Hi Alan, Direct Touch typing has nothing to do with external bluetooth keyboards, it's strictly a third way to use the virtual keyboard. Regards, Sieghard -Original Message- From: viphone@googlegroups.com [mailto:viphone@googlegroups.com] On Behalf Of Alan Paganelli Sent: Sunday

Sorry, I responded to the wrong thread and got confused. Direct touch typing allows you to slide your finger to the character you want, then you can quickly lift your finger and tap. So it's more like striking a key. Teresa We can see with the eyes, but we see with the brain as well

not quite seeing what direct touch typing buys me. I guess I'll just have to bring it up and play with it, since the descriptions I'm seeing on the list aren't really clicking with me. On 09/21/2014 12:37 PM, christopher hallsworth wrote: Touch typing is where you can slide your finger to a letter

I'm not quite sure why people like direct touch typing over regular touch typing. In the regular touch typing, you can slide your finger to the letter you want and simply lift your finger to enter the letter, you don't have to tap again. I can only assume I'm missing something. Richard Common

Would direct touch typing be the same as someone using the virtual keyboard without voice over? If so, I can only think that this would benefit someone who is low vision enough to see the virtual keys, but still want the voice over feature. Is that an accurate description? Thom -Original

I'm about half the time one character off so I do have to slide my finger to the correct character in that case. Touch typing and direct touch typing are exactly alike up to this point. With touch typing, you simply lift your finger to enter a character. With direct touch typing, you lift your

I've plaid with direct touch typing just a bit now, and I think the difference is that with touch typing you need to leave your finger on a letter for a beat before you lift it. I think this keeps you from accidentally entering the wrong character as you're sliding your finger around

Christopher. This makes sense. But, to quote another list member. With touch typing, you simply lift your finger to enter a character. With direct touch typing, you lift your finger, then tap it down in the same place. I can't see this making sense. If I am going to slide my finger around

Direct Touch Typing isn't the same as the regular keyboard a sighted person uses. If it were, everything you touched, no matter for how long, would register. It requires a very quick and precise touch to enter text with direct touch typing. If you're not quick enough with the action
