- nine_k 6y agoIt is likely hard to impossible to touch-type on a cellphone: the keyboard is always on the screen, so the eyes (nit touch) constantly help adjust fingers' positions. This does allow for impressive speed, though, especially with autocorrect.
- Broken_Hippo 6y agoThe problem with this is twofold: 1. There isn't much to touch on a screen except the screen. On a keyboard, some keys are different sizes and we often have a key that allows us to know proper finger placement (mine is j and f: I've used keyboards with a dot on d and k too). 2. Cell phone layout isn't as standardized as a qwerty keyboard. Sure, the letters are in the same spot, but symbols aren't always there. We have other methods to quicken touch screen typing, though: Swipe-friendly keyboards and predictive text.
