Yes, it does make it fun at times. Sense I took flying lessons we have an
arrangement. She does the driving and I do the flying.

You are funny. In fact, I have my sighted family trained. They know about
triple tap for Voice Over, but more importantly, they know how gestures
work differently. So, if one of them does something on my phone and it's
something quick, they just touch it once, then double tap to activate. No
fuss. I joke around with friends that it is advantageous having a sighted
daughter and wife because I can use their eyes whenever I want. And yes
for those who might get offended, I'm joking ... Mostly ... <grin>.

big help. That's why I'm here! LOL! Of course, there are times when
the shoe's on the other foot too! Then I'll say why don't you go ask
one of your sighted friends for sighted help! Before I start getting a
load of messages saying whatta rotten wife I have, we're only kidding
with each other.

Lawrence, the triple click of the home button to turn VO on or off is
not
configured by default. You will find it in Settings general,
Accessibility.
Here is an example of when I use them and how they are different.
When I am running on the treadmill I use the three-finger triple tap for
"speech off." That way I can listen to music without interruptions from
notifications that my phone normally reads; yet, VoiceOver is still
available to me if I double tap the back button or the phone rings and I
want to use the usual VoiceOver gestures I am accustomed to.
The other day I was with a sighted friend who forgot her cell phone and
asked to borrow mine. Without thinking I handed it to her and she was
bewildered because the standard gestures weren't working. I don't
really
understand the difference between how a sighted person uses the iPhone
and
how we do I just know it's different. So rather than explaining, I used
triple click home to turn VO off entirely;; then she was able to use
the
phone in the way she knew.
Another advantage to the three-finger double tap is that it saves wear
and
tear on the oft used home key. HTH
