Hi Desi, Bryan, and Others, Bryan gave a good summary of sources for the iPod Touch iOS 5 User Guide from the Apple help site and iBooks. You should have been able to download the PDF file by focusing on the link in the web page and pressing Option+Return. However, if you want to access copies of the User Guide in HTML format, here are the links for the iPod Touch, iPhone, and iPad iOS 5 User Guides: • iPod Touch User Guide for iOS 5: http://help.apple.com/ipodtouch/5/voiceover/en/ • iPhone User Guide for iOS 5: http://help.apple.com/iphone/5/voiceover/en/ * iPad User Guide for iOS 5: http://help.apple.com/ipad/5/voiceover/en/
For users wanting other languages, replace the two-letter language code at the end (e.g., "en" for English) with the combination for the language you want. Some examples: 'fr" for French "es" for Spanish "it" for Italian "de" for German "nl" for Dutch "ru" for Russian "ja" for Japanese "da" for Danish "fi" for Finnish "pt" for Portuguese "sv" for Swedish "nb" for Norwegian "ar" for Arabic "ko" for Korean "ro" for Romanian "sk" for Slovak "hr" for Croatian When I was first learning my way around VoiceOver gestures for the 3rd generation iPod Touch, I found it very helpful to put an icon link to the section of the guide dealing with "Accessibilty" or "VoiceOver" onto my home screen. Once you have opened the guide in Safari on your iPhone or iPod Touch and navigated through the links to a section you want quick access to, such as "VoiceOver Gestures" or just the "VoiceOver" section under "Accessibility", double tap the "Utilities" button at the bottom of your screen, just above the "Home" button. Double tap either the "Add Bookmark" button to add the guide as a bookmark to Safari, or double tap the "Add to Home Screen" button if you want to add an icon to access the user guide from your home screen. A similar process works for the iPad, except that the "Utility" button is found at the top of the Safari Screen, just before the Address field for Safari. For the iPod Touch iOS5 User Guide the direct link to the section on VoiceOver (in the English version of the HTML User Guide) is: http://help.apple.com/ipodtouch/5/voiceover/en/iph3e2e4218.html HTH.
