Speed Up Your iPhone Tapping Skills

Typing
One of the most common mistakes that new iPhone users is the hasty excitement of going straight to the iPhone without first knowing its real features. If you want to be efficient in using the iPhone, you must first learn how it works. One very important feature to begin with is into the iPhone keyboard’s anatomy.
Interacting with your iPhone is done mostly by tapping on the screen. Although your iPhone tapping skills may speed up in time, some techniques cannot be learned by simply browsing around your phone. Several functions of the iPhone keyboard should be unveiled for you to have a smooth and fast-flow typing. Let us expedite your know-how feeds while you take advantage of an exciting tapping prowess.

The iPhone touch-screen keyboard has unique features that you should get familiar with. It is annoying to have interruptions with recurrent typing errors. In order to keep your messages flowing, you must be concerned with how you type every single letter efficiently. Normally, letters are printed on the screen as you press them. With the iPhone, letters are printed as soon as you release your finger from the screen. The good thing about this behavior is that you can have time to correct your mis-pressed key by sliding your finger to the right key upon release.

Let’s also have a peek on the iPhone letter capitalization function. In capitalizing a letter, you can just tap the shift once then tap the letter. In case of capitalizing an entire word, double-tap on the shift key to lock capitalization. After typing the capitalized word, tap the shift key once to go back to single-letter capitalization mode.
In connection to double tapping the shift key, let me tackle a bit about other iPhone double-tap functions. On the whole, this function is mostly used for zooming in or out. Once you double-tap, on the screen while watching movies, browsing on pictures or maps, the object or area where you tapped usually gets magnified twice its size. If you have your phone with you, why not give it a try now?!

Finally, our last agenda is on the auto-correct function. Many people find this feature a useful and quick way to construct messages. When this option is on, it will suggest words as you type them. There are three ways for you to accept a word suggestion from your iPhone: by tapping return, space or a punctuation mark on the keyboard. You can reject the suggested word by simply finishing typing the word and then tapping on the word when it is completed. The iPhone has an auto-learn function, too. This means that it is analyzing which words you accept or reject while typing. When you type the same word frequently over a span of time and always reject the auto-correct suggestion, the iPhone starts learning that you are typing the word intentionally. As you do this repeatedly, you will notice the auto-correct feature voluntarily accepts the word as it is and will stop offering suggestions. Be reminded also when you type a complete word out in two different occasions, and did tap on them, the iPhone will automatically add it to its dictionary. It may take a few weeks to store your most commonly used words in the dictionary but once done, your fingers will soon type as if they are flying from word to word.

You may also try a typing tutor. You can get TypingWeb, a free typing tutor for your iPhone and iPod Touch. You can download it from Apple app store or iTunes.
