Hello Sandy, this is a valid question on list and may help others who
are in a similar situation. What I usually do is hold the phone with my
left hand in portrait mode, meaning, right-side-up where the charging
port is at the bottom. With my right hand I use my index finger to type
the letters. Since I have touch typing enabled I simply slide my finger
to the letter I want and then lift up and the letter is entered. I have
done the thumb typing at other times, but that's usually when the phone
is in landscape mode, meaning on its side. For beginners I usually
recommend you keep the default tap type mode so that you have to
double-tap the letter after finding it. Meaning, it behaves just like
all other buttons and icons on the screen. If you do it this way, what
you can do is find the letter you want and with your index still on that
letter, tap any other part of the screen with your middle finger. This
is a split tap, and basically acts as a double-tap and the letter is
activated.
I hope this helps.

Greetings. I have just purchased an iPhone and I am finding the typing
daunting. I know people do it so I know I will get it. I’d be interested
in some advice. What fingers do you type with? Do you use only one
finger or do you use one finger on each hand simultaneously? My husband
says he uses his thumbs to type on his Droid but I wonder if that is a
more sighted approach. I find I want to use the same fingers I read
Braille with.
To keep from cluttering the list, feel free to respond to me privately at

Thank you.
