I have my typing mode set to standard keyboard. When I touch a letter, if I want that letter I lift, if not I slide to the letter I want. I use the backspace a lot and also dictation helps. There is a dictation button on the lower left near the spacebar.

If I do any writing of any length, I use my desktop with Window-eyes. (there, I related the topic to W-e)

OK folks, I've been wanting to ask this for a long time. Not having ever attempted to use a tablet, iPhone or any other touch screen device, I realize just how stupid this question might sound, but bear with me, OK?

I just want to know how a blind user like myself avoids becoming a hunt and pecker when trying to type on a touch screen. There obviously can't be anything like home keys, or a easily recognizable home base for the fingers, so short of having to buy and use a bluetooth keyboard, how do you guys who make use of these screens do it?

Please be nice <smile>.
