If you use your thumbs to type, you will love this. All you need to do is tap and hold the keyboard button on the bottom right hand side, the one you normally use to hide the keyboard. A pop up menu will appear, choose the split option. Splitting the keyboard also provides access to hidden keys that were not there before.
2. Shake to get rid of Errors, Yup, shake like an etch-a-sketch
It is crazy, but, you ca really undo typing errors by shaking your iPad. If you make a mistake while typing just hold it up and give it a vigorous shake (hold on tight). A box will then appear on your screen asking you if you would like to undo the error.
3. Speed up typing with Double tap of Space Bar
When typing, you can just tap the space bar twice on the keyboard and it stops and a single space will be produced, and the next letter will be capitalized. This trick can save you a ton of time. Also works on the iPhone.
4. Use your iPad as a Remote
Your iPad can control your computer and also act as a remote for controlling your video and music. All you need to do is to make sure that everything is working on the same Wi-Fi. You will need the Remote App. It is FREE.
5. Take a screenshot
To take a screenshot just press the home button and the sleep/wake button at the same time. The screen will flash and make a little camera sound . The screenshot will automatically be saved to your photos.
6. Yes, your iPad can read our loud
Your iPad can read any selectable text out loud? How cool is that? Just enable the Speak option. Go to Settings > General > Accessibility. Scroll down to Speak Selection, and turn it on. Use the slider control to set the speaking rate. Check it, because it reads really fast by default. Now you can select any text and the Speak Option appears and you can let your iPad read the text out loud. I use this with my earbuds all the time.
