Hi Petrus,

love it.
Not sure about the blind folks.

Slide to type
Glad no insult was taken. :)
One of the things I find fun about technology is playing around with new
gadgets and features. I don't always adopt them, but I'm usually curious
enough to give them a go if I have the time. So, when you do try it out, I
hope you have fun with it.
Cheers,
Donna
That's it, exactly.

Donna,
No insult taken. I’m a very experienced iPhone user. Have been using Touch
typing for years. I’ll have to give that slide typing a test-drive, in any case
since now the gauntlet has been thrown (-*.

Hi Dave,
I know you're new to this list, so not sure how much experience you have on the
iPhone. so, apologies in advance if this sounds condescending.
when you've used the iPhone for a while, you develop a pretty good sense for
where things are, including letters. I have used slide typing.
Slide to type is a bit like FlickType, as both rely on you roughly knowing
where the letters are on the keyboard, whether you can see them or not. Both
are fairly forgiving so you don’t need to be very precise. My experience so
far, anyway!

Donna,
Slide typing is a very sighted thing. It would allow sighted users to type even
faster. They can see where the next letter is located, and drag around to
create words without lifting their finger. I’ve not tried it yet, but it sounds
difficult to me.
Dave Carlson
Musician, Engineer,
With touch typing, the character is entered when you lift your finger. With
touch typing, it's entered when you touch the letter. I could never make touch
typing work very well. You have to have very good aim. :)

Do you mean direct touch typing?
Sorry, I don't get your point at all. With touch typing, you touch the
letters, but you don't slide around the screen. also, I don't see slide typing
as a sighted thing.

Donna

Slide to type will anticipate words as you drag your finger across the
keyboard. You don’t lift your finger to select the letter, you just continue to
drag around your desired letters and the word magically occurs. Have not tried
it yet, but that’s the hype.

I think that slide typing is probably a good thing for sighted users. 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

Doesn't sound much different from touch typing but having turned off
the slide to type seems to make typing with the braille display better.

Yup, iOS 13 gave us a couple annoying things. One it thinks we need

Umm, yes, much slower on the iPhone. On the mac I have a full-size

I found that my double-tap wasn't very accurate. I often ended up double
tapping a nearby key or tapping once on one key and the second on
another key. The 'split tap' seemed to work much better.
Another thing that has worked well is the flick left and right through

I've heard that once people get good at it you hold a key on the left
side of the virtual keyboard and tap with a finger on the right hand or
vice versa. For now I end up hunting with one finger and tapping with
another for every key. Like VO on the Mac I'm finding many iPhone apps

I haven't tried the gps but the typing feature got me for a start.
You move / put one finger on the character you want and then tap the screen
with another and the character is typed to the screen.
I found it really easy after got the fingers working together.
