I know that with with direct touch typing, I can't enter my passcode except using the standard typing method. I have an iPod Touch 5G, so haven't tested the keypad for dialing phone numbers. I also haven't experimented with Touch typing for entering passcode, but it has worked in the past

No. Direct Touch Typing does not involve any lifting at all. You just tap directly on the letter to have it inserted. It involves quick and precise movements on the touch screen. Sent from my Macbook Pro On 22 Sep 2014, at 04:42, Neal Ewers neal.ew...@ravenswood.org wrote: Christopher

Who came up with this direct touch typing idea? It seems half baked to me. I don't remember reading anything about it prior to the IOS 8 launch. It reminds me of the handwriting feature added seemingly at the last minute to IOS 7. I don't know anyone who uses the handwriting input method

I think direct touch typing is fantastic. There seems to be a lot of confusion out there about its use so it's one of the things I'll demonstrate on my Tek Talk presentation in a few hours. It takes a bit of investment in developing the muscle memory, but at least for me it has been well worth

I'm a little puzzled by the general statements in this thread. I know of four totally blind people who have used this method successfully, including myself. Maybe it's because it's a little tricky to describe. It's a little like describing balancing on a bicycle. But it's like any other method

You don't have to tap anywhere else. Direct Touch typing is just like typing on a regular keyboard. You hit the letter you want on the first try and that's that. There is no sliding around and lifting to insert the letter, no split or double tapping, you hit where you think the letter
