    • Learning the 'swipe up' shortcut on several keys such as comma and period.
    • Tap and hold on certain keys for alternate characters such as accented characters.
    • Mastering the Trackpad Mode on iOS 9.
    • Using the keyboard's shortcut bar.
    • Using the iOS system-wide Text Replacement feature
    • Adopting some of the more powerful iOS custom keyboards
