There is a podcast on direct touch typing. You can find it on the AppleVis site, and it is worth listening to to get an understanding of the typing mode.
I view the three typing modes as a continuum from elementary to advanced. Standard typing is the elementary mode, double- or split-tapping each letter. Touch typing is the intedmediate mode, faster than standard. Direct touch typing is the advanced mode, the fastest of them all. For it to work, you will want to have word predictions active. Personally, I have not had the ability or motivation to achieve success with direct touch typing. It requires precise finger movements and attention to word prediction, since the predictions that are offered compensate for common typing errors. If one plans to type a lot on the screen, and feels able to master this mode, then the rewards will be great. -----Original Message----- From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Terri S Sent: Saturday, February 14, 2015 8:06 PM To: [email protected] Subject: Thank you for the help with the recording question, no question about typing. Hello again everyone, As my subject says, I have another question. This one has to do with typing. I do appreciate the earlier help, regarding my audio recording. Right now, I am using the standard typing. I would like to use the direct touch typing. But I do not know how to do this. I have tried before, but I don't think my hands are steady enough to do it. I think I move around on the screen too much. Is there an easy way to learn how to do this? Is it faster? Any help would be much appreciated. Thank you so much!
