My experience with VoiceOver on the iPhone is just as good as with Win-Eyes. I am able to switch from one App to another. I am able to use all the navigation aids on a web page such as headings, lists, radio buttons. I am able to navigate in a web page or a text document by character, word or by lines. I am able to select text and copy it to the clipBoard just as in Windows. I am not using a keyboard on my iPhone, just the settings using the rotor.
