Chuck Dean
Hello everyone, I updated to ios 14.4 which seems to have fixed the direct touch issue with Flicktype. It took about 15 minutes to update. Good luck, Chuck (mobile) Pleez x cuze enny tie ping or spelin air ores.

I had to set the direct touch with the rotor once when I sent my first email, but it has been working fine since. Chuck (mobile) Pleez x cuze enny tie ping or spelin air ores.

Has anyone been able to use Flicktype with their watch as of 7.3? I can’t figure it out.

I'm using Flicktype on an IPhone 10 r, and I've found that Flicktype loses focus a lot. It also doesn't seem to say the words when I flick back to delete them. I'll see if using the app in Full screen mode, or one of the other modes makes any kind of difference. kind of difference. :)

Hello Gina, If you are using FlickType in the native mail app, these kind of problems are inherent, and Kosta has not been able to fix them. It has something to do with the new construction of the mail app by Apple, and Fliktype and Apple‘s iOS mail client does not play well together. You shouldn’t have these problems in other applications such as messages. Chuck (mobile) Pleez x cuze enny tie ping or spelin air ores.

That’s too bad. If one can’t rely on the keyboard working properly maybe its time to revert back to the standard keyboard. Flicktype was a nice advance for blind individuals but it does take a lot of support effort to keep these apps running as each new version of the OS and apps come out. Not an easy task and we’re a very small community of users.
I would love to see apple pick up the flicktype paradigm for it’s own keyboard since, when working properly, it is very easy and efficient to use for blind folks. But I wouldn’t hold my breath. Kosta is only one person and eventually one has to move on.

Chuck: Thanks so much for replying. I thought I was doing something wrong. I'm not at all giving up on the app by any means. :-)

I did notice that the app was super snappy once downloading it again, so that was quite exciting.

Hi Gina, When I want to compose an email, I can post it in the FlickType container app, and then close the app, and then paste it into the message body of the email I want to send, or reply to. Works pretty good, only a couple more movements. Chuck (mobile) Pleez x cuze enny tie ping or spelin air ores.

I'd recommend folks try Outlook for iOS as their primary mail app. I switched to it when the main Apple Mail app couldn't keep focus on a message in iOS 13.X and I've never regretted the move. The Direct Touch issue also seems resolved in iOS 14.4 with
Outlook for iOS.

Hi,

I’m not sure who to report this to, but if you want to use the outlook app, and have an Apple Watch, be aware that when you get a notification on your watch, voiceover won’t read it. The way I get around this, is to dismiss the notification, by pressing the digital crown, then going to the notification center, to check it.
