Hi Lana!
The main advantage is that it can be a little more accurate, and
particularly if it's a thin pen, it can give you a bit better view of
the screen. I know I have a game on my phone where you have to drag a
dot from the bottom to the top, and there are balls floating randomly
around - I find it much, much easier to do that game with a pen because
I can see where I'm ducking and weaving around the balls.
Also in apps which you can hand write in (there are some which convert
your handwriting to type and actually seem to do a good job of it -
though whether it's faster or easier is another thing), it feels much
more natural to anyone who learnt to write with a pen.
With something like the S-Pen or other tablets which might be able to
use a particularly small stylus, it could also allow for finer control
in things like drawing apps. I know I used to play one of those
pictionary type games with a friend who used to draw fantastic drawings,
because she used a stylus (stylus / pen / whatever you want to call it)
- I think she was also a much better drawer than me, but she did say it
made it much easier.
Probably most of the benefits are more for those looking at the screen -
if you are relying totally on Talkback, then arguably there might not be
as much benefit, except perhaps for finer control maybe if you have
particularly big fingers? I'd be curious to hear from any speech only
users who have tried a stylus?
Regards
Quentin.
