I've plaid with direct touch typing just a bit now, and I think the
difference is that with touch typing you need to leave your finger on a
letter for a beat before you lift it. I think this keeps you from
accidentally entering the wrong character as you're sliding your finger
around the keyboard. With direct touch typing, I think the character is
entered if you just tap the character. Direct touch typing would be
faster if you're pretty good at knowing right where the character is and
can land on it without having to slide your finger around at all. . For
my part, I'm getting good at knowing where the delete key is as I
practice direct touch typing.

I'm about half the time one character off so I do have to slide my
finger to the correct character in that case. Touch typing and direct
touch typing are exactly alike up to this point. With touch typing, you
simply lift your finger to enter a character. With direct touch typing,
you lift your finger, then tap it down in the same place. It sDs like
there wouldn't be much difference between the two, but I think the
action of actually tapping creates the illusion of typing more
effectively, and kind of awakens the muscle memory for typing, if that
makes sense.

At the risk of being condescended to, I guess I don't get it either.
When I use touch typing, I drop my finger on the character I want to
enter and then I lift my finger to insert that character into the edit
field. I don't slide my finger around looking for the character I
want, so I'm not quite seeing what direct touch typing buys me. I
guess I'll just have to bring it up and play with it, since the
descriptions I'm seeing on the list aren't really clicking with me.

Touch typing is where you can slide your finger to a letter then lift it
before it will be inserted in a text field. Direct Touch Typing involves
directly tapping on the letter which will be immediately inserted into a
text field. I don't understand the confusion here?

It works a lot like typing on a physical qwerty keyboard. Instead of
finding the letter and either lifting your finger or double tap to
insert, you simply tap and release immediately to input the letter,
the same as you would on a physical qwerty keyboard.
