Whenever I explain my #research at Google into mobile text editing, I'm usually met with blank stares or a slightly hostile "Everyone can edit text on their phones, right? What's the problem?"

Text editing on mobile isn't ok. It's actually much worse than you think, an invisible problem no one appreciates. I wrote this post so you can understand why it's so important.

The invisible problem – Scott Jenson

@scottjenson huh. I can see why any of these things can feel problematic, but to me all of them are like complaining that some tiles on a pedestrian path are misaligned, while there is also sinkhole the size of several cars in it.

Writing text fast and writing text without errors are two entirely separate things for me. And generally things that need copying are somewhere that can't be copied in the first place, making copying and pasting a moot point.

@scottjenson In the time it took to write this toot I could have opened my computer, found this toot, responded to it and had a better experience than writing text on a touch screen ever will be.
