I only want to use it! Like I said, I took its advice and double tapped on things, which didn't respond. if an edit field you double tap on doesn't open for you to edit, it's not a lot of good.
That's about it; the ehlp didn't say any more - tap this, double tap the other - it's frustrating until we know what commands it is sharing with VO and how you get around it. I just want to know how existing users make it work?
