What we believe
- Letters where you know them, flicks for the rest. The QWERTY letters stay put. Capitals, digits and deleting are a flick or a swipe, not another button squeezed onto a small screen.
- Your typing never leaves the phone. Every typing feature runs on the phone itself, and voice typing uses the speech recognition on the phone. If a feature would have to send your text somewhere, such as translation, Flikzi doesn’t have it.
- Calm at the keys, playful at the edges. The keys stay legible and fast; the personality lives around them.
- Honest claims only. We say what the app verifiably does, and we say what it doesn’t do.
How Flikzi is built
Flikzi is a native Android app. Its autocorrect and suggestions are our own code, working from word lists that come from the Android Open Source Project’s keyboard dictionaries and from sentence collections such as Tatoeba. Its pinyin engine comes from the Android Open Source Project too, released under the Apache License 2.0, which we adapted to run inside Flikzi. Japanese conversion uses the open-source dictionary of Google’s Mozc, Traditional Chinese uses OpenCC’s tables, and emoji data comes from Unicode. Voice typing uses the speech recogniser that Android runs on the phone. Everything else ships inside the app. Open-source licences and credits.
Where things stand
Flikzi is on Google Play as a free download, for Android phones, foldables and tablets. Flikzi Pro, an optional one-time purchase of US$4.99 before tax, adds every language, the split keyboard, voice typing, the clipboard keys, a clipboard history and text shortcuts, with 14 days free on every new install.
