Bull's eye, Chris; that is the way I am about tasks. -----Original Message----- From: viphone@googlegroups.com [mailto:viphone@googlegroups.com] On Behalf Of Christopher Chaltain Sent: Wednesday, January 18, 2023 2:25 PM To: viphone@googlegroups.com Subject: RE: When It Comes to iPhone, Are You All Thumbs?
I'm also not interested in doing something just because that's the way sighted people do it. In my case, after my children explained what they do, and I tried it myself, I decided it was more efficient for me to type that way. Just as I won't do something just because sighted people do it that way, I'm also not going to rule out trying something the way a sighted person does it. -- Christopher (AKA CJ) =>÷ Chaltain at Outlook, USA -----Original Message----- From: viphone@googlegroups.com <viphone@googlegroups.com> On Behalf Of Kathy Brandt Sent: Wednesday, January 18, 2023 8:44 AM To: viphone@googlegroups.com Subject: Re: When It Comes to iPhone, Are You All Thumbs? When I got my first iPod, training wheels for my iPhone, somehow always used right index finger; never occurred to me to use my thumbs. when I heard of people doing this, didn’t occur to me to switch. I’m not interested in doing something just because that’s the way sighted people do it. On Jan 18, 2023, at 9:00 AM, Christopher Chaltain <chalt...@outlook.com> wrote: I do use my thumbs. My sighted children showed me how to do it. I place the phone so that each bottom corner is in the palm of one of my hands. My fingers reach around behind the phone to cradle it. I then use my thumbs to type, with my left thumb reaching the keys on the left and so on. For longer bouts of typing, I'll use braille screen input, my Orbit Writer or a Logitech keyboard. -- Christopher (AKA CJ) =>÷ Chaltain at Outlook, USA -----Original Message----- From: viphone@googlegroups.com <viphone@googlegroups.com> On Behalf Of Gerardo Corripio Sent: Wednesday, January 18, 2023 7:29 AM To: viphone@googlegroups.com Subject: Re: When It Comes to iPhone, Are You All Thumbs? Holding the phone in my left hand, I use the 3 fingers (Index, Middle, and Ring), and depending on what letter I'm typing, the finger: for the A, Q, W, S, i, I use the Index; for the E, D, F, R, etc., the middle but sometimes the Index. And for the rest of the letters, I use either the Index or middle finger. To switch between letters and numbwiths, I use the Index finger. And for the Enter, I use the Ring finger.
