Hi, To clarify, Slide to Type and character Preview are totally different features. The Character Preview is more for the sighted user in my opinion, as it is where the character "key" you type visually enlarges for a second as you type it, popping up on your screen so you can know for sure what character you’re entering. The Slide to Type feature is more of a slide your finger around the keyboard thing, hesitating for a moment on the character you wish to enter and the iPhone will guess the word you want to type depending on this. That’s probably not a very good explanation, so I’ll post this link that might say things better:
