I'm about half the time one character off so I do have to slide my finger to the correct character in that case. Touch typing and direct touch typing are exactly alike up to this point. With touch typing, you simply lift your finger to enter a character. With direct touch typing, you lift your finger, then tap it down in the same place. It sDs like there wouldn't be much difference between the two, but I think the action of actually tapping creates the illusion of typing more effectively, and kind of awakens the muscle memory for typing, if that makes sense.
