[Nfb-krafters-korner] iPhone Touch Typing

[Theresa Taylor]

I found I couldn't get that gesture down...so to activate and scroll through my roter I use my thumb and index finger. It is like I am turning a knob. Everything else I do the same. One thing about the web I found really helpful was finding form fields with using the roter...I believe it is even faster than Jaws...because unless I don't know the command...you just have to look for edit fields...where this gives you a list of them.
