/in , /by


San Francisco (PRWEB) December 12, 2013

Fleksy, the future text input keyboard app, is excited to announce the first group of iOS applications to roll out updates that allow users to select (or download) the Flesky keyboard as their primary option. Using the new Flesky SDK, Wordbox, GV Connect, Launch Center Pro and Blindsquare now offers users a choice of which keyboard to use when engaging with their apps.

With the Fleksy SDK, any developer can now implement an alternative keyboard option in their app, and customers can benefit from a choice in text input technologies. The first four apps with Fleksy released updates today in the App Store and are immediately available to download.

“With Fleksy, we can now provide a unique user experience and powerful artificial intelligence for one of the most important aspects of Launch Center Pro: typing,” said David Barnard, founder of Contrast. “Fleksy makes text input easier for our customers, and we are excited to be working with Fleksy on such an innovative solution.”

Kosta Eleftheriou, CEO of Fleksy said: “We are excited to be able to innovate in the text input space with our technology, and, for the first time in the keyboard space, provide a product for both major mobile platforms. We are excited to announce our first partnerships today, and for further announcements in the weeks and months to come.”

Fleksy’s award winning keyboard has had over half a million users on iPhone, iPad and iPod touch and continues to be the most innovative and complete solution on the market.

The Fleksy App can be downloaded on the App Store here. Developers interested in learning more about Fleksy’s SDK should contact the company here.

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.
