Fleksy 2.0 Features New Engine, Layout And Features For More Flexible Typing
December 2, 2013
Fleksy, the predictive text input app that works amazingly well for both visually impaired and sighted users, has just been updated to version 2.0.
Fleksy 2.0 boasts a completely reworked engine that makes for a markedly improved user experience. It also introduces a new layout that's being tested for sighted users.
The new layout includes a space bar, which may be tapped instead of flicking right for making a space between words. If you wish to work sans space bar, just flick down with two fingers to hide it. You can also go further and flick down with two fingers one more time to hide the entire keyboard and type with an invisible one. To bring the keyboard back, just flick up with two fingers.
