Yes it does. I think I am not so frightened of touch screens any longer. I just don't want to appear illiterate if I were to text using something like that. Thank you for taking the time to explain to this fossil these modern gadgets. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Steve Nutt" <steve@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>

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 thelast 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?

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 beobstinate, 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 thescreen to accomplish things.----- Original Message ----- From: "Steve Nutt" <steve@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>To: <access-uk@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> Sent: Friday, August 03, 2012 2:18 AM Subject: [access-uk] Re: I phone 4S Steve & JackieHi, Yes you could. The advantage of a touch screen believe it or not, is you don't have to worry about the size of buttons and you can tap anywhere on the screen. So I don't see why not at all.
