Hi Mario, Might I ask how you would suggest this can be improved? What gestures would you like to see for selecting text and are there other touch screen devices which offer a better experience? I guess I should rephrase this, do Android phones offer a more user friendly experience when it comes to selecting text since to my knowledge those are the only other somewhat accessible touch screen devices out there? I have never used an Android device so forgive my ignorance, but is selecting text and copy/cut/paste even accessible for a blind user on an Android phone?
With a bit of practice I find it relatively easy to set my rotor to lines and then use multiple pinch out gestures one after another to select a fair bit of text. When you are talking about hundreds of lines then sure, I agree that this would be a challenge, but then again I do have a computer and while my iPhone is awesome and I can do lots of things with it, some things are still done more efficiently on the computer and I would hazard a guess and say that this holds true even for sighted people.

Yes, Sarah, you are right! But when you have hundreds lines to remove from a text, this way I wish you "good luck!" and "see you tomorrow!". The lack of very usual text editing functions, actually, in my opinion, represents a boring limitation of IOS system and VO screen reader.
