Fleksy Keyboard App Now Available on Google Play, Updates Beta with Multiple Language Support

/in , /by


San Francisco (PRWEB) December 05, 2013

Fleksy, the future text input company, today launched the Android version of its virtual keyboard out of beta on Google Play. The company also released a new Android app in beta to support new languages, as well as released a major iOS update in its race to be the first third-party keyboard on the Apple platform.

Available on Google Play for $ 3.99 with a 30-day free trial, Fleksy lets individuals type faster than any other virtual keyboard by not having to concentrate on hitting specific keys that are often too small for their fingers. Through a set of patent-pending Artificial Intelligence algorithms, Fleksy looks at the relative locations its users touch the screen, and interprets the word they want to type. This approach frees users to type without having to look at the screen, ultimately letting them type faster than they would otherwise. This unique approach is what allowed Fleksy to be the first virtual keyboard to work on a smartwatch, the Omate TrueSmart, which has an even smaller touchscreen surface area than smartphones.

Fleksy also released today a new version of its Android beta that supports new languages. Additionally, Fleksy made a recent update to its iOS app in preparation for the upcoming Fleksy SDK release. The new update includes a faster engine, new user interface and an option to minimize the keyboard or have it completely invisible. The upcoming SDK release will allow iOS developers to implement Fleksy in their app, allowing users to replace the standard iOS keyboard for the first time.

“When we started Fleksy we wanted to bring the best typing experience to all smart devices with a touchscreen,” said Kosta Eleftheriou, Fleksy founder and CEO. “Our team has been working extra hard to get to this moment. Exiting beta, launching the new languages and preparing for our iOS SDK puts us in a great position to accomplish our vision on both Android and iOS.”

Fleksy can be downloaded on Google Play here and the App Store here. Individuals interested in joining the Android beta to test the new languages can do so here. Developers interested in learning more about Fleksy’s SDK should contact the company here.

About Fleksy

Fleksy revolutionizes typing on smart devices through patent-pending predictive text technology that works on all device sizes. Fleksy is the first keyboard app to be demonstrated on a 3D gesture system (Leap Motion); the first to be demonstrated on a smartwatch (Omate) and the first to arrive to iOS. Fleksy’s award-winning design and technology is backed by venture capital firms like Highland Capital Partners and Kleiner Perkins Caufield & Byers.

Goldman Sachs Finds More Unwanted Publicity in Gupta Case

‘Relevant’ Information

In the SEC lawsuit, Gupta’s lawyers have said that Blankfein, Chief Financial Officer David Viniar, President Gary Cohn, Loeb and retiring Lead Director John Bryan may have information “relevant” to the defense. Another possible witness is Goldman Sachs director Claes Dahlback, a former CEO of Sweden’s Investor AB, who was interviewed by the government, prosecutors told a judge in January.

Naftalis declined to comment on his possible witnesses.

Goldman Sachs’s relationship with Galleon may also come into view. Gupta is alleged to have tipped Rajaratnam in 2007 after listening to a Goldman Sachs board meeting while at Galleon’s offices. Jurors may hear that Goldman Sachs routinely catered lunch for Galleon traders, as the bank did for other big clients, according to an ex-Galleon employee who declined to comment publicly.

Anthony Sabino, a lawyer and professor at the Peter J. Tobin College of Business at St. John’s University in New York, said the publicity will sting even if it doesn’t cost the firm business.

“If you want to do a deal these days in the U.S., you go to Goldman, you go to Morgan Stanley,” he said in a telephone interview.

“But when you have multiple instances, then people may say it’s indicative of a lack of internal controls or a permissiveness that lets this thing go on. It’s a slap in the face to management.”

‘Pickup Basketball’

Ronn Torossian, CEO of 5WPR LLC in New York, which has done work for Coca-Cola Co. (KO) (KO) and McDonald’s Corp. (MCD) (MCD), said Goldman Sachs should move quickly to reclaim its reputation.

The company should stress to the public that recent events involve just a few of its 32,000 employees and that it demands that all employees act ethically, he said. Workers must be “completely above-board,” he said, not even “cheating in their pickup basketball games.”

“Any time you have a stellar firm like that and the words ‘insider trading’ next to it — you start to wonder how long does it go, how much more is there?” he said in a telephone interview. “It’s hard to distance yourself from crisis.”

A lot of us do not want season change, which is why many people usually migrate from one place to another just to prevent bad weather on the place that they were in. If you use to live in a tropical place and enjoy the weather, there are people who use to migrate from snowy area to tropical place.

Once the month of winter comes, many people are preparing to move their family in a warm place, they are called snowbirds that move out of their place and look for a place that is warm enough for their family. Travelling from a snowy place is very hard especially if the road is zero visibility and driving your own car on these roads is dangerous due to some accidents that might happen. Basically, people who want to transfer their family in a warm place usually do prepare one month ahead before the change of season, they arrange the place that they will move in and things that they need while travelling.

And to avoid driving in a snowy and zero visibility road, most of them usually consider auto transport company in shipping their cars on the place that they will stay for the rest of winter season. Of course they need means of transportation on that place to lessen daily transportation need while winter is still on. There are lots of people who usually make an arrangement to auto transport company and search for cheaper auto transport quotes to help them save money.
