Hi Andy, Thanks for your reply. I can quite understand that it would take some considerable time and effort to make a blank board completely accessible for us. I was just wishing…
I don't know what difference it would make if you change the rotor setting, because it just seems to me that you're having to place a finger on a very small area, but if it focuses that area, then it should work fine. I look forward to trying it out! Thanks for all your help on our behalf.

I believe the limit is pretty big: for example, it looks like it's 6000 characters if you're writing a review using iTunes. > I have been wondering if it's possible for us to have a blank puzzle/grid > where we can input a puzzle that we may want to work on with a friend who > already has it in front of them?

It's definitely possible, but it would be a lot of work to produce something that's polished, accessible and easy to use. Unfortunately, have the time for that work at the moment. > Finally, I don't know if you can help some more with this but I'm still > finding it tricky when changing a word.

I think I understand the problem. When I was designing the VoiceOver support I made the decision for the VoiceOver rotor to stay focussed on the keyboard as you enter or delete letters. My thinking being that it would make it easy to enter or delete another letter. However, I realise now that this makes it hard to skip between letters as you have to find the word on the grid again so that you can move the rotor. You can get to it by swiping, but it may take a lot of swipes. I'm now wondering if it would be better if the rotor automatically focussed on the next letter if you've just entered one, or the previous letter if you've just deleted one. That would allow you to easily swipe forwards or backwards through the word's letters. Hopefully, you'd still be able to easily enter or delete another letter as it should be easy to find the keyboard on the screen as it's nice and big and in a well-known location. This is exactly the sort of thing I was hoping to get feedback on from experienced VoiceOver users. Thank you. If you and others think the behaviour that I've described above would be a good change to make I should be able to tackle it for the next update.
