Entering and Editing Text
When you enter an editable text field, you can use the onscreen keyboard or an
external keyboard connected to iPhone to enter text.
There are two ways to enter text in VoiceOver—standard typing and “touch” typing.
With standard typing, you select a key, then double-tap the screen to enter the
character. With touch typing, you touch to select a key and the character is entered
automatically when you lift your finger. Touch typing can be quicker, but may require
more practice than standard typing.
