One other neat trick I like in case the press twice thingy doesn't work for you is you can tap and hold, or rather double-tap and hold the more numbers button, and then slide up to the z and let go. This inserts a period as well. The reason is because when you double-tap and hold the numbers bu

You would do this with VO on. ALthough be aware this is not a VO-specific feature. You got some other great tips as well which will add to your toolkit. On Jun 16, 2012, at 3:01 PM, AppleGourmet wrote: > Just aware that I am doing this with voice over on. Is that okay? Or am I > supposed to swi

You have to do the tap in a rhythum. You will have to practice, but it should be a tap followed by another tap in quick succession. No more than 1 second apart.. Practice and you will get there. Basically you need to tap so VO inserts or says space and quickly tap again so it is interpreted corr
