Hi Scott,

Wondering if you need to unfortunately do a clean reinstall of iOS. I’m not seeing those focus issues in the latest version.

Also, does flicktype work for you in apps outside of WhatsApp? Like messages, etc.? What’s app does something strange in particular with flick type, that you may need to go into its settings and change the mode of flicktypefor it to work successfully within WhatsApp.

Hi Chuck

I often see your name coming to the rescue of many people with FlickType issues, your willness to assist others is commendable. 

I have tried with swipe to type on or off, I have tried auto correct on and off.  I think I have tried pretty much every combination of the various toggles on the keyboard settings.  I know when IOS14 first came out I heard complaints about FlickType battling with IOS 14 on podcasts, Applevis and here.  Then people seemed to get it resolved and it simply doesn’t work for me.  I also find that, outside of FlickType, my VO focus jumps around.  An example of this is if I go to the app store, go to the my account section and then go down to any app that needs to be updated or that has been updated.  It will read out the app and the brief description, then I should swipe right with one finger to get to the button that either says Open or Update.  Every single time I do the swipe right to get to the button, VO flicks to the button and straight back to the app name and description.  A repeat of the swipe and it will work. This will happen every time I try this.  There are numerous such examples that only appeared once I updated to IOS 14.  Maybe there is just something wrong with my phone as the jumping around in some places makes it completely unusable as the focus will stay in one place no matter what you do.  This clearly doesn’t happen to others or else it would be listed as an emergency bug on Applevis for example.  I can only assume my FlickType troubles are related to this. 

Thanks for the help ☺

hello Scott,

Please be sure you have a slide to type turned off. This keyboard and the Fliktype keyboard do not play well together.

Hi

Thank you for the information about the difference between direct touch and direct touch typing, this iwas new information to me.  I checked and all my apps on my phone are set to direct touch.  I found this in Settings>Accessibility>Voice Over>Rotor  Actions>Direct Touch. 

Since updating to IOS14 which I did when it first came out, I have been unable to use FlickType with VO on.  I have turned voice feedback on in FlickType and toggle VO off as soon as I need to type something.

I am completely at a loss as to why I experience this if others are finding it to work.  I mainly use whatsapp, Do other find FlickType with VO on to work in Whatsapp?  I can type the first word, but cannot swipe right with one finger to proceed to the next word without having to reengaging FlickType and even then the focus is all over the place.  I am using an iPhone 11.

Hi Benny. Direct Touch and Direct Touch typing are two different things. Direct Touch Typing is for the iOS keyboard and has nothing to do with Flicktype. Direct Touch is a new feature that Apple introduced in iOS 14 which allows Voiceover users to use self-voicing apps without having to turn Voiceover off. In iOS 14, Flicktype needs direct touch on to be able to work with your apps. You'll need to turn it on for every app you use Flicktype with. Hope that clears things up.

Hello Tony,

 

I think the main problem for me was going from iOS 13 to 14.4.2.  With iOS 13 I have not had the issue with having to activate direct touch typing with the rotor.  Also, when I updated to 14.4.2, slide to type was on and I think that created an issue as well.  I had to make sure full access was on for FlickType too.  In retrospect, I think it was an issue with about 3 different things.

 

full access needed to be turned on for FlickType

slide to type needed to be turned off

direct touch typing needed to be enabled on the rotor when VoiceOver and FlickType were active

These were the items that were causing me the problem.

Hi Benny,

 

When FlickType has VoiceOver focus, please try enabling Direct Touch from the rotor menu and see if that helps.

I have just updated to iOS 14.4.2 and I cannot get FlickType to work.  Whenever I get into an edit area, FlickType activates, but I cannot get it to enter any text.  As I move around the screen, all I get is feedback from each character as for example Cap A, Cap B and etc.  I uninstalled the app and downloaded it again, but the same thing occurs.  It is totally useless as is.  Any suggestions?  Thanks.

Hello Tony,

 

I think the main problem for me was going from iOS 13 to 14.4.2.  With iOS 13 I have not had the issue with having to activate direct touch typing with the rotor.  Also, when I updated to 14.4.2, slide to type was on and I think that created an issue as well.  I had to make sure full access was on for FlickType too.  In retrospect, I think it was an issue with about 3 different things.

 

1. full access needed to be turned on for FlickType
2. slide to type needed to be turned off
3. direct touch typing needed to be enabled on the rotor when VoiceOver and FlickType were active

These were the items that were causing me the problem.
