Yes, it's basically a matter of practice and knowing which letters correspond to which number, e.g. 1 is nothing, 2 is A, B and C, 3 is D, E and F and so on. I find it quite natural now and I hardly have to think which numbers to push if, for example, I want to enter the first 3 letters of a last name like "Smith", I know I have to push 7 6 4. Here is the complete list of letters:
1 = nothing 2 = A, B and C 3 = D, E and F 4 = G, H and I 5 = J, K and L 6 = M, N and O 7 = P, Q, R and S (apart from the 9 that is the only number with 4 letters) 8 = T, U and V 9 = W, X, Y and Z I don't usually have hints enabled, so when I touch a number on the keypad Voiceover only speaks the number and not the letters which the number also represents which I just find distracting.

I hate that option because it often times out on me. Lots of luck and if you are successful please give me a tip.
