i swear by touch typing. The simplest way to describe it is find the letter
you want and let up on the letter and it adds it. I also have a keyboard
that connects to the bottom of my phone but my fingers are too big for it
and I don't like it.

The thing I find disappointing about direct touch typing is when
you're in the phone app it pretty much acts like it would when in standard
typing mode. I don't know if this is a bug or if they purposely did this so
that we don't mess up. But if we did mess up, that's what the delete button
is for.

You certainly can do it with a split tap. What is described
in "iOS8 without the eye" and is maybe more difficult but works, is to tap
the letter and then release quickly. I think this would require a good
finger memory of where the different letters are or a screen protector with
dots because if I understand correctly you are just tapping down and then
releasing quickly. It's different from touch typing because with touch
typing you can just slide your finger around and lift up. The direct touch
typing needs a definite tap and then a quick release. I'm probably not
describing this very well and I'm not very good at it yet but I've done it
enough to know sort of how it feels. But a split tap also would accomplish
this I think.

I tried and tried to turn over a new leaf.
I got crumpled wads of tear-stained paper
thrown in the trash!
Then God gave me a new heart and life:
His joy for my despairing tears!
And now, every day:
"This I call to mind,
and therefore I have hope:
The steadfast love of the Lord
never ceases;
his mercies never come to an end;
they are new every morning;
great is your faithfulness."

Touch typing is the same as it was. Find the letter
and lift your finger to activate. The new method is to find the letter and
touch elsewhere on the screen, sort of like a split tap, to activate.

Hi Jonathan,
My husband and I were discussing this topic
at length this evening, and he pointed out something I had long since
forgotten. Many, if not most sighted people don't even look at their
keyboard when they are typing on the iPhone. Whether they realize it or
not, they are actually watching the output of what they are typing on the
screen, but are in fact, typing purely by muscle memory and familiarity of
the keyboard with their fingers or thumbs. I have a sighted friend and
neighbor who, I swear, has to set some sort of speed record with her ability
to type quickly on the iPhone. She most definitely isn't watching what she
is typing, and the "clicking" sound that accompanies each keystroke simply
can't keep up with her movement. LOL Having had usable vision once myself,
I know exactly what he is talking about, because I have been "touch typing"
now since I was in the third grade or so. I have longed for a way to type
as sighted folks do on my iDevices, not so much because I just have an
overwhelming desire to "be" like the sighted, but because I honestly believe
I could type more quickly and efficiently that way. Even on the iPhone,
which doesn't have nearly as much space in which to position either or both
hands, I can make good use of the direct typing function with one or two
fingers at a time. It's just like anything else, it comes with a learning
curve, and as always, it's not for everyone. Personally, I have no use for
inputting text via a virtual braille keyboard, as I just can't get used to
scrunching my fingers into such a small place, and I really do prefer
tactile buttons pressing underneath my fingers, but I think the concept is
cool and I am glad there are folks who can make use to it. :-) As for me
and braille input, I'll stick to the braille display.

Hi Jenny, I agree with you. Direct touch
typing absolutely rocks on an iPad, and when I first started using this
feature three months ago, I couldn't imagine using it on my phone. Now I am
starting to, and I suspect it will be used even more regularly when I get my
6 Plus. But there's definitely a knack to it and it may take a while to
learn.
Direct typing is a great reason to have a
SpeedDots screen protector. It really helps and the combination can speed
you way up.

Actually, you might be surprised.
What's useless for one may be the next best thing for another. Personally,
I am rather excited about the direct touch typing feature. While I made
quite a few mistakes within the first three or four minutes of playing with
it, my speed and accuracy picked up dramatically within the hour. For those
whom muscle memory and spacial orientation come more naturally, it's a
pretty neat option. But it's just that, an option, and personally, I
applaud Apple for giving us more of them. :-)

Useless on an iPhone as far as I am

actual tap and lift for the letter to type rather than just lifting your
