Hi Aine, I'm an iPhone newbie too. I find typing a pain. Think I'll buy one of those Scosche roll-up rubber Bluetooth keyboards. But back to your question... the rotor is available anywhere you can edit text. To access the rotor, put your thumb and forefinger together and turn them clockwise or anticlockwise. As you do, VoiceOver will call out the different settings. Simply stop at the one you want. There's a Help mode where you can practice your gestures. Activate with a four-finger double tap. Same again to exit. Good luck!
