I don't get it at all. I don't understand the purpose nor how to turn it off. I am a slow typer so I find this very disruptive. Any help to turn this off would be greatly appreciated. I'd also love to learn how this feature is useful so that I can appreciate it's application.

However, if I select the letter E, VO announces "alternative Characters available, slide your finger to discover alternative characters, lift to select a character" and if I slide my finger around VO tells me what these characters are and I have no idea what they are. I am guessing this is some characters for languages other than English. For every letter on the keyboard the alternative characters are different unless it's like the letter R where there does not seem to be an alternative character. This whole thing baffles me though. :) Thanks, Christina -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the "VIPhone" Google Group.
