How do you use FlickType?
Hello everyone,
After a few hours of playing with FlickType I have found the best way, for me, to use this keyboard is to hold it between my hands in landscape mode, with my index fingers over the top, and I type with my two thumbs.
This allows me to hold the iPhone securely and type quickly. I
The only problem I had was inserting a new line, because to flick down with two fingers I had to change my grip, and the new line button on the lower right was a little too awkward for my aging thumbs.
But I found that I can flick down with both thumbs to get the same results.
The more I use this app, the better it gets!

Hi, how funny, I never thought to use it that way, but it makes sense. I just usually hold my phone in my right hand, and do one finger typing with my left. It is still much quicker than typing on the ordinary keyboard! :)

Hi everyone
Is anyone else experiencing different volume levels of the keyboard clicks while typing? The Keyboard goes loud and soft while typing a word.

Yes, mine seems to be fainter at the beginning of a new word.

So the Hello Address, is the General list?

        Hi Kosta and Ashley.
This is my first time being a beta tester for anything but, as a vision impaired former Flecksy user,  I am just so enthusiastic about flicktype that I wanted to get involved.
I have followed the recent beta versions from .28 to .32 and I welcome the increased options under settings.
In effect, when I sometimes, for example, type a three letter word and flick right, more letters are added instead of repeating the word I have chosen.
I am using both an SE with IOS 11.3 and an older iPad with ios 9.35.  The latter works well but there are some pronunciation issues obviously connected with it being so old.
I have noticed in the current beta a lack of sensitivity when flicking right, in that it sometimes types a letter instead of announcing the word.  This could, of course, be my error.  But it appears to happen quite a bit now and it never really did before, certainly not in Flecksy, or in the earlier betas .
It might be an idea to be able to turn the instructions option on or off in the menu.
To be honest , I don’t notice anything much of a diffdrence between the standard and alternative tap effects.  I think that allowing an on/off spelling option is an excellent idea, particularly when, like me, switching between the two languages.  My own preference here would be for the lower pitch.
I assume that, given the structure of Flicktype, it would not be possible to allow editing from beginning to end of a completed message/email or other document.  Obviously, one can read it using the word and character rotor options but not edit it, as far as I can gather.
I had some crash, and also mysterious switching into ios settings issues, on .28 but all is well since then.
But, all in all, I am absolutely delighted.

I'm finding the app is very slugish when typing since updating to the current build.

Kind regards,

Hi Paul,

Thanks very much for your message. Some of the issues you're mentioning like entering a 3 letter word, flicking right and more letters being entered, as well as the flick right generally adding more letters gives me the feeling there are accidental taps happening. If you feel like you're typing the same as always, my next thought is whether you've restarted your devices recently? Sometimes issues can occur over time and a restart can resolve them.

As for the sounds, we will continue to make adjustments and improvements as we progress with the development of the app. We hope to get to a point where people can find a sweet spot that works well for them.

You're correct about the current editing shortcoming but we are currently building cursor control that will launch at the same time as the system-wide keyboard as we find this to be a very important feature in creating a fully functional typing experience.

Please let us know if you think of anything else!
Ashley
