Thanks to Jeff with Blind Abilities for posting this link to his audio tutorial
in how to use and benefit from the "text replacement" option that is built in
to the Apple iOS software.
Here are the notes from his tutorial. I would encourage you to download the
Free Blind Abilities App.

iPhone 101 demonstrations and reviews brings you another demo and this one is
all about the Keyboard shortcut, Text Replacement. With just a couple of
letters for a shortcut, you can populate the dialog box or page with commonly
used phrases, names, hashtags, email addresses and anything you desire.

Head on into the shortcut keyboard settings and check out Text Replacement. In
this demo Jeff Thompson will “add” a phrase and a shortcut that he can use at
any time, saving him a lot of typing. You can use this for quotes at the end of
messages, common sayings in Facebook, and signature sayings that you want to
add at the end of emails.
And with just two letters and the space bar, here is one of mine:
xc (space) “The Only Full Bigger Than the Fool Who Says He Knows It All, Is the
Fool Who Argues with Him”

The feacher is called Text Replacement
go to settings, swipe down to general, and then to keyboard. You will find text
replacement.
You can create the phrase you wanted to say or type in and put in your shortcut
text.
here is a demonstration podcast from Blind Abilities:

Hi Diane,
My wife and I both have the SE 2020 phones, she's sighted and I'm
totally blind. Will your steps work for both non Voiceover users and Voiceover
users? If you can answer this, it will definitely be truly appreciated! Thank
you very much.
Take care. Mike. Sent from my iBarstool. Go dodgers!

Shirley, go to settings, go to general, go to keyboard, double tap on
keyboard, swipe over to text replacement, double tap on that, you will see add,
double tap on that, swipe over to phrase you will type your email address, then
go over to I think it says shortcut if I remember correctly and double tap on
that and put in what you want every time you
type your email
