Iphone Keyboard Tips And Tricks

Whenever a new technology emerges you need to learn how to use it. Sometimes this is easier said that done as there aren't too many resources around to help you. One example of this is the Apple iPhone. When you first get an iPhone you will no doubt spend many hours working out how to use all the exciting new technologies inside this phone. Not everything can be learned simply by playing with the phone and one example of this is how to use the keyboard.

With a feature as unique as the iPhone's touch screen keyboard there are several things you need to learn to help you type your messages quickly. By learning these techniques you will be able to type quickly and without error and you will wonder how you managed with out it. For example, when you want to write a letter you simply tap on it but you need to be aware that the letter isn't placed on the screen until you lift off your finger.

This is actually a very good idea. When using a computer keyboard if you press the wrong key you need to hit backspace and then type in the correct letter. With the iPhone you can simply slide across to the correct letter and lift off your finger to place it on the screen. Once you get used to this you will see how much of a time saver it is.

The keyboard features an automatic correction feature that suggests words as you type. If you want to accept the suggested word then all you need to do is tap either return, space or a punctuation mark. If the suggested word isn't the one you wanted then simply carry on typing the words you intended to.

By writing out the same word two times and them tapping both of them you can add the word to the dictionary so it will be recognized and suggested in the future. Normally you can expect it to take a couple of weeks to fully train your iPhone with your most common words but once you've done that you'll find that typing will be very quick and easy.

The final tips is to do with upper and lower case character. To capitalize the first letter of a word simply tap shift and the letter you want. To write an entire word in upper case you need to go into the settings and switch on the "Enable Caps Lock" option. Once you've done that you will find that double tapping the shift key switches you to caps lock mode and you can enter a full word in upper case.
