[Nfb-krafters-korner] iPhone Touch Typing

[linda]

Thanks Dixie and Teresa,

I don't quite know how I did it, but I have my editing set for touch-typing.
I did the rotor and heard it say typing mode, but never heard it say touch
typing or anything else.  I was sort of flicking the screen, but the rotor
would go away when I lifted my fingers off of the screen.  Like I said, I
don't know how, but it is in touch-typing mode!  I love it.  However, I am
going to have to turn auto correct off as it really confuses me.

I'll have to try your idea for the web, Teresa.  I have not really tried to
get to the web accept for the Joann's website and Lion Brand.  I'll see if I
can get the rotor to give me the options you referred to.

Where did you guys learn so much about the i-Phone?  ? 

Also, Dixie, I have played Moxey and it is addicting!  My biggest problem is
I try to use my peripheral vision - like in everything!  I just have to
close my eyes and then it is not so stressful.  I want to play Blind Memory,
but am not clear from the instructions how to do it.  Are they saying that
you can set it up so that a double or triple tap on the Home Key as a toggle
that will disable Voice Over.  Would this work for using the touch screen to
enlarge photos - I know that option is not available in Voice Over.

As for the Chess and Checkers, I forget how to play!  I think you would have
to have a super memory to remember where all the pieces are on the board.

Blessings and thanks again for all your help!

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.
