difference between touch typing and direct touch typing
Hey everyone. I finally did upgrade to IOS 8.1.1, so far it seems to work fine, only issue I have found so far is that the caller id does not always speak. Anyway, wondering what the difference is between touch typing and direct touch typing. The direct touch typing option is new with IOS 8 -- The following information is important for all members of the viphone list. All new members to the this list are moderated by default.

Re: difference between touch typing and direct touch typing
Hi Mike, direct touch typing is actually a pretty good description of how the feature works. Rather than dragging your finger around the screen and lifting your finger when you find the character you were looking for, direct touch typing is designed for you to tap the character exactly. It requires good muscle memory, but particularly on an iPhone 6 Plus or an iPad, you can get speeds comparable to regular touch typing on a PC or Mac with it if you practice enough and make good use of auto-correct.

Re: difference between touch typing and direct touch typing
Also with touch typing, even if you land right on top of the character you want to enter, you still need to wait a beat before the character is entered. This is so if you land on the wrong character you have a chance to move around and find the right character before lifting your finger. With touch typing, try just touching a character very quickly and lifting your finger. You'll see that it wasn't entered. This is to prevent erroneous characters from being typed. With direct touch typing there is no pause. Just touch a character on the virtual keyboard as quickly as you can, and you'll see that it's entered immediately.

Re: difference between touch typing and direct touch typing
on the direct touch typing it also appears that you can move your finger around the screen and it speaks everything that is on your screen when u move your finger around it will speak what your finger is over simular to what android explore by touch does. just something I observed On 11/27/2014 9:49 AM, Christopher Chaltain wrote: Also with touch typing, even if you land right on top of the character you want to enter, you still need to wait a beat before the character is entered.
