Let me put it to you this way. What is the difference between touch typing and slide to type?

   This slide to type sounds exactly like touch typing. So the slide to type is 
the sighted version.

We have always had different ways of typing on the iPhone, standard typing 
versus touch typing and so on..  I think Apple consistently strives to make 
typing on the device as fast and easy as possible.  What that looks like will 
be different for different people.  If you don't like the slide typing, then by 
all means turn it off.  I would just encourage folks to spend some time trying 
it out, before just dismissing it out of hand.  It will take time to get used 
to.  But if people practice with it, I suspect some of you will end up liking 
it quite a lot.
Cheers,

That's like saying we should go back to DOS because we managed fine without it 
for a decade or two. New features will come, we should be pretty glad that 
Apple even gives us the chance to turn them off or even configure them to what 
we need, because users of other platforms... aren't so lucky, lol.

         Well Donna we managed quite well without all that noise for years,
    didn't we? What we had in iOS 12 was just fine. Now I need to stumble
    through that long list and turn most of them off.

For me anyway, what makes it distracting is all the input you get while sliding 
your finger around.  But I suppose VO has to give you that feedback, otherwise, 
you wouldn't know if it was on the right track or not.  There's no denying that 
the slide typing takes some getting used to--you have to learn to filter out the 
noise--but I do find I'm liking it more and more with practice.
