Do you feel left behind when it comes to texting because you think your fingers are too chubby?
“Fat fingers” joins “bad eyesight” as reasons people can’t type a text message. The average person texts 20-30 messages per day, and not all of them have thin fingers.
Here are some alternate ways you can send text messages, instant messages and emails on your smartphone:
- use a soft touch stylus, a writing tool that provides more precision and looks like a ballpoint pen.
- use custom apps such as iMean for iPhones and Big Buttons Keyboard for Android phones.
- use SwiftkeyX predictive typing app for the Android.
- use speech-to-text systems for voice dialing and messaging.
- get a phone with a Qwerty keyboard, as it’s roomier and you get more tactile precision.
Remember, a big phone and big screen doesn’t mean a big keyboard. But at least you have options now for staying connected.
