Hi Satguru Bhaiya, Before even thinking to start with your first iPhone, the basic step to be taken is to give a big treat! :d Tips to get started: 1. Learn the tutorial of Voice Over, practice commands there, which will help you in learning the gestures. Its there in voice over (settingsgeneralaccessibility), announced as 'practice voice over button'. 2. Read the apple's help documentation for accessibility, which is indeed good according to me, as I have done a very little practice with voice over. 3. There are hell lot of podcasts about IPhone on various sites, and since you must be up to date with emails, I need not give you website links. 4. Install Fleksy, one of the amazing typing app on IOS. Do get back should you have specific questions. Regards, -- Amar Jain.

[Mobile.AI] Starting with my first iPhone?
Dear all, Greetings! Today I've got my first iPhone (4S). Now I want to clerify and know some general things: -From the outer looks it appears the normal sim won't work with this phone and I'd perhaps need to get a microsim. Is it? -Unless sim is inserted, the accessibility features can't be turned on. (if yes, then suggest how). -I know nothing else and please come up with some basic but essential tips to begin with. Response avaited as I am eager to start off with this new gadget. Satguru ___,__.___ Life's battle do not always go, to the stronger or faster man.

Re: [Mobile.AI] Starting with my first iPhone?
Hi Satguru, iPhone requires microcim. However, I am told that any sim can be cut into a microsim, no big issues there. As far as accessibility is concerned, you can turn on voiceOver even without having a sim inserted. On 03/06/2013 15:48, Satguru Rathi wrote: Dear all, Greetings! Today I've got my first iPhone (4S).

Re: [Mobile.AI] Starting with my first iPhone?
Hello Satguru, you have to go to settings/general/accessibility/voiceOver and turn on the same. But can't you complete the initial set up without a sim? maybe someone who is using an iPhone can better help. I was assuming it should not take a sim to get it going. try completing the set up and do as above. On 03/06/2013 16:09, Satguru Rathi wrote: Hi sir, I am not able to turn on the Voice over.

Re: [Mobile.AI] Starting with my first iPhone?
Hi, You have to get a micro simm first. When you insert the simm, you will get a setup dialogue box, which you can do with the help of a sighted person. Also, there is another way. For that, you need to connect your i phone to the computer, which has I tunes installed and then a visually challenged person can activate voice over without anybody's help. This is what I know. I am also a new user.

Re: [Mobile.AI] Starting with my first iPhone?
hai dear friend!!! this information I got from internet, please read it 20 Quick Tips to get you Started with your First iPhone! Number one rule: your iPhone with VoiceOver running will operate differently to standard iPhone gestures. In addition, VoiceOver will speak some items as real words when in reality on the screen they may be just symbols. So just take this in to account when getting assistance from sighted friends and family, and listen to what VoiceOver is saying. 1. Turning iPhone on: hold down power button (top right) for 2 seconds and release. Takes about 15 seconds for the unlock screen to appear. VoiceOver announces time. Screen will lock after 10 seconds if the screen is not touched. 2. Unlocking the iPhone from the unlock screen: press the Power button (top right or the Home button bottom middle). VoiceOver announces the time. Drag 1 finger up from the Home button (bottom middle) just a little. VoiceOver announces Slide to unlock and Slide or double tap (2nd message is the VoiceOver hint). 1 finger double tap anywhere on the screen to unlock (you don't need to drag your finger). If screen not touched for 15 seconds, screen will lock. When screen unlocked, you are at the Home screen with rows of apps, and the Status menu at the top. 3. Basic VoiceOver navigation of the Main Home screen: 1 finger drag around screen to here what is under your finger or 1 finger flick left or right to move item by item left or right around the screen. 1 finger double tap to activate the item you wish to use. 1 finger flick left or right will only move you between the items on the main screen, it will not access the Status menu (see next point), but dragging 1 finger will. The first row of icons on the main Home screen are: Messages, Calendar, Photos, and Camera, with further rows of icons (apps) below this. At the bottom (of all Home screens), you have 4 apps (icons): Phone, Mail, Safari (web browser), and Music. 4. Accessing Status menu: locate the Speaker grill just below the top edge of the iPhone, and drag 1 finger down just a little. . VoiceOver will announce an item on the Status menu, followed by the announcement Status bar item and Swipe down with three fingers to reveal the Notification centre (second message is the VoiceOver hint). Once in the Status menu, you can 1 finger flick left or right to move left or right to the items in the Status menu: eg signal strength, time, battery status etc. 1 finger drag or touch anywhere on the screen to take VoiceOver out of the Status menu. 5. Practising VoiceOver gestures: VoiceOver itself has a practise mode (much like keyboard practise on desktop screen readers) where you can practise all the gestures with out them actually doing anything besides speaking their function: To do this: Settings, General, Accessibility, VoiceOver, VoiceOver Practise, and try out a few of the gestures in this document. Press the Home button (bottom middle) to return to the Main Home screen. Remember, you can navigate to all of these items by 1 finger drag or flick left or right to locate each item, and then a 1 finger double tap to select an item. Tip: touching the screen with 4 fingers at the top will jump the voiceOver focus to the top most item on the screen which in the Setting screens is the Back button to go back a screen, 1 finger double tap as usual to activate this if you wish to go back a screen, and of course, 4 finger touch at the bottom of the screen moves the VoiceOver focus to the last item on the screen. 6. Adjusting the volume of VoiceOver: VoiceOver volume is adjusted by using the Volume up and Volume down buttons on the left hand side of the iPhone just below the top left hand edge and below the sleep/wake switch whilst VoiceOver is talking. Two finger flick up will start VoiceOver talking from the top of the screen, whilst talking, press the Volume up or Volume down buttons to control the volume of VoiceOver. When finished, a two finger touch on the screen will stop VoiceOver talking (which can be used any time to silence VoiceOver). 7. Silencing the iPhone: To silence the iPhone, locate the silence/wake switch on the top left edge of the iPhone just below the top. Flicking the switch down towards the back of the iPhone will silence the iPhone (you will feel the iPhone vibrate). Rather than ringing, the iPhone will now vibrate. Flicking the switch up towards the front face of the iPhone, will put it back in normal operation. When in Silent mode, you will not hear any sounds that VoiceOver makes when your touching the the screen (but it will keep talking). 8. Answering and hanging up a call: 2 finger double tap anywhere on the screen will answer a call. 2 finger double tap anywhere on the screen whilst on a call, will hang up the call. When not answering or
