It is very handy, and what a perfect set of instructions for it. -----Original Message----- From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Smiling? Sent: Tuesday, October 8, 2024 1:09 AM To: [email protected] Subject: RE: The iPhone Dial Pad, Back on Top, After All These Years!
If you know what the letter Z as in zebra looks like in the alphabet, that is the gesture that you want to use otherwise, just do a small quick left to right, then without lifting, go back to the left and finish it off with again without lifting going back to the right. So without lifting after starting the gesture, start from left to right, Then go back to the left and finish it off with Going back to the right once again and the movements do not need to be all that large at all, maybe a quarter to a third of an inch each if even that. If you find that you still have difficulties, I would recommend going to the VoiceOver tutorial and simply practicing because it is a handy gesture to have and to use definitely. -----Original Message----- From: [email protected] <[email protected]> On Behalf Of Joshua Hendrickson Sent: Monday, October 7, 2024 21:48 To: [email protected] Subject: Re: The iPhone Dial Pad, Back on Top, After All These Years!
