Hi Jessica, Just to add to Ricardo's posts, the iPhone user guides that Apple supplies have a fairly good description of operations with VoiceOver under the Accessibility section. There are also several good podcasts at the VIsion Australia web site on their Adaptive Technology podcasts page: http://www.visionaustralia.org/info.aspx?page=2287 Many basic concepts for new users were outlined in their iOS podcasts for iOS 4 with VoiceOver, so don't just skip over these to go to the podcasts for the latest iOS 5 operating system.
Another excellent book is "Getting Started with the iPhone: An Introduction for Blind Users" by Anna Dresner and Dean Martineau, distributed by the National Braille Press: http://www.nbp.org/ic/nbp/IPHONE.html Although this guide was written for iOS 4, it covers most of the basic concepts and tips that you'll need. Anna is involved in writing an updated version. HTH. Cheers, Esther On Feb 23, 2012, at 3:46 AM, Ricardo Walker wrote: > Hi, > > Esther answered a similar question a while back.
