Here's my only problem now. I got safari opened. I then swyped right to left with 3 fingers on the status bar and got the slideout app chooser bar. Somehow, I double tapped on the wrong app, and wound up putting it where now along the right of my screen is photos, and along the left side is the Safari window, but it's dim greyed out like a shadow. I hear this is because being I only have a 1st gen Air, I don't have the full compatibility of true splitscreen. I hear I should be able however to get back to my sidebar and select something instead of Pictures, which again, I didn't mean to do in the first place.
When I touch anywhere on the left side of the screen, I hear, dismiss pictures. If I double tap, the right hand portion with pictures goes away, and I then again have a full screen view of, in this case, Safari. If I then touch the status bar, and 3 finger flick left again, it just reopens Pictures along the right side. If I then try touching on the status bar, as soon as I do, then lift my finger, focus moves away from the clock, battery status, or whatever and I hear, dismiss pictures. I think maybe one time only out of literally about 30 tries did I get it to stay on the status bar long enough for me to 3 finger flick left. When I did it bwonked at me. 3 finger flick down's only openning the notification center. 3 finger flick up, as expected, is openning the control center. So, Apple Accessibility clames that right below the status bar, but not quite down virtically to the point where the right hand side app is, there's a little oblong shaped icon that I should be able to tap and drag to the bottom of the screen, which would then dismiss photos and slide that side app switcher up back into view. Try as I may though, no flicking, nor touch exploration is getting me focussed there. I'm waiting for a call back from Accessibility as they're pretty darn stumped at this point. Does anyone know anything else we could try? Chris. ----- Original Message ----- From: Jonathan Mosen To: [email protected] Sent: Thursday, September 17, 2015 4:08 PM Subject: Re: Split screen? There are also keyboard commands, VO+left and right bracket, and Braille commands too. You swipe left with three fingers on the status bar to reveal the side app swithcer. The iPad chapter of iOS 9 Without the Eye goes into split screen, picture in picture, and slide-over in great detail.

You then chose the app you want, and it appears next to the one you were in when you started the process. AppleVis has a full description of how this works if you haven't seen it already.

I therefore have a question, in hopes that someone may be able to assist. I have an original IPad Air. Not the 2, just the regular 1st generation Air. I have been a part of the beta cycle for quite some time, but during the private and the public betas, I confess this isn't something I normally really experimented with. Anyway, enough chatter. My question is, do any of you all know how, with Voiceover, to do the split screen feature which was added to I O S 9?
