I read Anna Dresner's book about the iPhone 4 all the way through, then got the iPhone and used the book to get started, jointed the iPhone list here and continued to learn. I don't know it all of course but I can find info on whatever I need. I hated the phone for the first couple of weeks, but now some nearly five years after I would not have anything else and I never leave home without it.

And the description of the voice over gestures in the "getting Started with the iPhone" book are very helpful. I've been working with an iPod Touch 6 for a couple of weeks and already I'm gaining some success getting where I want to go with Lois Goodine. the gestures. Still fumble a lot, but I'm on the way. Keep working at it. -----Original Message----- From: viphone@googlegroups.com [mailto:viphone@googlegroups.com] On Behalf Of Kelly Pierce Sent: Friday, December 25, 2015 3:32 PM To: viphone@googlegroups.com Subject: Re: iPhone classes When I bought my iPhone 5 in 2012, I was provided a one hour tutorial on voiceOver on at Apple store when I told them that this was my first cell phone ever. After the tutorial, I realized how many fundamentals I needed to learn and to become accustomed to using a touch screen interface. Even though the trainer at the Apple store was sighted, he was as proficient at voiceOver as experienced blind foiceOver users. It took me two to three months of practice to become comfortable navigating the iPhone's touch screen interface. this is something that doesn't come through teaching but through practice.
