With the release of the iPhone in 2007, users no longer need to look at their phones' screens to text. Texting on an iPhone with a virtual keyboard is quite common by this year's standards. However, even people who used a smartphone without a physical keyboard back in 2005 were likely used to doing so. The goal of the Fleksy Ergonomic Keyboard is to alter texting habits by requiring a strict focus on the display. People must employ two fingers and keep their gaze locked onto the screen. Texting requires two hands and eyes focused on the screen. Fleksy Ergonomic Keyboard wants to update this by adding support for a textured keyboard. The keyboard's creator claims it can recognize words even when the user is missing many characters or typing off-screen. They claim this is because the keyboard adapts to every error mobile users experience. Verdelis proclaims that Fleksy Ergonomic Keyboard uses traditional methods such as contextualization and word frequency to recognize words. Additionally, the creator claims its keyboard can adapt to every error users make. In order to understand how keyboards work, Microsoft studied how words are typed on physical keyboards. Most alternative keyboard apps utilize this research to create their app.

Laptop keys such as F and J have small borders that make them easy to distinguish. These keys can help laptop users memorize their position, which is helpful for recalling the keys' location. Most laptops don't support touch keyboards; if one does, users need to look to know where their finger is located. Fleksy Ergonomic Keyboard's secret lies in the fact that it corrects the position of the keyboardist's hands and the letters they try to type by 10 pixels. This is achieved through analyzing data regarding word frequency, length and context. Blind people tested the Ergonomic Keyboard, which makes typing easier by allowing them to input text in any position. The app was created by developers last summer as a potential solution for the visually impaired. And many blind people found the app to be quite useful. Verdelis anticipates that the Fleksy Ergonomic Keyboard will revolutionize the way we interact with keyboards. Currently in the initial stages, Verdelis has formed partnerships with smartphone manufacturers in hopes of combining this application with the next generation of their devices. The keyboard serves as a replacement for traditional keyboards without demanding much effort on the part of its user. Instead, it offers predictions and suggestions while allowing text input without requiring any direct attention from the user. The application supports over 40 different languages and automatically detects and corrects spelling errors. Additionally, the application allows switching between languages while typing.
