Inspired to eliminate typing frustrations, Fleksy is a keyboard application technology for touch screen devices that allows users to type without looking on the screen. Fleksy has been developed to be extremely accurate in predicting any users’ typing; so much that blind and visually impaired users can type four to five times faster on their devices. Using Syntellia's proprietary and patent pending technology for text entry, developed in-house from the ground up, the system does not require the user to accurately press the buttons on the screen, rather tap where they think each letter is. Fleksy analyzes a wealth of data of a user’s typing and thus detects the correct word to input. Available on iOS and Andriod.
