Fleksy Is an Alternative Keyboard Even the Blind Can Use

iOS: Fleksy is an alternative keyboard with unprecedented predictive text skills. You can type a word completely wrong and it'll still figure out what you meant.

That's because Fleksy was designed with the blind in mind. The keyboard not only fixes your grievous typing errors, but speaks back the word to you so you know what it thinks you typed. The keyboard only consists of letters, however. To make a space you swipe right. To delete a word you swipe left. You can add punctuation by pressing and holding the keyboard to reveal a new row, or you can just make two spaces to create a period, then swipe down to change it to a question mark, exclamation point, or something else. While Fleksy takes a little getting used to at first, it's a very effective way to type because you can throw accuracy out the window pretty much entirely. The only thing it does require is that you know how to spell, otherwise it can't really figure out what you meant. If you're blind or just an awful mobile typer but have good spelling skills, this is the keyboard for you. Of course, it's an app an doesn't integrate full with the OS but you can use it to type out messages and copy/paste the text in elsewhere with all the extra time you'll save.
