Hi Aine, The rotor is an imaginary wheel if you like on your IPhone screen. When you are in the process of typing up a message somewhere in the middle of your screen use two fingers, "Thumb and index finger usually and slightly touching the screen of the IPhone pretend you are opening the top of a bottle. When you do this you will hear various choices being announced to you by voice over. When you hear the various typing modes available and you find the one that suits you, swipe down with one finger to select this choice. That should do it for you.

I used to be able to double tap each letter to select that letter e.g double tap h then double tap i, then when I hit the space bar it would read what I had typed example hi. Some how my keyboard has changed when I hit a key once it doesnt say the letter I have chosen and selects it straight away! also there is new keys like dictation, choose other keyboard etc, I have triple tapped letters and this seems to allow me to select sometimes but it is painstaking. I would like it to return to its origional layout. Also I thankfully have used siri but he sometimes just cant take requests at that particular time. Does anyone have a suggestion also its not just in messages that I cant text because of this, if I am requested a password or have to type a note or anything that requires typing or an edit box, the same keyboard is there!?!?
