Hi Gordon! Well I do not know if this will be useful but under accessibility there is assistive touch which is as far as I know is for this kind of situation! I do not know how well it would work with VO but should help someone with motor problems! It is on the iPhone so should be on the iPad as well! Might be worth a look! And maybe good to use along side dictation! Hth Colin
