Kimmy, A split tap does the same as a double tap except that instead of lifting your finger and then tapping twice quickly you leave your finger on the screen and then tap the screen elsewhere with another finger. If, for example, you want to open the App Store, you can find the app, then when Voiceover says App Store you can lift your finger which leaves focus on the App Store and double tap anywhere on the screen. To do the same with a split tap, find the App Store icon, then when you found it and Voiceover says App Store, leave your finger on it and tap the screen elsewhere with another finger.
You can always do a 4-finger double tap in iOS 7 which starts Help and now you can try various gestures and taps and Voiceover will tell you which gesture you performed. If, for example, you want to practice a 3-finger double tap which mutes speech and you do this in the practice area and Voiceover says "Screen curtain on or off", you know you actually did a triple tap and not a double tap.

Thanks for that. But pardon my ignorance, what's a split tap? The reason I don't like standard typing, because you have to top to get the letter as opposed to lifting your finger when you reach the character you want, but I'll certainly try that. Thanks. -----Original Message----- From: viphone@googlegroups.com [mailto:viphone@googlegroups.com] On Behalf Of Joseph FreeTech Sent: Wednesday, 25 September 2013 1:06 a.m. To: viphone@googlegroups.com Subject: Re: how to get rid of the extra characters when typing in ios7? Hi Kimmie and others. If you leave your finger on a character too long as might be the case in the new IOS7 keyboard, and if the new characters prompt is presented, try this... When you hear "alternative characters available" simply split tap somewhere on the keyboard and the prompt will disappear. Make sure to move your finger elsewhere or else the same prompt will pop up--just split tap again to make the prompt disappear. By the way, if you use "Standard typing," which you can access through the rotor, you will not have this problem. If you get yourself into the habit of using your middle-finger to find characters and split-tapping with your index or ring finger, you will be surprised at just how fast you will be able to type using this standard typing keyboard.

Yes I find this a pain too, because you have to lift your finger up, and then delete the character you didn't want.
