Hadley teaches the third function by using roter selecting words and then moving fingers out and inl. I have never got that function to work. maybe these others will. Sometimes I’d like to take things off my grocery list. Oh well, thanks for the info. I’ll try these methods. I hope to some day get the hadley method to work as well. that instructor is blind and so it should work for me too. i thought you had to select the text by moving fingers in and out then doing the roter thing. Maybe its the other way around. You guys tell us what works for you. vickie From: Richard McKinley Sent: Sunday, March 01, 2015 9:39 AM To: The Facts Machine Subject: [the-facts-machine] Got these tips from facebook. I got this post from Facebook copying text with the iPhone. Taylor Brown commented: While "use the rotor" is my advice as well, you can copy text in 3 ways. You can use 3 fingers to tap 4 times fast to copy the last thing VO said. You can, in a text field, turn the rotor to edit, flick up to select all, flick up to copy, and it'll be copied. The last way is much more specific and takes practice. In a text field, set your rotor to words, get it just before what you want to copy, and place both thumbs on screen. To select word by word, pull your thumbs apart. Push them together if you over-select. Then turn the rotor to edit, flick up to copy, and double tap., 2 hours ago, 0 likes
