System Keyboard Features Not Working on iOS (Glide typing, speech to text and diacritical signs)

KVM
1

Three keyboard features don't work in the iOS app:

  1. Glide/swipe typing - Sliding finger across letters doesn't produce text

  2. Speech-to-text - Microphone/dictation button doesn't work

  3. Diacritical marks - Can't enter accented characters (é, ñ, ü, etc.) by long-pressing keys

Steps to Reproduce

  1. Open any text input field in the iOS app

  2. Try using swipe typing, dictation, or long-press for accents

Environment

  • iOS version: 18.1

  • App version: 1.0.0

  • Device: iPhone 17

Technical Note

Likely related to text input implementation not properly integrating with iOS keyboard APIs (UITextInput protocol).

Thank you for your report.

These are compatibility issues with the iOS app. I will submit them to the development team for evaluation and gradually fix them in future versions.

Because the KVM basically simulates a computer keyboard, so it can’t support all mobile system keyboard features, so points 1 and 3 don’t work. For point 3, we’re trying to fix this bug.

is it possible to implement mobile keyboard text to speech functionality or not at all?

or at least add some input text field (to paste to remote device like its done in windows app) where you can use mobile keyboard with full functionality

I will ask our app developer to work on this feature (keyboard to speech);and the pasteboard feature is already on our roadmap.
