Control
Here:
•
You can set the duration of the long press in 3 options (normal, longer,
longest).
•
You can make adjustments to the keyboard:
•
Repeating when writing characters will read back what you have typed.
The available options are repeat after word after space, repeat sentence
after space, repeat whole text after space, and no repetition.
•
Reading when deleting characters with the available options Read next
character or Read deleted character.
•
You can turn off touch with second finger: If this option is activated, you
don't need the second finger to confirm a typed letter. The letter will be
written after one finger has been removed from the screen. This option
requires that you find the letters while sliding one finger over the
screen. The second finger is needed only to find the next letter on a key
For example, you have to tap P three times to find R, but if you just
want to write P, you slide over the keyboard until you find it. When you
remove your finger, P will immediately be written.
