English term or phrase: tap-tap-tapping
I would say that letter-writing really is an art which is very different from the tap-tap-tapping we do on our screens.

Texte émanant de la campagne conduite par le Service de la Poste irlandaise, en faveur de l'écriture manuscrite: l'envoi de cartes postales pendant la période de confinement.

tapement


Explanation:
je propose juste un autre mot, mais il semble étrange ^^' comme on dirait le tapement à la machine à écrire, sauf que c'est un clavier.

tap-tap-tapping the screen
Tapoter l'écran


Explanation:
La phrase est "tap-tap-tapping we do on our screens".
Il ne s'agit pas de clavier mais de l'écran.

Il me semble que les Offices Postaux (en Angleterre et en Irlande) utilisent un logiciel de type OCR pour la vérification des adresses écrites à l'ordinateur sur les lettres. La campagne menée par La Poste Irlandaise pour l'écriture manuscrite des lettres viserait la réduction du volume de travail du service en charge de la correction.

  -> Merci, c'est bizarre qu'il ait fallu attendre cinq réponses pour voir apparaître ce terme. Il me semble pourtant que c'est le plus courant.
