[Electronics-talk] Project Ray/Odin Mobile Smartphone

[Christopher Chaltain]

You can use this form of typing on the iPhone as well. It's called touch 
typing on the iPhone.

There's also something called the split tap, which you can use on the 
iPhone instead of the double tap. Once you hear the object you want, 
leave your finger on that object and just tap the screen with another 
finger.
