[NJTechDiv] Learning to type on the iPhone

[Lori Falk]

wGood morning,

You will want to go into settings/general/keyboard and review the options there. You may want to turn off predictive text and auto correction as well.
You may also want to turn off the slide to type   feature. Especially, if you are using voiceover touch typing. This is a new feature and it takes time to master it.

I hope this helps.
