if you've got a keyboard you can at least do the roter gesture. this is where
you would want to read either line by line, character by character, word by
word, maybe just navigate links.

hi Janet
I am sure you would be able to do these gestures if somebody could be with
you and show you how to carry them out. The scrub gesture is a very fast
action which you do in the shape of a print letter Z The best way I could
describe it to you is a very rapid movement to the right followed by very
rapid to the left and then to the right again without lifting your fingers
off the screen. for the rotar action you are placing your thumb and index
finger above each other and thinking of the position as though it was like a
knob on the cooker. it is then a case of while your fingers are in contact
with the screen flicking your wrist in a sideways movement to the left. maybe
if you are near are NIB you might be able to make an appointment for someone
to work through these gestures with you.

Hi Bobby, I am an iPhone user also and I still can’t do a lot of stuff like
using the rotta and the scrub gesture that has already been described. I
enjoy learning from people from this list as do a lot of other people.
wishing you all the best in your creative writing and using your iPhone.

Hello,
My name is Bobby, I am blind and live in Dundee in Scotland.
I rely heavily on access technology to fulfill my daily needs.
I have 3 computers, a desktop pc with windows 10, a small notebook and a
laptop.
I use NVDA, and jaws for windows for access.
I also recently purchased a new Iphone, but am pretty hopeless at using it.
I'm an old-fashioned keyboard user, but guess I'll just have to percevere
with it.
I intend on attending classes in creative writing at Dundee University in a
few months, so any tips on what I would need would be appreciated.
Thanks.
Bobby
