[Blindtlk] Questions about Pages

[Chris Nusbaum]

Well, as a VoiceOver user, screen size is irrelevant to me. I could use a laptop, but the iPhone, as others have pointed out, is much more portable. I use a Braille display connected with my iPhone, so this eliminates the issues with trying to hear the instructor in one ear and the screen reader in the other.

>> Hi Everyone,

>> So I've started to use Pages and AccessNote on my iPhone for wordprocessing for school.  Tonight I encountered two issues, both of which are probably matters of a beginner missing something, but which are causing me to take much more time on my homework than it should.  I know many students are abandoning the old notetakers for Braille displays and iOS devices, so there must be workarounds for these.

For example, if I am answering questions based on an article, how can I switch quickly between the article and the questions without losing my place in either? Currently I'm having to go back to the home screen of the app, find the document, scan down to find my place, then edit it. Doing this many times is making homework take forever.  There must be a shortcut, but I'm missing it.  Any tips?
>> 
>> Also, I noticed today that, when I'm trying to edit something on the second page of a document, the second page does not show when I double tap on its text field.  Instead, my cursor is focused on the first page again and the second page is not even visible.  I called Apple and attempted to talk with their accessibility department, but I'm not sure who they transferred me to.  They're stumped, so I'm hoping you guys can enlighten me.  Thanks in advance for any help you can give.
