Oh I can work the roter just fine. It’s the part where you have to select the
text that gets me. You’re supposed to start with two fingers close together
and move them slowly away from each other and it’s supposed to speak the words
you are selecting. Doesn’t work for me! Oh well, I’m remembering how it was
to learn the IPhone for the first time. Sue neumann now has one and she can’t
swipe up or down with one finger to delete a message. And, now with IOS 8
that’s the only way you can delete a message. I loved it when I could go into
edit mode, and swipe left on a message and the delete button would appear.
that doesnt happen any more. Why do they have to change things like that, all
the time? I say if it works, don’t fix it. too bad Apple doesn’t get it. so
anyway, I just told her to work at it and someday it’ll work for her. there’s
so many things you hav to swipe with one finger for, on the IPhone. She’s left
handed too, but really that shouldn’t make a difference. so, if someone knows
how to suggest how to teach her to delete a message that doesn’t involve
swiping down, either call her on her home phone, or let me know so I can tell
her. Yeah, she even had the home phone ported over to the cell phone, so she
must like it.

Don't feel bad Vikie; I've never gotten the rotor to work for me either.

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.

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
