Hi, To clarify, Slide to Type and character Preview are totally different features. The Character Preview is more for the sighted user in my opinion, as it is where the character "key" you type visually enlarges for a second as you type it, popping up on your screen so you can know for sure w

I believe this has to do with the “Slide to Type” feature, and my guess is that when enabled, a slide to type character is previewed before it is actually typed into the edit field area. This would not be the same as “Show Lowercase Keys”, which changes the key-labels on the keyboard to corresp

OK Brad, I fully believe you here, but the question was what is the on/off field : Character preview" in IOS 14.6 in Settings:General:Keyboard between smart punctuation and period shortcut. My guess is that this is the same thing as "show lowercase keys", but I can't confirm without bugging

I believe this feature is called “Show Lowercase Keys”. It is found in Settings > Accessibility > keyboards. When enabled, it changes the Key-labels on the iOS software keyboard, to reflect whether the Shift/Caps Lock key has been pressed. - Brad - On May 31, 2021, at 11:15, Jonathan C. Cohn w

Character preview is for sighted people, it will show lowercase characters when you and lowercase and uppercase and uppercase. At least that’s my memory of what it is from reading other posts. Sent from my iPhone > On May 30, 2021, at 7:11 PM, Lorie McCloud wrote: > > great! very helpful! ca

Lorie, This drove me nuts for quite a while, too. You’ll want to go to Settings > General > Keyboard > all keyboards. The first thing to do is turn Predictive off. That will stop the suggestions from coming up. And then, if you also turn slide to type off, that should make your life a whole lot

Hello Lorie, It sounds like you are experiencing something called slide to type. You may wish to turn this off, if it is giving you issues. 1. Go into your settings app on any iOS device. Step 2. Go under the keyboard settings, under general. Step 3. Switch the “Slide to type“ button to off. It’

Hi Lori, With touch typing, the letter isn’t entered until you lift your finger. That enables you to move your finger around the keyboard until you find the letter that you want. With direct touch typing, whatever you touch is activated. So you have to be able to place your finger much more pre
