When it’s required, you’ll have a keyboard pop up to enter text on the iPhone. Two free layouts are built-into the operating system for VoiceOver users. There will be times when you don’t have an external Bluetooth keyboard, or when you just need to enter one or two fields of text. You’ll need to know how to type on the IPhone keyboard in either typing mode, as a VoiceOver user.
The standard layout allows you to find the letter you want by sliding your finger around until you hit it just right. Stop there with that finger and tap with another finger anywhere else to type that letter. Keep practicing until you get reasonable results. The More button gives you extra needed symbols.
The other layout is touch typing. Try this one second, after you use the rotor gestures by twisting two fingers like a radio dial until you hear typing mode. You’re on Standard, so swipe down with one finger to get Touch Typing. Twist again to set the rotor to something else to avoid accidentally switching modes. Now, the split tap won’t work. You need only find the desired letter by sliding around and lifting to select that letter.
Repeat the rotor process described above to switch between typing modes. Try both modes and get comfortable with each, or very good with one, so that you can type on the IPhone when you need to.
