how to use the item chooser, complete instructions
Hi, Here are complete instructions for the item chooser. The item chooser lists and filters all items on the screen and is most useful on web pages or apps with large lists of content. To open the item chooser, do a double finger tripple tap, or press space plus I on a braille display, or control option I on a bluetooth keyboard. The contents of the screen will display as a list with a search box on top. This search box should auto focus and allow you to start typing a string, but sometimes you have to double tap it to start typing depending on the peripherals you have connected. Slowly begin typing in the edit box. As you type each letter, focus will return to the edit box. This is why it's a good idea to take it slow. As you type a string, all items that don't contain that string will disappear. For example, if you are looking for jonny appleseed, typing jon, app, or see will find jonny appleseed. As you type, voiceover should report the number of items left in the chooser. When the number is something you can live with, flick right from the search box. This is one reason why focus is set there after each letter you type. Another is I suppose that the screen keeps refreshing and changing and the search box is a good point of reference. When you find the item you want, listen for an extra beat and voiceover will tell you where on the screen the item is located so that you can try and find it without the item chooser next time. This is particularly useful on the IPad which has so much real-estate that sometimes you use the item chooser just to keep from having to grope around the screen all day. Double tap the item and voiceover will set focus there. you can then take whatever action is required such as double tapping if the item is a link or a button, or read from current position if you are in the middle of an article. hope this helps and isn't too verbose. i'm sort'a enjoying my friday night. :) Erik Burggraaf Follow my series of articles about setting up a small business through the ontario disability support program at http://www.erik-burggraaf.com/blog Ebony Consulting toll-free: 1-888-255-5194 or on the web at http://www.erik-burggraaf.com -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the "VIPhone" Google Group.

Re: how to use the item chooser, complete instructions
Hallo, This is interesting: recently, we have been discussing the worth of a search facility in documents as being one of the compelling reasons for spending fairly big bucks for an app, the name of which escapes me just now, but which was developed for VIP/VO users of the iPhone/iPad. Was it from AFB? anyway, I just tried the item chooser when in a book in text format using iLike2Read and it worked! It appears that you can use the Item chooser to search within large text files. I don't know about other reading apps such as iBooks, so will be interested to learn more. This is a useful tool IMHO, Sandy.
