I know - think since/from 4.3, you can review by letter using volume rocker 
control, but, this one can't be upgraded yet/at this stage, so let's 
see...<smile>

    Well, the issue for me on android units is specifically that since am 
running jellybean 4.1 on my most modern unit, I can't really edit text too 
easily in terms of navigating character by character, etc., and I'm one of 
those who tries to make sure am happy with spelling, grammar, etc. myself, and 
also turn off things like automatic suggestions, etc., but, yes, on a standard 
PC keyboard think my typing speed ranges from like 50 words per minute up to 
above 80 depending on what am busy with, and how I feel, etc., but, helps that 
have been using computer keyboards for over 30 years now, and on my android 
phone also have it set to PC keyboard layout, etc., and while am not that fast 
on that unit, honestly, I don't do much more than use it as slightly more of a 
PDA/gadget than a phone, and do most of my online/digital activity on full-on 
PC's anyway.

    Stay well

      Got to be honest, I use it Waymore than I probably should, but for me it 
is much faster than typing on an on-screen keyboard or even a standard computer 
keyboard. It is just a lot easier for me to speak it because I'm faster , And 
for me, the few mistakes it may occasionally make are well worth the saved  
time.

        Although honestly don't use it too often/much, when focused in/on an 
edit field, there's a button which is part of on-screen keyboard to activate 
voice input, and then you sort of tap on another on-screen button to get it to 
start listening, and tap same place to stop it, and on my one unit where have 
tried it a bit, I have it set to south african english as voice input language, 
and seems to work well enough most of the time depending on subject matter, 
but, like said, really don't use it consistently/seriously as such.
