That is why I use dictation.
the problem however devin is most sighted people cannot actually touch type
at anything like a respectable speed, they just peer at the keys and press
so aren't that much slower than with a conventional keyboard.
I suspect keyboards will always be around in some form, even if just for
taking notes or secretarial jobs simply because an accomplished typist will
always be faster than someone using a touch screen, though as on ios,
keyboard commands for actually using the operating system probably won't be
around for that long.
This is why I think it's going to fall into either using a keyboard for
specialist text in put, dictation or touch screen.
All the best,
Dark.

Also, I think that if the touch screen is to be made the default input
device, I think screen readers have got to step up their imagining of how
a blind person would input text into the touch screen. Sure, braille input
is nice, but let's face a little bitty fact, braille is slower than
typing. A lot slower.

Hi Shaun,
That may be so, but we all know mainstream consumer products isn't
concerned with accessibility for blind consumers. That keyboard which
may in deed be the best access for a blind consumer is quickly and
rapidly vanishing from the consumer space and is now a optional device
rather than a mandatory one. Now days touchscreens are the primary
input device for smartphones, laptops, tablets, and several other
devices.
So don't get to attached to your keyboard because I don't see it
lasting for that much longer outside of an office environment.

I agree, for us blinks, the best access is a keyboard, and that means
a computer at least for now.
as voice recognition gets better that may become another big form,
touch I am not sure about.
