hi
the way I do it on my phone is as follows:
I use 'direct touch typing' on my phone with voiceover.
ever since my IPhone I can type fast on my phone. I already know how the QWERTY keyboard is layed out since I use it on my laptop all day long. so I imagine it in my head as on my phone as wel it'd be layed out in a similar way. and vo is very amazing as compared to android with the keyboard. so in short, if I want to type the letter 'K,' in my head I know where's it. so I go for the same location on my phone and find it.
um I hope I'm able to explain it properly.. it's a bit hard to write how I do it :) hope you're able to get what I'm saying.
u can also use slide to type.
If you speak any language which uses qwerty keyboards, you have done half of the task. The other half is getting used to the keyboard portion of the screen, the distance between letters and these stuff. It's incredibly annoying at first, but after some time you'll start to type faster and more confidently.
Hello there, The way I learned two use direct typing in the iOS keyboard what is by turning the feature typing feedback found in the voiceover/accessibility settings. First, I had turned on to give me feedback for each character I typed and now I am to the point where I only use feedback for each word. It takes practice and time in order for you to learn where each key is. I hope this helps.
It is possible to touch-type relatively quickly using the QWERTY keyboard but I find it much more efficient and accurate to use Braille screen input. If you know Braille and are proficient at typing it, acclimating to this method of text entry might be beneficial.
ever since I discovered there is something called BSI on my IPhone 6s, I have tried to learn it but cannot for some reason. it'd be so benificial for me to type pascodes when the touch ID fails to recognize my finger print
It's very hard to describehow to type using braille screen input on an iPhone in words but I'll try my best. Start by holding your phone in landscape mode with the screen facing away from you (so that the home button is to the right). Make sure you have a good understanding of which fingers on your hands correspond to which dots in a Braille cell (left index finger is dot 1, right index finger is dot 4, left middle is dot 2, right middle is dot 5, etc). When typing in Braille screen input, your left index, middle and ring fingers will be arranged in 2 vertical columns, with your left index, middle and ring fingers on the left of the screen and your right index, middle and ring fingers on the right side of the screen. Your thumbs will be on the back of your phone to stabilize it. Make sure that your hands are spaced far enough apart so the phone can recognize that your hands are separated. If this is the case, you edon't need to calibrate your finger positions (calibrating is moreso for bigger devices like iPads where there is more room for error). Once you master typing individual characters, here are a few more helpful things to know. To enter a space, swipe right with one finger while in braille screen input mode (just like how you would to swipe through your home screen). To delete a character, flick left with 1 finger. To delete a word, flick left with 2 fingers. To enter a new line, flick right with 2 fingers. To send a message in an app such as Messages or Google hangouts, you can swipe upwards with 3 fingers while in braille screen input mode. Lastly, your phone screen only accepts 5 fingers touching it at once, so if you need to type all 6 dots (a full cell or for sign), you will need to type 5 dots at once (I personally type 1, 2, 3, 4, and 6 first), lift a few of your fingers (I lift dots 4 and 6 without letting go of the dots 1, 2, and 3), and enter the last dot (dot 5 in this case). The phone will announce that a full cell is entered. I know this has been a very long post, but I hope this has been helpful for you. :)
Give the Flicktype keyboard a try. With this keyboard you only have to touch approximately where each letter is on the keyboard. Then when you perform a single finger swipe right, flicktype guesses the word you were trying to type and speaks it when using Voiceover. If it isn't the word you wanted, then you simply flick down to select from a number of other choices that might match what you were trying to type. Usually Flictype gets it right on the first try. It is very quick to type this way and also has other features for editing, etc.

I forgot that
That's what I did when I started.
