Hi Jean, Are you moving your finger up/down to find items or are you swiping left/right? There is no need to tap the "Mobile" button first in order to access the related Edit field. Visually, the label is on the left and its related Edit field is located to the right of the label. So, if you're moving around with your finger, then going down the right side will let you locate that Edit field. Remember, that when VO announces the "Mobile Phone, Edit field, it is simply telling you where the VO cursor is, you need to double-tap on that Edit field to make it active and thus, editable. If VO is focused on that field and it is ready for text entry, VO will announce "Mobile, Text Field is Editing, Phone" which tells you what field VO is on, whether it is a phone number, eMail address or other address type of field.
As someone else mentioned in an earlier post, it does seem to work better when you use the Swipe right/left commands to navigate through these elements as opposed to moving your finger around trying to locate specific elements. So, if you've double-tapped on the Add button, swiping right moves you forward through the Add Photo, First name, Last name, Company, Mobile button, then Mobile Text Field and so on. When VO announces button, then that is an actionable item that will usually bring up a new dialog or new screen. When VO announces "Text Field", then double-tapping should bring up the keyboard. Regarding scrolling through all the contacts in your list, when you place your finger on the far right of the screen, the Table Index should appear, then simply swipe up or down to quickly move through the letters of the alphabet until you get to the letter you wish. Once on that letter, for example, "K" for Kilburn, then swipe right to start browsing through the contacts starting with the letter "K". One thing that may be useful to you as well, is to use the Favourites area of your Phone app. If you have a person from your Contacts that you call often, go into your Contacts app, locate that individual, go to the bottom right of your screen and double-tap the "Add to Favourites" button. I keep about 10 people in my Favourites so that they are quickly able to be contacted. Two other gestures that may be useful are the four-finger touch near the top or four finger touch near the bottom of the screen. These gestures take you quickly to the very top left or very bottom right of the screen respectively. This gesture can assist you in getting back to the "Done" button in a quicker fashion. HTH.
