Hi Angel,
Basically, when the keyboard is up, just move your finger around the screen.
Imagine a QWERTY keyboard. So on the home row, you have ASDF and so on.
So you move around the screen and you hear an A. Here's the important
point. As soon as you hear an A, by default on the iPhone, you lift your
finger then double tap anywhere and I mean anywhere on the screen. That A
will be inserted because it's the last thing you heard. That's how it
knows. The key remains in focus until you perform a gesture.
Once you get really quick like me <Smile>, you set it to touch typing mode.
Now you move your finger around and you hear an A. As soon as you literally
lift your finger off the screen, the A is inserted, because again it is the
last thing you heard.
The double tap mode is the safest, until you get used to the phone, but
touch typing is much faster once you are used to it.
I think what tends to scare blind people off touch screens is that they
think you have to aim and get it right. You really don't.
Does this help?
All the best
Steve

I didn't know that. If you can tap anywhere on the screen, how can you
text, or perform any function? Hw does the phone understand what you want
to do, if you can tap just anywhere on the screen? I am not trying to be
obstinate, I just don't honestly know. Perhaps touch screens wouldn't seem
so intimidating if more of us blind were aware one could tap anywhere on the
screen to accomplish things.
