also use the cursor-right/left (drag left/right on key marked with 123/ABC) to move your cursor backward or forward. You can use this option to scroll by a page or a line

Drag & Return = Recall: Enables you to recall macros with a drag and return only.

Capitalize Automatically: Helps capitalize the beginning of sentences.

Done Button on Top: Self evident!

Blank Keyboard: Advance users requested this feature. It's great for practicing. It also makes you rely on your memory and not looking for the letters, thereby increasing your speed.

The following is a quick introduction to MessagEase.

Enter any of the most frequent letters (a, n, i, h, o, r, t, e, s) by simply tapping anywhere on its key. Since the keys are larger, it's much easier to target and tap these keys. 71% of times you'll be doing just that.
Enter any of the less frequent letters (q, u, p, b, j, d, g, c, q) by simply dragging from anywhere on the center key (O key) toward one of eight directions shown by that letter. For example, to enter "u" drag up from anywhere on the center key.
Enter any of the less frequent letters (v, l, x, m, f, w, y, k, y) by dragging from anywhere on the its key toward the center key. For example, to enter "v" drag down-right from anywhere on the top-left key.

 

Enter numbers by tapping on the number keys.

Enter special characters by dragging on their position on the number or letter keys. Drag from anywhere on its key toward the direction shown by that special character. For example, to enter "(" drag left from anywhere on the 4 or H key. Or, to enter "@" drag down-left from anywhere on the 6 or R key.

You can drag and return for more special characters, but that is covered in the manual. Read the manual!
