Type, Swipe, Done: Meet FloType!

On today's episode of Tech Connect, your favorite AT Specialists: Cory and Luke from Vision Forward, are excited to showcase an alternative virtual keyboard for your iPhone called FloType!

We encourage all our fellow Tech Connecters to join us in conducting their own tests of this beta version of FloType which is available for download though the Apple TestFlight App. https://testflight.apple.com/join/dhcfFwK8

Those of you who have experience with the Fleksy App will find that FloType solves a similar problem. The goal of both systems being to provide low vision and blind smartphone users with a better keyboard option for those instances when they do not wish to dictate their words.

Through a combination of alternative gestures and predictive completion, FloType aims to improve smartphone typing speed and word accuracy for its users. But the real question is how intuitive is FloType? And does it really make you faster or more accurate? Join us and find out!
