Re: Music stops when flick type keyboard is invoked.

Hello ,


I've noticed this too
Sent fro.m my iPho, when listening to podcasts, or any audio for that matter. This is definitely a serious bug, and should be fixed as soon as possible. This is just a thought, but maybe it has something to do with the voice feedback setting that can be enabled when voiceover is turned off.

Also, as I type, FlickType will randomly crash. I'm using an iPhone X, running iOS 11.4.1 e

when I do need to type I love the flicktype app.

Hello.

Today I started trying out flick type, I like it, but if I'm listening to
audio on my iPhone and I invoke the flick type keyboard, the audio stops.
Why is this so?

Typing speed, perspective of a person with very limited vision

Field, S. (Scott)
 

Hi

I have both Flicktype Beta as well as Fleksy installed as third party keyboards. 

I did a test this weekend to see which one I can type faster with. 

This test was done in a  quiet environment where it was easy to hear the voiceover feedback. 

The result is that Fleksy is still faster due to two reasons only.  FlickType is better than Fleksy in all other ways::

  1. As much as I have tried, I cannot type quickly with two hands in landscape or portrait mode, I get the “Letters lower case” message within the first few words I type.  Then I have to figure out which bit that I have typed is still there, clean it up and continue typing at a slower pace as to not get the “Letters lower case” message again.   A very simple fix for this would be to put an option in the settings to disable the two finger tap to change case.  There is after all an alternative option  available for most users, giving the option would be great.
  2. The dictionary in FlickType is a bit limited.  Some standard English words simply don’t get recognised by FlickType where they do in Fleksy. The most recent example I came across is “jamming”.  Is there a different dictionary used between the two apps.?  A  nice feature addition would be to allow one to slowly type out the unrecognised word and then flicking up with one finger to save that word to the dictionary as in the case of Fleksy, thereby ensuring that you only need to do this once for each particular word that is not recognised.  This would also be very useful for people’s names.

Yesterday I was in a noisy restaurant and found it was a pleasure to type out a short message using FlickType  as I could see the large typed words and didn’t need to read it back, that was the most pleasant experience I have had when typing out a message on my phone in a noisy area. 

The app is getting better with every release and it is clear that Kosta and Ashley are working hard to get it right for the blind and low vision community, the efforts are truly appreciated. 

Thank you

Scott field

Better word accuracy

Ken Clarkg
 

What I found myself doing was that I was misjudging the height of the keyboard, by that I mean when I thought I was typing letters on the top row I was on the middle row, I had to learn to type a little higher.

 I get excellent predictions when I use FlickType, but I really only type with my index fingers. Heh.

Thanks. I have tried to day to be more accurate and it definitely makes a difference. I guess knowing the screen fills the whole phone, not just bottom half has helped.

Hello,
Yes, the more accurate your tabs are the better the predictability.

Personally, when my predictability starts getting low, I concentrate on tapping more accurately. It always works!

Hello Al. I didn't notice this, maybe because I am French and do not use the app as much as you do, but I get the word I want almost on first position every time. I noticed though, that as the keyboard takes the entire screen, it is best to place your hand a little bit higher than you would do with the standard iOS Keyboard.
Hope this helps,

Re: Issue with the app.

Richard, thank you for reporting back. We're happy to learn this addressed your issue, and hopefully others can also benefit from this workaround - Kimberly we would love to hear if disabling Control Center worked for you as well.

We are always striving to make FlickType the best possible productivity tool. Sometimes iOS throws us curveballs and it's only with our users help that we often find ways to work around these issues. Let us know if there are any other issues we need to look into!

Warmly,
Kosta
Re: Issue with the app.

Ok I did what you suggested. I can now only launch control center from home screen. That seems to correct the problem.

Hi Richard,

As mentioned in our reply to your App Store review, we've only heard of this problem when people try to use the flick gestures instead of the dedicated buttons to exit the keyboard, and there's nothing we can do on our end to completely prevent this from happening in that case. If you do not need to access the control center from all apps, you could actually turn it off from the iOS Settings, and still be able to access it from the home screen. Here's a relevant article: https://www.engadget.com/2014/05/06/iphone-101-control-center-getting-in-the-way-heres-how-to-dis/

Hope this is helpful to you. If you can't turn off the control center and are still experiencing issues, we would be happy to learn more about the exact way you perform the explore gesture to find and activate the "Next Keyboard" or "Dismiss Keyboard" buttons, and we have some ideas on how we could figure this out together with a special build of FlickType that we can send you through TestFlight.

I’m using the iPhone 7 running the latest version of iOS and the latest FlickType build. The problem just happened to me again. I was in iMessage, flicked up to dismiss the FlickType keyboard, and the control center came up. I was unable to use the home button to dismiss flicktype. I had to do a series of holding down the power button, pressing the home key, and cussing to get anything to happen. Not sure exactly what eventually worked but I was able to bring up the app switcher, close out of everything, then reboot my phone. I love this app, and my hope is that fixing this problem will become an immediate priority, as I am afraid to use the FlickType app on lengthy documents or anything important.
