Hi,
Another rotor technique that I pass along to my students involves using two
hands as well. It goes like this:
1. Place the phone on a flat, stable surface like a desktop or table. If
that's not handy, I'll hold the phone against my chest.
2. Place the index fingers of each hand caddy-corner to each other, for
example, left index at the lower left-hand corner of the screen and the
right index at the upper right-hand corner of the screen.
3. Move the left index finger straight up while simultaneously moving the
right index finger straight down, or vice versa, depending on which way the
rotor is to be turned.
I prefer this technique to the knob-turning action that is usually
recommended even though I can use that technique satisfactorily. The
technique that I described above works great for me, and when I find the
rotor setting that I want to use, I can then flick up or down with my right
index finger.
Hope this helps.
Tom

Hi Troy,
Try using two hands to turn the rotor, kind of like swiping a finger on
the
left hand across the screen from right to left while doing the opposite
with
the right hand at the same moment.
I was teaching someone who was having a terrible time with gestures and
that
did the trick.

Subject: one thing I wish apple would change
Good morning all,
This is a suggestion and maybe there is a fix to this and I don't know
about it. but I have something that I think apple needs to change or needs
to make better. Because of the strong medication I take it kind of messes
with my hand cordination, my hands are not always stable so like when I do
the doubletap and hold to delete something sometimes I have to do it
several
times before I get it. This morning I tried to do the roter and my hands
just weren't having it today so I had to use the keybord to change my
roter
setting. I know I'm probably not the only one out there with hand
cordination issues, but is there a setting or something I can do to make
the
jestures easier for me to do? Also if someone has a way I can contact
apple's accessibility dept about this please let me know.
Thanks.
