Never mind the war between Swype and SwiftKey, there's a new Android keyboard app in town that's vying to become the essential standard for typing text on your smart phone. Called Fleksy, its developers claim it is "so intuitive it can be used without even a glance at a screen." Fleksy formally exits beta today as it enters general availability for all Android phone and tablet users.
Fleksy is a hybrid input system that combines tap-based typing with screen gestures used for frequently-used characters. Rather than hit the space bar to enter a blank space, for example, users can flick the screen to the right to go on to the next word. This is especially helpful when trying to type on very small screens like those on smart watches. A shrunken version of the Fleksy keyboard can be used without having to dedicate a row of buttons for the space bar and various punctuation marks.
