iPad Typing Tip: Use Three Fingers
If you’re a touch typist, this is an improvement over the one-finger method, which feels like falling back to hunt and peck. Getting your thumbs and pinkies out of the way helps to speed up your typing and improve accuracy. But you have to look at the virtual keyboard, which may take some getting used to. I’ve improved my iPad typing up to around 30 words per minute, which is much better. I wouldn’t want to type a novel this way, but it’s perfect for replying to an email.
An excellent tip from Randy Murray. I do try and use my thumb when I type straight to screen (as in without a Bluetooth keyboard) and it’s almost always the cause of my cack-handed typos.
The iPad, eh? Not just a new way of reading, but a new way of typing too. I can’t keep up.
