ÂÂ Standard typing: Select a key on the keyboard by flicking left or right, then doubletap to enter the character. Or move you finger around the keyboard to select a key and, while continuing to touch the key with one finger, tap the screen with another finger to enter the character. VoiceOver speaks the key when it's selected, and again when the character is entered. ÂÂ Touch typing: Touch a key on the keyboard to select it, then lift your finger to enter the character. If you touch the wrong key, move your finger on the keyboard until you select the key you want. VoiceOver speaks the character for each key as you touch it, but doesn't enter a character until you lift your finger. Note: Touch typing works only for the keys that actually enter text. Use standard typing for other keys such as Shift, Delete, and Return. VoiceOver tells you when it thinks you've misspelled a word.

VoiceOver makes a sound when the insertion point moves, and speaks the character that the insertion point moves across. When moving the insertion point by word, VoiceOver speaks each word as you move across it. When moving forward, the insertion point is placed at the end of the traversed word, before the space or punctuation that follows it. When moving backward, the insertion point is placed the end of the word preceding the traversed word, before the space or punctuation that follows it. To move the insertion point past the punctuation at the end of a word or sentence, use the rotor to switch back to character mode. When moving the insertion point by line, VoiceOver speaks each line as you move across it. When moving forward, the insertion point is placed at the beginning of the next line (except when you reach the last line of a paragraph, when the insertion point is moved to the end of the line just spoken). When moving backward, the insertion point is placed at the beginning of the line that's spoken. Delete a character: Select the , then double-tap or split-tap. You must do this even when touch typing. To delete multiple characters, touch and hold the Delete key, then tap the screen with another finger once for each character your want to delete. VoiceOver speaks the character as it's deleted. If you have Use Pitch Change turned on, VoiceOver speaks deleted characters in a lower pitch. Select text: Set the rotor to Edit, flick up or down to choose Select or Select All, then double tap. If you chose Select, the word closest to the insertion point is selected when you double-tap. If you chose Select All, the entire text is selected. 198 Chapter 27 Accessibility
