Keyboard accessibility on the Apple watch series 7?

watchOS and Apple Watch Apps
hello,
I'm wondering if anyone on here has had experience with the keyboard on the Apple watch series 7?
Does it work with voiceover?
Does it allow, "slide to type?"
Any & all feedback is greatly appreciated.
Hi there, as the above contributor has mentioned. I’m also finding it difficult to do any forms of slide to type and you have to double tap on the screen which is not ideal and unfortunately on the series 7 the dictation is not so brilliant either. I’m sure things will improve as the watchOS improves but I’m hoping that they do manage to find a way of having slide to type feature on there very soon.
Ok let me get this straight here. The only way to type with VO is by double tapping each letter? Yeah there's split typing, but it's basically the same?
So no slide to type, 10 finger typing or even direct touch typing like I use on my iPhone?
If that's the case, I will purchase one of the earlier models, this would be one of those inconsistent things apple is famus for these days.

Series 7
When it pop up, it also does in the iPhone. I use the one in the phone. It is hard to use the one in the watch
