Fleksy vs MessagEase

The most unique aspect about Fleksy is it's gesture system. The middle row of keys that is grayed out serves as the gesture row. The gesture row uses swipes to input spaces, periods, and correction all while you are typing. Of course this new way of typing will definitely take some to get used to.

The Fleksy experience from the opening tutorial to the design of the keyboard is extremely well developed and very modern. Almost all reviews note the appearance as one of it's best features.

Like other alternative keyboards Fleksy can personalize your predictions based on your social media, Gmail, SMS, and device dictionary.

The Fleksy themes can be changed in the look feel section of the settings.

Fleksy uses a very accurate auto correct that has allowed the app to break the speed typing record on a mobile keyboard as well as allow users to type without even looking at the screen.

Fleksy is completely private and never mines people personal data - www.fleksy.com/privacy/

Fleksy is made by the creators of the alternative keyboard BlindType that was acquired by Google. As a result many of the technologies developed in BlindType are reinvented in Fleksy. The combination of accurate prediction and gestures allow you to focus on the text you are actually typing not the keyboard.

Fleksy has a very smooth keypress.

Fleksy is able to offer a "mini" sized keyboard that is shorter in height because the whole row of keys with the spacebar is hidden. Fleksy is able to do this because spaces, periods, and corrections can all be performed with simple gestures. "Mini" mode can be accessed at any time by swiping the keyboard down with two fingers. "Mini" mode saves critical screen real estate.

Fleksy broke the world record by typing "The razor-toothed piranhas of the genera Serrasalmus and Pygocentrus are the most ferocious freshwater fish in the world. In reality they seldom attack a human."

The record holder typed this message in just 18.19 seconds, beating the old record by 1/4 of a second.

Extensions enable user to customize the keyboard according to their need.

Fleksy features over 800 emoji that the user can use when typing.

Fleksy has an extension that makes the whole keyboard transparent, useful when you can already blind type with it.

Fleksy is able to be installed on Gear 2 watches, making for a whole new way to type to ones phone or tablet.

Offers strong auto-correct in a lot of languages.

Your hand(s) will memorize the gestures and soon you will reduce the information displayed (some make it blank). The number of combinations of the gestures allows a direct access to nearly all usual symbols (punctuation, accented letters, etc.).

This keyboard has up, down, right, left, copy, paste, select all, hide keyboard, tab. And they're all one swipe on the main screen. And you can easily type things that usually require either a bunch of shifts, or are impossible, like ôǒöòó¿¡°[]{}1¹2²3³.

Macros: define frequently typed sentences associated to an abbreviation. Type the abbreviation, the macro is listed in the word prediction area.

Tap-Drag-Go: on a gesture (hold on Num key, Tap), it displays icons on which you can move (Drag) and release (Go). It inserts a predefined sentence, like macros, but with a faster, more visual interface.

Clipboard: cut, copy, paste, select all Android commands available with a swipe. It has a memory of the last 10 clipboard contents.

Editing keys: swiping on the space bar allows to move the caret left, right, up or down. Swipe and return move by word. Swipe and return on the backspace key allows to delete a word on left or right.

You can choose your color (can depend on language), the rounding of keys, the position of characters, the size and disposition of the keyboard, etc.

Keyboard layouts are adapted to each language, as they are based on the frequency of letters in this language.

Beside, it allows reconfiguration of the keys to better fit your preferences.

It also has good word prediction / correction.

You can configure several keyboard configurations (advice: better stick to one, the one you will use the most, as speed is based on hand memory) and several dictionaries, and you can switch with a simple gesture.

Because the buttons are big, it's easy to type with one hand while holding it. That is, unless you have a giant phone or tablet. There aren't many keyboards that you can easily type with one hand unless it's lying flat.

Including iPhone, smartwatches, car navigation systems, etc.
