Hello Esther Thank you so much for the detailed explanation and pointing me to some resources. It looks like I have a lot to learn, switching over from my familiar key-stroke oriented VO to the gesture-oriented VO. Hopefully, I will have my sanity intact. :) mani On Sep 13, 3:22 pm, Esther wro

Hi Mani, You should probably review the basic information in the iPad manual, that can be found under the Bookmarks of Safari. But let me first answer your question. When you double tap in an edit field, such as on the address bar, VoiceOver will say either "insertion point at start" or

Mani With vo turned on tap the address text field, you should hear the address spoken (google.com for example).double tap a slide your finger a bit to the right and you should find the "clear text button". Give that a try. Aloha, Charlie Check out our website www.giantdolphin.com On Sep

Hello Holly: On the address bar, how do I clear the existing text? I managed to turn on touch typing using the rotor and start typing but it seems to append to the end or prepend to the beginning, which gives me a wrong URL in either case. I have a strange feeling, I am doing something grossly wr

Charlie, I have very limited vision. I do see the address bar and tap it (VO confirms it is the address bar). I can't see the cursor or the blue line. Is there a specific gesture for the keys on the keyboard in order to get the characters to the text field? Can you please tell me the exact sequen

Mani, If you have vision you know that the address bar is at the top of your iPad screen. If you want to enter text there tap the text box, you see the cursor (blinking blue line) and the keyboard will pop up at the bottom as you described. Hope I have not added to your frustration. Aloha,

Hi Mani! I do not have an I pad! But have you tried interacting with the text field first, then try typing! Hope that works, if i'm wrong a I pad user will probably set you right! :-] Colin On 13 Sep 2010, at 17:51, mani wrote: > Hello there: > How do you enter text using Voiceover? For example in

Hello there: How do you enter text using Voiceover? For example in the address bar in Safari? Or any text field in a form? I know the keyboard appears in the bottom but when I type the letters, I don't see the letters transferring to the text field. I am getting frustrated trying to figure this ou
