Hi Krister, No, quick type and Direct Touch Typing have nothing to do with each other. Quick Type gives you predictions of words you might want to type next. This works in 2 ways. If I start a text message and write "I" then most likely one of the 3 quick type suggestions is "am" which means quick type will try to predict what you want to write and it will learn as it goes about your style and so on. The second way it predicts words is by coming up with new predictions as you start typing a word. If you type "I" and the 3 predictions it comes up with are "am", "just" and "need" and you then start the next word with "h" it will show new predictions like "have", "hardly" or "hope".
Direct Touch Typing is a new typing mode which you find if you are in an edit field and turn the rotor to Typing Mode. So far we had Standard Typing and Touch Typing which we are all familiar with. Direct Touch Typing is different from regular Touch Typing in that you actually have to tap the screen and lift before a letter is typed, if you just touch a letter and lift as in regular touch typing the letter won't type. It's most like a regular physical keyboard where just touching a key and lifting your finger won't do anything. You have to press the key and as you do so and press it down and let go the letter is typed. With direct touch typing it's the same, it has to be a definitely tap or press and I think it might be useful on an iPad in landscape mode where you might be able to learn how to type like on a regular keyboard. I have so far not found it too helpful on the iPhone for the way I type and still prefer regular touch typing.

I would also love to be able to use quick type, btw is that the same as the direct type method in the rotor setting where you can change typing modes? Rumor has it though that Quick type is yet another anglocentric feature that probably won't be available in Sweden at all, just like Siri. /Krister > 12 sep 2014 kl. 01:44 skrev Devin Prater <r.d.t.pra...@gmail.com>: > > I can't wait to use quicktype and all that. I'll love being able to type on the touch screen and have only one device to have to worry about. We shouldn't have to buy a braille display or bluetooth keyboard to be proficient typists on iOS. > On 9/11/2014 6:03 AM, Krister Ekstrom wrote: >> And i can't wait to use the Continuity feature even though i don't understand how it's supposed to be done or used.
