Easier typing on the iPhone

H

ow fast can you type on your iPhone? Seeing a

teenager’s thumbs flying around the onscreen keyboard

as they furiously type may make you envious, but with a

few changes to the iPhone’s settings, you won’t be far behind.

There are many settings which have an impact on typing on the

iPhone and they can make it easier and quicker, and you’ll be

less prone to making typing slips.

One way you can make typing easier is to hold down the

keyboard switcher button and select left or right-handed mode,

which shifts the keys nearer to your thumb. You can then type

with one hand. There are many additional settings and you can

have letters or word spoken as you type, or whenever you make a

mistake, and much more.

Make typing faster and simpler with these simple settings tweaks on your iOS device

Many keys on your iOS keyboard provide additional

characters and text shortcuts if you press and hold...

1

Show the case

At one time the iPhone keyboard showed

only uppercase letters on keys. If you prefer it

go to Settings>General>Accessibility>

Keyboard and turn off ‘Show Lowercase Keys’.

2

Set key repeat

Press ‘Key Repeat’ and enable it. Set

the delay until a key begins repeating when it

is held down, and then set the repeat interval,

which is how fast the key then repeats.

3

Adjust key response

Press ‘Slow Keys’ in step 1 and enable

Slow Keys. If you have problems typing and

make mistakes, you may find it useful to add a

slight delay between pressing and activating.

4

Type and speak

The iPhone can say the keys you press

and words you type to help you spot mistakes.

Go to Settings>Accessibility>Speech>Typing

>Feedback. Configure the settings here.

5

Press and slide

You can tap Shift for a single capital or

press and slide. Press Shift and then slide your

finger over the keyboard to enter a capital.

Double-tap Shift to stick it down.

6

Alternate keys

It works with ‘123’ too. Instead of tapping

to switch keys, press and slide to the key you

want, without switching key layouts. Tap ‘123’

then press and slide to the ‘#+=’ key too.
