  I'm sorry, we're really new to all of this, Paul, what is the vo key and 
where would it belocated on the bluetooth keyboard. This list is going to be 
very helpful, to navigate with the keyboard.  right now with the keyboard we 
have I use it to get further down the list under different areas, such as when 
I went into settings for sounds to the ringtones and other  areas of the phone 
by arrowing right. Is the nav key a certain key on the keyboard as well. 
Learning how to go word by word would be great, and character by character to 
find out how to spell a word. Thank you.

    Joe,

     

    I have this document, hopefully it is helpful. I believe most if not all of 
these keystrokes still work.

     

     

    Use VoiceOver keyboard commands to navigate the screen, select items, read 
screen contents, adjust the rotor, and perform other VoiceOver actions. For

    the commands, you can use the Control-Option key combination or the Caps 
Lock key, abbreviated in the list that follows as “VO.” (To choose a modifier

    key, go to Settings > General > Accessibility > VoiceOver > Modifier Keys.)

     

    You can use VoiceOver Help to learn the keyboard layout and the actions 
associated with various key combinations. VoiceOver Help speaks keys and 
keyboard

    commands as you type them, without performing the associated action.

    Subject: Using a keyboard with IOS

     

    Good Morning

     

    With all this talk about Bluetooth keyboards. I have pondered delving into 
using one. Any good resources for tutorials to get started with learning how to 
navigate with a keyboard. Names or links to resources would be greatly 
appreciated.

     

    Thanks

    Joe
