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?

Subject: Re: Direct touch typing

At the risk of being condescended to, I guess I don't get it either. 
When I use touch typing, I drop my finger on the character I want to enter
and then I lift my finger to insert that character into the edit field. I
don't slide my finger around looking for the character I want, so I'm 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.
