Somewhere In The Ether…

Do you use the double thumbed, speed bandit technique like the kids all seem to today or else are you, like me, a single finger plodding prodder?

(It has taken me about thirty minutes to type this on my phone!)

A spot you want me

Single finger... I keep attempting the drag across the keys technique, and it is significantly quicker, but then forget and revert.

My thumb is a blaze of blurred texting, moving faster than the eye can focus like that bit on the Superman films.

Then I go back and slowly and painfully correct the many MANY mistakes I made..

I'm giggling here - despite using a smartphone way more than a PC, it takes me a while to type out my message then re read due to stupid autocorrect or auto "in- correction"

sometimes with both hands. Using the Ipad however both hands all the time as it's larger.

Double digits for me unless one hand is otherwise occupied

I used to use a T9 keyboard which basically let me touch type again and I might go back to that actually because the stock keyboard buttons are waaaay too small

Two fingers, fairly slow, and I tend to drop the phone on my face a lot when texting in bed.

Diagonally Parked in a Parallel Universe

Both thumbs when typing on my phone, but I invariably have to correct stuff as I end up hitting more than one character at a time.

On my laptop, I touch-type.

Single finger as I cradle the phone in my other hand.

Even then I have to go back and proof read to correct the mistakes!

I can’t master the drag at all feels odd. Shifted over to voice notes mostly for people on WhatsApp and Facebook

I always hold my phone in my right hand, and swipe type with my right thumb. Only tap each letter if predictive text is playing up. Was a nightmare when I shut my thumb in a dates car door
