-*Using a Dvorak keyboard layout on a smartphone (for actual typing, not voice commands) is possible, but the very features that make it desirable in a physical touch-typing environment are drawbacks on a swipe-enabled keyboard. A placement designed to alternate a typist's left and right hands requires the finger of a swipist to travel back and forth across the keyboard more often. Fitting commonly-used letters onto the typist's home row reduces finger movement but makes many words the swipist enters indistinguishable. On a QWERTY swipe keyboard, four English words can be entered by swiping right to left from P to T: "pot", "pit", "put", and "pout"; however, setting the layout to Dvorak causes this to happen with many more common sets of words.

For example, swiping right to left from S to O, and left to right from O to T could be any of: "soot", "snot", "snout", "stout", "shot", "shoot", and "shout", because the commonly-used letters N, T, H, and U lie on the homerow in the path of travel. Poor aim, like overshooting the O to hit E before turning around, adds a whole other set of words to confuse the spell-checker further.
