RE: How to stop suggestions when using edit to enter new phone numbers

2021-04-01 Thread Shirley Tracy 
Richard, thank you. I had the terms mixed up. I had already turned suggestions off, but the other settings will fix everything, I’m sure. Thank you so much.  It’s pretty bad when I have to ask my questions on my computer instead of my Iphone. But with practice, I’ll get better…hopefully.   Shirley Tracy From: Richard TurnerSent: Thursday, April 1, 2021 10:51 AMTo: viphone@googlegroups.comSubject: RE: How to stop suggestions when using edit to enter new phone numbers Hi Shirley,Persistence will pay off, hang in there.First, I think maybe want you want is touch typing, where you touch the keyboard and don’t lift your finger until you are on the letter you want.Slide-to-type is always making suggestions as you are sliding around which is fine for sighted people, but I find it rather distracting. Here are the settings I recommend, for what it is worth. Under Settings, General, Keyboard:Turn off suggestions, turn off predictions, and turn off slide-to-type. Under Settings, Accessibility, VoiceOver, Typing:Select Touch typing.Just below that is Typing Feedback.  I suggested for software keyboards, select Words.  You will hear each character as you slide your finger, but you will then hear the word when you hit a space or enter punctuation. Under Settings Accessibility, VoiceOver, Verbosity:Under the tables section, turn off row and column headers. HTH,   Richard Ralph's Observation:  It is a mistake to allow any mechanical object<>to realize that you are in a hurry.  My web site, www.turner42.com   From: viphone@googlegroups.com  On Behalf Of Shirley TracySent: Thursday, April 1, 2021 7:41 AMTo: viphone@googlegroups.comSubject: How to stop suggestions when using edit to enter new phone numbers I’m trying to enter new contacts in “Phone.” Suddenly, I’m unable to select letters for the name because I keep getting all kinds of suggestions.

Hi Shirley,
Persistence will pay off, hang in there.
First, I think maybe want you want is touch typing, where you touch the 
keyboard and don't lift your finger until you are on the letter you want.
Slide-to-type is always making suggestions as you are sliding around which is 
fine for sighted people, but I find it rather distracting.

Here are the settings I recommend, for what it is worth.

Under Settings, General, Keyboard:
Turn off suggestions, turn off predictions, and turn off slide-to-type.

Under Settings, Accessibility, VoiceOver, Typing:
Select Touch typing.
Just below that is Typing Feedback.  I suggested for software keyboards, select 
Words.  You will hear each character as you slide your finger, but you will 
then hear the word when you hit a space or enter punctuation.

Under Settings Accessibility, VoiceOver, Verbosity:
Under the tables section, turn off row and column headers.

HTH,



Richard

Subject: How to stop suggestions when using edit to enter new phone numbers

I'm trying to enter new contacts in "Phone." Suddenly, I'm unable to select 
letters for the name because I keep getting all kinds of suggestions. Example: 
Hiram turns out to be "His" "hello" and so forth. I must have touched something 
that set or unset something. I prefer slide to type, but it isn't working. (At 
least I think it's called slide to type. It's where I can slide my finger and 
only input the letter where I raise my finger.)

Obviously, I'm struggling to use this Iphone. Please help!

Also, this phone has been opening aps when I'm not even near it. What's with 
that?

I'm determined to conquer this-with help?
