Also with touch typing, even if you land right on top of the character
you want to enter, you still need to wait a beat before the character is
entered. This is so if you land on the wrong character you have a chance
to move around and find the right character before lifting your finger.
With touch typing, try just touching a character very quickly and
lifting your finger. You'll see that it wasn't entered. This is to
prevent erroneous characters from being typed.
With direct touch typing there is no pause. Just touch a character on
the virtual keyboard as quickly as you can, and you'll see that it's
entered immediately.

Hi Mike, direct touch typing is actually a pretty good description of
how the feature works. Rather than dragging your finger around the
screen and lifting your finger when you find the character you were
looking for, direct touch typing is designed for you to tap the
character exactly. It requires good muscle memory, but particularly on
an iPhone 6 Plus or an iPad, you can get speeds comparable to regular
touch typing on a PC or Mac with it if you practice enough and make good
use of auto-correct.

Hey everyone. I finally did upgrade to IOS 8.1.1, so far it seems to
work fine, only issue I have found so far is that the caller id does
not always speak. Anyway, wondering what the difference is between
touch typing and direct touch typing. The direct touch typing option
is new with IOS 8
