iOs always seems to delete to the left. Cursor is always beyond the last item read, pretty well regardless of direction. I mean, if you're flicking down to work along the text, the last word or letter will then be behind, or left of the cursor. If you flick up to work back through the text, the cursor will be to the left of the last thing spoken. That is more comnfusing when you're trying to back up to correct it by deleting something. This can perhaps be proved if you double tap on a text field and it says - start of text, or end of text. Go to start of text, cursor should be against the end and thus, left of the first character. Try delete from there, it shouldn't delete anything as there is, well, nothing to the left of that point. I used to find navigation confusing when you flick up and down to wiggle the cursor either way and it seems to repeat the same word or character. But it would if it says what it skips over to move to the left, or right of it.

I have been practicing with a text message open in the edit field and flicking around the message to edit it but I can's seem to make any logic on where the cursur lands and when you click delete on the keyboard, exactly what it is going to delete if this makes any sense? On my PC, the cursor goes in front of the letter that I will delete when pressing backspace and if I press delete, it will delete the character that I am on but VO seems to do it differently on an Apple device? Many thanks in anticipation, Steve. ******************************************************************************************************************** This message may contain confidential information.
