Hi, first set your rotor to characters. Now, in short, if you swipe
down, you are moving forward. If you swipe up, you are moving backward.
Your cursor is landing between the letters. So, if you have the first 7
letters of the alphabet, abcdefg, and you swipe down until you hear c,
that means your cursor is between c and d. If you double-tap delete, you
will delete the letter c because you are moving forward and c is the
last letter you heard. Now, again, taking abcdefg and let's say you are
swiping up and the last letter you heard was b, that means your cursor
is between a and b. This is because you are moving backwards and the
last letter you heard was b, so this time if you press delete, the
letter a will be deleted.
Also, check the archives of this list as this topic was discussed
recently. Maybe they will help with a better explanation.
Good luck.

Should I do a recording of me editing text on my I touch and or iPad?
Editing on any iOS device works the same. If so, I will in a few days
when I get back to the place where I left my recorder. This is
assuming that nothing comes up, and y'all want a recording. Oh yes,
I'm typing this on the screen of my iPad. LOL.

Well, I don't do a lot of it because I don't write long messages on the
phone, but I do know that control C and control V still work as they do
in Windows. Sorry, I just do not use the phone for a writing tool and
one reason is because editing is a royal pain, if I ever get Siri
things might change but then maybe not.

Hi,
How do you do text selecttion with a bluetooth keyboard, and by what
units of text can you select?
Thanks.

The edit function and cut and paste on the phone itself is junk, said
from someone who much prefers using a keyboard when needing to edit
where ctrl v and c work and where deleting works with separate keys so
you know exactly if you are going the right direction. I very much
hate editing on the phone itself, if Vokul makes a mistake, in fact, I
just leave it there, and if I make a horrible on typing I just delete
the whole thing and try again. I don't do lengthy messages or e-mail
on the phone, only mail I get is to send phone numbers to the address
connected to the phone because reading e-mail on the phone is not for
me at least a pleasant experience. I have lots of uses for the phone
but editing, cutting and pasting are not among them unless I am bored
and feel I have nothing else to do.
I like the phone and it goes everywhere with me but those functions and
the rotors are my least favorite. Practice in those cases does not
make perfect, just frustration.

Yes, as above, make sure you are going in the right direction.
When I first got my iPhone I thought the edit function was junk until I
realized my mistake.

Hi all,
I often get really confused when I try to edit the text that I've
typed.
For example, when I want to edit a text message, I swipe down with one
finger and VO reads the text character by character.
Now, if I want to delete a character, I double tap the delete button.
So, sometimes the character that VO last spoke gets deleted and at
other times the character which was immediately before the character
that VO last spoke gets deleted.
So, how exactly does this work?
Let's say I've made a spelling mistake and have written my name as R A
H O U L instead of R A H U L.
So, where should I press the delete button to delete the O?
Thanks in advance for your assistance.
Best,
Rahul
