'''Fleksy''' is a third-party, proprietary [[virtual keyboard]] app for [[Android (operating system)|Android]] and [[iOS]] devices (needs to be checked, Google Play Store and the Apple App Store no longer feature this application). It attempts to improve traditional [[typing]] speed and accuracy through enhanced [[Autocorrection|auto-correction]] and [[Gesture recognition|gesture]] controls. Fleksy uses [[Error detection and correction|error-correcting algorithms]] that analyze the region where the user touches the keyboard and feed this through a [[language model]], which calculates and identifies the intended word. Swiping gestures are used to control common functions, such as space, delete, and word correction. |
