Hi all, First, I love some things in IOS7 and think Apple have done a good job in many areas. However, so far as us VI's are concerned, it seems that there are some definite difficulties and pitfalls and I'm feeling a bit frustrated with these.
First, for me at least the 4S is in some ways quite snappy and, in others, just not quite snappy enough ... Then, I'm a bit disappointed as the UK English voice just doesn't sound quite right, even on its higher setting and awful on its compact setting. Since we listen to speech most of the time, these voices really need to be very good! However, my main frustration right now is being unable to perform general editing techniques nearly as well or as quickly as in IOS6. This is because of the more sensitive touch, which can create random incorrect letters. This would even be OK if, when editing and working through word by wor and letter by letter, the voices were really tiptop and selecting was better than it is at present. I find I can no longer select and delete quantities of text as before because so often the cursor jumps about (often putting me at the top of a message when I was editing further down) (or the pinch method just doesn't work at all. Finally, I am finding the dictation when using Siri, less accurate than before and I was looking forward to seeing some leaps forward in this area. M-Braille is definitely my best bet here right now for writing but I still have a need to utilise these other skills when I need to get things done quickly and corretly. The matter which brought this in focus for me was when I was trying to text a quick message into which I needed to place some numeric and punctuation signs. I found that, when in touch typing mode, it was just too easy to slide a finger and find that a character was selected and then extra characters were available to me, but they just got inserted every time I slid my finger around - so a real mess! I did try to edit using standard typing and this was a little better, but I don't want to use this as I find it generally much quicker to use the touch typing method. I'd love some of you to try out texting, including the characters that are available in the Numbersoption, and see what you think! For now, I'm taking a break and a cuppa!
