Standard Typing
Select a key on the keyboard by swiping left or right, then double-tap to enter the character. Or move your finger around the keyboard to select a key and, while continuing to touch the key with one finger, tap the screen with another finger.
VoiceOver speaks the key when you select it and again when you enter the character.
Touch Typing
Touch a key on the keyboard to select it, then lift your finger to enter the character. If you touch the wrong key, slide your finger to the key you want.
VoiceOver speaks the character for each key when you touch it. VoiceOver enters a character when you lift your finger.
Direct Touch Typing
Type the same as when VoiceOver is off. This mode turns off VoiceOver for typing only.
