Andrew, To change the typing style from standard to touch typing, get into an edit feild and then turn your roter until it says typing mode. then you can flick up or down to change from standard to touch typing.
to change the volume of voice over, do a two finger swipe down the screen to have vo start reading the entire screen, then use the volume switch to turn vo up. the volume switch only effects what’s currently making noise, if that makes sense.
