[nfbwatlk] Fleksy

[Mike Freeman]

Fleksy is an iPhone app that essentially allows you to peck away on the
iPhone screen as if it's a keyboard and the program does predictive coding
of what it thinks you're writing. It's uncannily accurate and when it
guesses the wrong word, you have a choice of words to put in place of the
erroneous guess or you can enter the word letter-by-letter to ensure
accuracy.

This allows someone who's good at it to type on the i-device considerably
faster than the standard typing or touch-typing modes Apple has implemented
-- often one can type nearly as fast as a sighted person. There are still
times when those modes are useful but for somewhat long-winded messages,
once one gets used to Fleksy, it's a godsend.

Mike, what is a Fleksy? I have not heard of this device.
