> Sandy, I use quick nav for almost all of my VO commands. If I want to read an email in it's entirety, I then use my twfinger swipe up or down. Quick Nav is good for reading line by line with the right and left arrow keys, and for selecting an item with the up down arrow keys simultaneously.

Hi Les, I also find it difficult to navigate in this app. On my iPad, I can generally direct my focus on the left hand side of the screen and eventually find the station I need. However, this is hit or miss. Swiping jestures aren't optimal in this app. Pete Sent from my iPad On Apr 16, 201

Hi Sandy, You can use the shift key along with your right/left arrow keys to select text, and then your Control plus C, to copy, or X to cut your text. This is identical to Windows commands. You can also use Shift A to select All, and Shift plus up/down arrows to select lines. Pete Sent from
