I'm curious about using dvorak on smartphones, isn't QWERTY is more suitable for use on smartphones due to larger distance between most used characters? dvorak tends to clump them and would make more chance to mistake on smartphones, doesn't it? (i used qwerty and dvorak before on android, now using MessageEase fulltime and dvorak on computers)
- dheera 11y agoI think the distance makes little difference on phones especially with 5-inch and larger screens where it's reasonably easy to peck accurately. What's most important is that the phone layout matches what you use most frequently on computers. If you use Dvorak all the time on computers it's a lot more convenient for your memory if your phone layout matches that as well.
- wodenokoto 11y agoI would disagree. When typing Danish on a phone I started realizing how many different words differs by a single neighboring keystroke on qwerty in Danish and how this is actually a big cause of typos. Qwerty really does shine on a smartphone, for English.
