Hi Glenn et al,
I meant I'm trying to get to the point where I just tap the letter I
want, not that I can currently achieve such a thing. The sighted just
use thumbs of their both hands for typing, and I'm trying to get
comfortable with that too. The point is that when you're typing with two
fingers, your speed, once you get hang of it, is pretty much doubled. I
can attest to that since my speed on a normal keyboard far bypasses my
colleague programmers since I'm using all of my ten fingers, as opposed
to four or six that sighted people usually do.

Parham,
Perhaps the difficulty you are having with touch-typing is that you will
have best results if you slide to the character you want, and not touch
somewhere.
Lifting off will enter the character.
HTH.

Subject: Re: Typing On The iPhone's On-Screen Keyboard
Hi Desi,
As I'm living in Iran and Fleksy or Mbraille do not support what is
known as Pinglish (writing Farsi using English characters) I do have to
type using the on-screen keyboard. It does feel like I'm too slow,
however, even though I'm very fast when using a normal keyboard and even
when using phones with software keyboards.
I'm hoping to get to the point of single-tapping the letter I want to
type in the touch typing mode. However, I haven't quite gotten there
yet, although I practice as much as possible.
HTH.

Hi Everyone,
I was recently having a discussion with a friend about how to type on the
on-screen keyboard of the iPhone. Personally, I don't particularly like
to use a special program for this like, for instance, mBraill or Fleksy.
I just want to use the regular keyboard. Dictation can be useful, but of
course, sometimes, it's just nice to be able to type something relatively
privately. I have built up some speed over the past 3 years, but I would
like to get faster. I generally hold my phone in my left hand, and use my
right index finger to type, anchoring my thumb down where the connector is
at the bottom of the phone. I'm interested to know how others who type
using the regular on-screen keyboard, enter your text. I do happen to use
Touch Typing mode, but I would also be interested in what typing mode you
use. And, does anyone else besides me just use the regular on-screen
keyboard for their typing needs?
Thanks!
Desi
