A physical keyboard turned out to be unnecessary.

The software keyboard became far superior, for input speed. And accuracy, with the use of spell-checking and auto-correction, for most cases.

The auto-correction feature allows you to type faster with a software keyboard. It corrects it on the fly. But you must re-read what you typed, to ensure that it is correct.

The annoying part is when it selects the wrong word.

The other useful feature is the auto-suggestion, which allows you to tap on the word that you want to write. This sometimes help to reduce your typing.

But overall, I find the software keyboard allows me to type far faster on a smartphone, than a physical keyboard ever could.



Wanna know how I'm 100% certain that your job and hobbies does not involve typing beyond casual chat messages?
