Well, I checked my rotor settings and in fact I did have to turn text selection back on; have no idea how it got turned off.
Even though I don’t have the iPhone X and can’t use it, found it interesting you had that link to that Cubs ring tone on your sit; that’s my baseball team.

I seem to recall having to add it when I had the 5S and thought that setting transferred when I got the 8 Plus. Is it not there by default, and do I have to go back and add it again? By the way, Richard, I looked at your site and picked up a few good tips. I like the info on bar codes with Seeing AI, a channel I’ve been having trouble with as a total. There are some tips on the iNote currency reader which I have that I need to look at again. I also down loaded Chess-Wise 3, one of the chess games you recommend there. Somewhaere in my apartment I believe I still have a couple adapted physical chess sets as well. I have some memory of how to play even though it’s been a long time.

If you want to first select a letter, a word, a line, a page, or all, turn the rotor to words or lines, and flick up with one finger to go back knowing that the cursor will be at the beginning of whatever you hear. Then, turn to text selection, and flick up or down to the amount you want to select by, and flick right to select. Then, turn to edit, and flick up or down to the action, cut, copy, etc. The iOS 12 manual can be downloaded in Books.

I was working with an old item in Notes that I wanted to update, and had a lot of trouble, having only occasional and accidental success. I can’t seem to determine consistently my insertion point, and only seem to be able to delete charactersand select one word at a time, sometimes accidentally. I can get the word cut and seem to be able to unselect it. The text editing and edit menu seemed to be buried together in the rotor; they used to be two separate items. I seem to be having trouble remembering all the gestures I need to do all the cut copy, paste, and select commands. By the way, where is the iOS user guide? I’m using iOS 12. Is it somewhere already on the phone or do I need to down load it into Books? Bill Outman -- The following information is important for all members of the V iPhone list.
