I don't type fast either on the phone and don't have the patience, so
use dictation mostly. Will have to check out a keyboard.

If it wasn't for a Bluetooth keyboard , I would not use a phone to type,
period.
I type entirely too much to use anything but a keyboard. Its constant.

Who says constant texting doesn't pay off? People can now type almost
as fast<https://userinterfaces.aalto.fi/typing37k/> on their
smartphones<https://www.cnet.com/topics/phones/best-phones/> as they
can on their computer keyboards, according to a new study from Aalto
University, University of Cambridge and ETH Zürich.
Researchers gave more than 37,000 volunteers an online typing test to
assess speed, errors and other factors related to typing on mobile
devices. The results? People who typed with two thumbs achieved an
average speed of 38 words per minute -- only about 25% slower than how
fast people go on keyboards.
Our fingers are likely to fly even faster in the future: As people use
physical keyboards less, the gap between typing speeds on keyboards
and phones is likely to shrink, the researchers said in a press release.
Meanwhile, study participants reported spending an average of about
six hours per day on their phones. One person managed to hit 85 words
per minute typing on a phone.
"Such large amount of experience transfers to the development of
typing skill and explains why young people, who spend more time with
social media, communicating with each other, are picking up higher
speeds," Anna Feit, a researcher at ETH Zürich and one of the study's
co-authors, said in the release.
The best predictor of performance was -- wait for it -- whether you
type with two thumbs, or one finger (does anyone still do that?).
Using autocorrect also increases your phone typing speed, though
manually choosing word suggestions doesn't, the researchers found. Age
is also a factor,
unsurprisingly: People between ages 10 and 19 typed about 10 words per
minute faster than people in their 40s.
