Hi Ali
Yes, not something I would use much, typing is much quicker for me. But it
is useful to know it exists. Would be curious to know how an Android
equivalent works too.
Kind regards,

Hi,
I found it 99.99% accurate, but, still prefer touch-type.

Thank you.

Hi Kevin
Yes, I got out of it what I put in. It is especially useful for learning to
sign your name if you are totally blind or near enough, and it works well
for finding an app quickly.
Kind regards,

I've found it very accurate on an iPhone to be honest. It would be much
slower to use for a sighted person compared to using the touch keypad though
and so probably wouldn't be used

Gave this a go on my iPad today with my sighted lad. It's accuracy is not
one hundred per cent and, suspecting this might be my poor letter shapes, I
got Scott to have a go and he had similar results. I'm also curious to know
why they put this in the Accessibility settings suite instead of making it
more generally and obviously available.

I had a look at a Samsung Galaxy Note tablet the other day, and it,
too, has a handwriting facility. I don't know how it compares with the IOS

Yes, this is a feature from I O S 7 that can be quite fun to
use. I
opened my phone app, selected the keypad tab and dialled a
number
using this function! Awesome!
