Hi Esther,
Thank you so much for this really helpful.
The vision Australia site is a revelation.

Hi Rex and Niamh,
Try the Vision Australia website for Instructional podcasts for using the
iPad with VoiceOver:
http://www.visionaustralia.org/info.aspx?page=2303
These were produced when the iPad 1 came out, so they won't cover the new
features specific to iOS 5, but they'll help with the orientation.
Another thing is that you can check is the Apple Web Accessibility site
for the iPad:
http://www.apple.com/accessibility/ipad/vision.html
That includes the link to the accessible HTML version of the iPad user
guide:
http://help.apple.com/ipad/5/voiceover/en/
That guide also appears as a bookmark in the version of Safari loaded on
your device, or you can follow the instructions I posted about a week ago
on how to save a fast access link to a particular section of the guide as
an icon on your home screen for easy access.
I use the secondary Mail Archive for this list to search for recent posts.
Go to the web page at:
http://www.mail-archive.com/mac-access@mac-access.net
If you type a search into text box like:
from: Esther iPad user guide
and press return, you'll find a Google like list of links to matching
posts that I made on the subject, sorted by relevancy. You can also just
type in "iPad user guide" and press return, but in this case, since I know
I wrote a post on the subject, adding the argument "from:" (i.e., the word
"from" followed by a colon, and then the name of the poster), will narrow
the search results.
Here's the top matching web page link when I typed in "iPad User Guide"
• HTML versions of iOS 5 User Guides in different languages [was Re: iPod
Touch IOS 5 User Guide]:
http://www.mail-archive.com/mac-access@mac-access.net/msg04374.html
HTH. Cheers,
Esther
