Do you know if you can change any speech settings in Fleksy such as typing echo or something? As it is right now mine only speaks words after having typed them and then it's too late to change. I made a total mess on Facebook today trying to type with Fleksy. /Krister > 19 sep 2014 kl. 01:03 sk

Seems to be a hybrid of the two, so tap the right character and it is done. If you drag around like I do, you'll still have to tap it when you find it. I'll stick to touch typing I think. R. - Original Message - From: "Eugenia Firth" To: Sent: Wednesday, September 17, 2014 11:08 PM S

Just to add another perspective to this discussion, I sort of like direct touch typing. And I think it'll be very fast once one gets used to it, especially in combination with the predictive typing. Just my $.02, but I'm going to use it for a while and see how it goes. Cheers, Donna On Sep 17,

Sounds like the bug in Fleksy makes using it absolutely pointless isn't the whole idea of having it work in all apps so you do not have to toggle between apps to use it? Why in the world would I want to toggle VoiceOver on and off to use it. I usually upgrade right away but hearing about the dia

You have to enable speech in Fleksy and turn off VO for Fleksy to work. It's awkward because it leaves you no way to switch to another keyboard or read anything while you type. On 9/17/14, Jenine Stanley wrote: > Buddy, so glad you're having trouble also with Fleksy. I thought I'd lost my > mind

Hi, Direct touch typing works like this. And it took me a while (and someone else's explanation) to fully understand it. If you've got a *really* good grasp on the keyboard, or have some usable vision, it might be great. Essentially, when you tap a key, the key types. And by 'tap", I mean a r

Hi Gigi. I think from what I've heard in the Diphone list, when direct typing is enabled, Voiceover won't wait until you lift your finger to type a character. I don't think I'll use it because I make a lot of mistakes. Lol. Shawn Sent From My White MacBook > On Sep 17, 2014, at 5:08 PM, Eugenia
