Hello everyone, I would post this on the VIPhones list, but I ahve not yet been approved as a member and I see there is discussion of it here as well. I just purchased one yesterday and am very hopeful for it to be able to become my primary device as a phone and portable internet access device without the limitations of most portable internet stuff. Here has been my biggest quandry so far though and I really wish I knew this could be worked out. When reading longer passages of text, such as an email would be (which I don't yet have setup on mine) I have noticed that Voiceover treats a text passage as one single element. Therefore taping it reads it from beginning to end with the only control over it that I know of being to stop it from reading and then read either by word or by character. Sometimes both of these options are important and certainly need to be there, but is there any other way to control the chunks by which you read and navigate that text passage? Sometimes the entire thing is too much to take in as one all or nothing read and to get through by word to find a particular spot could be impractical to get to something say in the second page somewhere to review what it said? Do you know if any trick works to have it read say a text passage that is multiple screens in length by screen at least? I do not think there is a way by line although I really, really hope they add it as it is extremely important to have navigation options. Is there any way to manipulate such a text that you might receive in an email or be reading on a web page such that you could at the very least read it screen by screen and navigate through any of those by word then if necessary to zero in on something? I know there is a previous and next page command with the 3 finger flick down and up commands, but can those be made to work with a text passage that in itself spans multiple screens? I don't have an example available on the device at this moment, but know from my experience that this worries me. I do love the device and really want it to become what I cary and use in practical ways. It can certainly do awesome things. I am at the beginning of its learning curve, but that is fine. My Nokia n82 is awesome with talks and will definitely be kept and used, but I would love if the IPhone can become primary because of all it can do and the fact that it is accessibility built right in!
