Using the Slow Keys Accessibility Feature

The Slow Keys option will cause your Mac to wait for purposeful key presses before accepting input. This can help some users who have difficulty using keyboard. The option applies to modifier keys too, so each key needs to be pressed one at a time and held. You can also use this feature to give you audible feedback when you press a key.

    Is this option available on the iPad? I have frustration with a delay in printing letters on it but couldn't find a setting relating to "slow keys" in the Systems file.
    Thank you.

    Rosemary: Yes. Look in Settings, General, Accessibility, Keyboard, Slow Keys.
