Dear All, I agree with Erik: where is David Pogue's blind twin brother who could write us a "missing manual" for vo? Is there a way to create a macvisionaries wiki where people could contribute to a set of how- to's, maybe by beginning with a list of FAQs? I realize that macvisionaries archives probably contains a lot of valuable info, but wouldn't it be great to have the wisdom collected in one place and updated? I'd be happy to help in such an effort, with my main contribution being an endless string of pathetic newbie questions. But we all have to start somewhere, right?
For more immediate help, Robert Carter of the Tech Doctor podcasts directed me to Mike Arrigo's podcasts on the ipod touch and vo at Blind Cool Tech: http://www.blindcooltech.com/ Best, cathyk On Oct 5, 7:58 am, erik burggraaf <e...@erik-burggraaf.com> wrote: > Thanks Esther, > > You wrote: > > The more useful accessible HTML version of the iPhone User Guide (that you > can access from anywhere) is at:http://help.apple.com/iphone/4/voiceover/ > This seems to be what I'm after, but it renders a page not found error. > > I did some googling and found a snippit of documentation which basicly > outlined the voiceover gestures and nothing else.
