high it would make the app unafforadable for most people.

Hi, I was wondering if you guys could maybe consider adding a one time purchase option to unlock the keyboard?  My seven day free trial has expired and I can’t use the keyboard as a consequence.  Thanks for reading and developing this otherwise great app
