Thanks, Linda, I didn't know of some of these resources wither, and while I
have had mine for about three years, I believe, I haven't begun to really
know and learn all of its wonderful capabilities.
Many thanks,
Darla

Hello 

The rotor is an invisible or virtual dial in the middle of the screen.
Using two fingers spread slightly apart turn in a circle and you will hear
your options changing.  When you hear speech rate flick up or down to adjust
the speed.  When finished turn the virtual dial to move to another item so
that you will not accidentally change the speech rate.

Hadley School for the Blind has seminars called iFOCUS on their website
www.hadley.edu as well as YouTube videos.  Search for Hadley School on
YouTube and all the videos should come up in a list.  Just skip the videos
that talk about dialing since that video would be aimed at iPhone users.

We all had to play around with the device and learn to use it.  So any
question you have, just know we are here and happy to help.
Linda
