Hey Jim, It will just take getting use to. May I suggest the following: For gestures get the free looktel voice over tutorial. Looktel has just one L at the end. Secondly, If you had a Bluetooth keyboard and a list of the voice over commands, it may make your transition easier.. Feel free to contact me off list if you'd like some one on one help.

Hi All, I have been using windows forever, ok, since 2000. My sighted wife has an IPad, and I am trying to learn how to use it, and honestly, I could throw it out the window. How the **** can you get used to it? I'm overwhelmed, and want some guidance on learning the thing. Jim
