Sorry I didn't get back to you on this sooner. I'm inserting a guide below on the gesture alternatives for EARL. in our next release (anticipating the week of Feb 25 in conjunction with C-Sun), we have some updates to our help function that we hope will make it much easier to use. Gesture alternatives for certain voice commands We’ve designed Earl so that every single function can be controlled using the double tap gesture followed by one of Earl’s voice commands. For users who are comfortable using gestures, we have also built in some gesture controls that can be used instead of voice commands for certain navigational and playback functions. Voice over Users will find Earl’s gestures familiar. With a bit of practice, these gestures can speed up navigation in Earl when used in conjunction with our voice commands. Earl Function Voice Command 1 finger double tap + Gesture Equivalent Stop reading STOP 2 finger double tap Resume reading START 2 finger double tap Read screen from top READ AGAIN Two finger scrub side to side Move up 1 paragraph MOVE UP 3 finger swipe downward Move down 1 paragraph MOVE DOWN 3 finger swipe upward Go back 1 screen in history GO BACK 3 finger swipe to the right Go forward 1 screen in history GO FORWARD 3 finger swipe to the left -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the "VIPhone" Google Group.
