FlickKey launched - 1st independent keyboard for Wear - no side loading required!



Just letting everyone know that FlickKey Keyboard for Wear was recently launched. It is the first independent keyboard for Android Wear. It is also the only fast and accurate keyboard for smartwatches - it does not need to rely heavily on disambiguation and autocorrection to work well.

FlickKey also does not need to be side-loaded. Just download it to try it. To send a message though, you need a supporting app. FlickKey for Wear is currently supported by three of the top messaging apps: Wear Messenger, Coffee - SMS for Wear, and K-9 for Wear. It is also free and simple to add FlickKey to any Wear app with just a few simple lines of code. (Email the support address for the code)

If you have not seen it, FlickKey solves the problem of typing on smartwatches through 6 "flick-able" keys. Just press and flick in the direction of an outside character. It works great on all touch screens - no special keyboard required for round watches. FlickKey also gives users multiple lines of editable text for a great messaging experience. Further, if you use voice input through FlickKey, you can edit, append, or add punctuation to the results - which is real nice.

Just search Google Play for "FlickKey Keyboard for Wear" if you would like to check it out, or add it to your app.
