Fleksy is a technology company.
Fleksy develops sophisticated virtual keyboard technology designed to enhance typing speed and accuracy across digital platforms. Its core offering leverages advanced error-correcting algorithms, intuitive gesture controls, and AI-powered features like Fleksynext. The company primarily provides its technology as a Software Development Kit (SDK), enabling developers to integrate robust and customizable text input solutions into diverse applications.
The company, Fleksy Inc., was founded in 2011 by Kostas Eleftheriou, Olivier Plante, and Francisco Jose Garcia. The initial insight focused on enabling precise typing for the blind and visually impaired, which led to the development of highly tolerant error-correction capabilities. This foundational work underscored the potential for accessible and efficient text input for all users.
Fleksy's SDK is adopted by businesses and developers in diverse fields, including healthcare, productivity, generative AI, augmented reality, and cybersecurity. The company's vision is to democratize access to language input technologies, empowering a broad spectrum of applications with intelligent and adaptable typing solutions for future digital interactions.
Fleksy has raised $9.2M across 5 funding rounds.

Fleksy is a technology company specializing in virtual keyboard solutions, providing customizable Software Development Kits (SDKs) for text input across mobile apps and platforms.[1][2][5] It serves developers and enterprises in sectors like healthcare, AR/VR, generative AI, banking, cybersecurity, and logistics, solving challenges in typing speed, accuracy, security, and accessibility through features such as predictive text, autocorrection, swipe input, and intent-aware AI.[1][2] With $8.32M raised and headquartered in London, Fleksy has shifted from a consumer app to a B2B model, powering white-label keyboards for secure, personalized experiences in high-stakes industries.[1][2]
Fleksy was founded in 2011 by Fleksy Inc. as a virtual keyboard app originally designed for the blind and visually impaired, enabling typing via muscle memory to improve accessibility.[2][6] It launched commercially on iOS in 2012, gained traction with features like Fleksyapps (mini-programs) and Fleksynext (AI smart assistant), and expanded to Android.[2] Key pivots included acquisition by ThingThing Ltd. in 2018, a Crowdcube crowdfunding campaign that summer, preinstallation on Palm devices, and a 2019 entry into healthcare for passive digital phenotyping.[2] By 2020, Fleksy fully transitioned to B2B with its SDK launch, secured Series A funding from Inveready in 2021 ($8.32M total raised), released a developer platform in 2022, and expanded into field mobility and cybersecurity by 2024 via an Innovate UK grant.[1][2]
Fleksy rides the wave of AI-driven personalization and secure input demands in an era of generative AI, AR/VR proliferation, and rising mobile fraud, where standard keyboards fall short on privacy and context-awareness.[1][2] Timing aligns with post-2020 B2B SDK boom, fueled by remote work, health tech digitization, and regulatory pushes for secure fintech—evidenced by its Innovate UK grant for fraud prevention.[2] Market forces like exploding app ecosystems and need for white-label solutions favor Fleksy, influencing the landscape by enabling non-tech firms (e.g., banks, healthcare) to embed advanced input without building from scratch, thus accelerating secure AI adoption across verticals.[1][4]
Fleksy is poised to dominate secure, AI-enhanced input as a foundational layer for next-gen apps, with expansions into logistics and cybersecurity signaling broader enterprise play.[2] Trends like multimodal AI, edge computing, and zero-trust security will amplify demand for its SDKs, potentially driving acquisitions or further funding amid $8.32M traction.[1] Its influence may evolve from niche accessibility roots to ecosystem enabler, powering frictionless typing in metaverse, health AI, and beyond—cementing its role as the go-to for developers building tomorrow's interfaces.[1][2][5]
