Have you tried writing using the iAWriter app? It has a wonderful keyboard and is a joy to use, I even enjoy writing using it on my iPhone but on IPad it's a real pleasure! Then just copy or cut and paste into whatever you need. Why Apple can't come up with a keyboard like that I don't know
No backspace?

I second the recommendation for iAWriter. It is a far cry from the ultimate solution, but it does allow you to type what you want with a backspace and forwards space key that many of us need. The downside is, of course, having to open a separate app and do your typing there and then cut and paste (like this post), but it often is worth it.

I as well hate having to use that spi glass thing and wait for the blue line and then fiddle to position it...by then I probably have to zoom to see the gosh darned thing.It's as irritating as having to use Granny language on the forum.By then I just delete and start again.Very annoying when you have to hunt and peck like I do.I tried to find a1writer in the App Store...no luck .

Hello Diane.
Ha! The "spy glass" is a heap of fun! Not!
It is a little easier if you use a stylus.

Hi Diane.
The black rubber tipped stylus don't slide as well as a finger.
But you can tap more accurately.
Plus you don't need to reach as far, thus your arms don't get as tired.
I practice left handed a lot so as to even out the wear on my old joints.

Easy Writer is another editor with lots of extra keys. It looks promising, but so far I haven't bothered learning how to use it. If I needed to type that much on my iPad, I'd grab the wireless keyboard that came with my iMac.

The newest version of iAWriter has changed the font, but it is easily readable on the iPad. At least my old eyes can read it just fine. I really haven't tried it on my iPhone, but I suspect that is where the complaints are coming from. It is fine on my iPad?
