The cursor on iOS devices can be thought of as always being between two characters. If you're moving backward, your cursor is before whatever VoiceOver reads; if you move forward, it is after what you hear. That's why, if you move back a character and then forward a character, you hear that character twice, once as you pass it one way, and again as you go back the other way.
Deleting always moves left. So, if you move forward a character and then delete, you will erase the character you just heard spoken. If you move back a character and delete, you will erase whatever is left of the character you just heard, since your cursor is now left of the character and you are deleting left. I hope this makes sense. > On Jan 6, 2015, at 2:47 AM, Hicks Steven (CORNWALL IT SERVICES) > <steven.hi...@nhs.net> wrote: > > Hello friends, > > I wonder if someone is able to confirm something quickly for me please? > 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.
