Look into the MessagEase keyboard. It's IMO about the optimum available phone keyboard input. With a little practice you can touch-type naturally, though it's never going to be as fast as a full size keyboard of course.
Really the only downside is having to put a bit of effort into learning it, but for the amount of time I personally spend typing on the phone over the years, it's well worth it.
I also tried other keyboard formats. 8pen was kind of interesting, but I could never get it very consistent myself, it felt more like a gimmick.
- CarVac 7y agoI switched entirely over to MessagEase a few months ago. Getting deterministic results from typing still feels refreshing, even now. I'll second the recommendation.
- anchpop 7y agoA few years ago, there was a product on the play store called 8pen[0] which had a huge learning curve but was insanely useful. I was able to type while running on the treadmill, or with my phone under my desk in class. Unfortunately they took it off the play store for reasons I don't understand [0]: http://www.8pen.com/ http://www.8pen.com/
- kadoban 7y agoYeah 8pen was the one that first got me interested in alternative input methods. It was quite cool coming from boring horrible qwerty phone keyboards. I personally couldn't quite get it down, my consistency was very low. Still, sad to hear it's not available anymore, from what I heard it worked quite well for some.
