questin about navigating emails using iphone gestures
I know how to find the edit button and to double tap on the message I want to eventually mark, delete, or move, but how do I get the phone to scroll to the next page of messages? It seems to me that while reading subject lines and selecting messages, I'm only able to see six messages at a time. I'm trying to learn iphone gestures, because in some cases it's inconvenient to carry a keyboard. I have the verbatim keyboard but the hinges came apart and it doesn't look like it can be fixed, and it's cumberson to type with 2 halfs of a keyboard, though they are attached by a cable of some sort. I haven't checked into alternative folding keyboards yet due to funds. I like the mini bluetooth keyboard ok, but I had carpel tunnel surgery on my wrists some time back, and that keyboard is agrivating to my wrists sometimes. sorry this is so long, but any thoughts would be appreciated.

Hi, Melissa, To change pages, do a three-finger swipe upward.

Re: questin about navigating emails using iphone gestures
I constantly state that blind iOS users need to learn all the Voice-Over commands. Go to settings, general, accessibility VoiceOver, practice area, and touch the middle of the display to place yourself in the practice area. Now, until you either double-tap / split-tap on the done button which you can find by moving your finger around the display, or by pressing the home button to return to the home screen, every gesture you perform will cause VO to announce the gesture and then speak its function(s). Go practice and learn until you know all the gestures. I usually never carry a keyboard with me. The gestures are: Touch the screen split-tap One, two, and three finger single, double, and triple taps (if you activate zoom or assistive touch at the same time, add another tap so it goes to four taps) Four finger touch with the majority of the fingers on the top half or the bottom half of the display One, two, and three finger vertical or horizontal swipes/flicks (its the same thing) (finger alignment with each other does not matter, just all fingers moving in the same direction, and enough space between each finger so VO detects the individual fingers) The rotor - turning two fingers anywhere on the display like turning a virtual knob The pinch - moving two fingers/thumb and finger closer together or further apart The two-finger scrub - moving two fingers back and forth either horizontally or vertically One or two finger double-tap and hold The single-finger slide - actually, a normal gesture for iOS which VO also tracks. The iOS gestures are solidly in the iPhone. If you find that VO is announcing something different than what you believe you are doing, you are in error. It is like pressing control x on your keyboard when you wanted to press control c. Finally, be aware that, save for touching the screen to find something, All VO gestures activate when you remove your fingers from the display.

I think I can get used to mmost of them, but I have a little trouble with the flicking. That's when practicing will become useful. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the VIPhone Google Group.
