Actually, touch typing on Fleksy is faster than on the standard keyboard. We reduced the lag time required to input letters from .5 seconds to .35. Plus, you only need to input those terms once.
I used incorrect terminology. With the on screen keyboard I am able to drag a finger around until I hear the letter I want announced, then with another finger tap the top half of the screen to enter that letter. It is much more efficient then touch typing with either Fleksy or touch typing with the standard keyboard.
Was responding to the second issue: "The second issue is the inefficiency of entering custom words". On that front Fleksy is the same or faster than the standard iOS keyboard.
I think he's suggesting that for "custom words" flesky autocorrects to the wrong words, whereas the standard keyboard doesn't - thus leading to longer input times under flesky ... at least until it learns those words.
Thanks for the feedback guys, feel free to send anything else you might have for us at feedback@fleksy.com
We want to make Fleksy as good as it can possibly be.
Have you considered Android? You could actually integrate your app as a replacement for a real keyboard, rather than the second rate experience that is possible on IOS.
