Some folk turn the phone landscape so they can use two digits to type with. For voiceover users, you might want to try the rotor and typing mode, there are two, and you can be efficient in both with practice. I use just the one finger and keep the others well out the way, that's how awful errors occur. Touch typing enters the hcaracter when you lift the finger, so you can feel around at will; otherwise, you have to double tap them. But in the manual, a split tap is a single tap with another finger, when the first finger found what you want. That is quite quick, but you do have to be that much more careful where all the fingers are at any time. I use the phone portrain, so iti s all very closely packed together, so anything after two fingers is crowded.
You might want to consider a bluetooth keyboard and type properly of course.

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 [email protected] Thank you.
