As someone who has written thousands of programs I can a-test to this.
The first time was watching women type in checks at the Federal Reserve. They would keypunch with their right hand and flip checks with their left. They would never take their eyes off the checks. The error rate after a 40 hour week was negligible and they were FAST.
The second time was watching claims being entered on a mainframe at truck dealerships. Type type tab, type type tab. Again error rate was nothing.
New software is great but you need to know when to stop and leave a proven approach alone.
Personally I use the handheld for my “L” and phone app for lower level mainlines. Advantages to each and no clear winner.
