Flow Typing and Voice Commands

Control Fluid with you mind... or at least your voice.

Flow Typing

Flow Typing is designed to get around the issues of slow and clunky floating keyboards by allowing to say what you want to type.

How can I use Flow Typing?

With your dominant hand, pinch and hold inside of a part of a website you would typically type into. Say what you want to type, then release the pinch. Watch your words appear!

Voice Commands

Voice Commands are triggered with the "peace sign" hand gesture. The following are examples of currently working commands. We will add more over time. Do the peace sign with either hand, speak, and then stop doing to peace sign. This can be used alongside Flow Typing for even more control.
