How To Make Typing On A SmartPhone Keyboard Easy And Expressive

Since the advent of cellular phones, we have come a long way. From feature phones in the earlier times, where typing a message would prove to be a hassle of the task, we have now a handheld device that is equally smart to a computer, however, less in screen size. And this (smaller) screen size, practically, makes typing a bit sluggish for a few people.

But, as it is a different device, you need to follow a certain and specifically different approach to input your information. Below, we have mentioned 4 effective techniques to make your typing on a smartphone keyboard easy and effective:

Understand The Difference With Laptop & Desktop Keyboards

You may be very proficient in typing on a keyboard attached to a desktop or a laptop, but when it comes to typing on a smartphone, the parameters change radically. Apart from having a smaller size of the keyboard, the touch interface also can create a bit of a problem for many. Understanding this difference and implementing a thorough practice and approach, specifically suited to phone’s keyboard will help you get better with time.

Work Through Your Strength

Not all people type in a similar manner, and therefore you need to adopt an approach where you can maximize your personal strength for typing easily and effectively. Figure out whether typing with one finger is your strength, or using both the thumbs or so. The same goes for when you are using a tablet.

Use Typing Shortcuts

Sometimes typing shortcuts can help you convey more with a few words. There is a wide range of shortcuts for certain phrases and sentences that you can use. Yes, you will need some time to learn and get used to them, but in the end, it will all be worth the knowledge.

Use Predictive, Emoji Keyboards

The pre-installed keyword that comes with your Android or iOS device is good, but is limited in features when it comes to creating expressive communication, and improve the typing speed. There are advanced, third-party keyboards, that come with predictive GIF’s, analytical assessment (based on Artificial Intelligence), which evaluates your typing and conversation behaviour and helps to input text next time by predicting what you are trying to convey in your message. Such keyboards also come with a wide range of cute emojis, stickers, which help to give an emotion-based touch to your communication and express more without typing long sentences.

So, adopting a refined approach towards the specific keyboard typing, and making use of Android and iPhone emojis through third-party virtual keyboards, you can effectively improve your typing skills and engage in more expressive communication.
