Re: Selecting text on a webpage

[Richard Turner]

Try moving down or up a line first; then turn to text selection, flic up or 
ddown to lines and start flicking right.
Sometimes the spot you start has code that won't allow copying for some 
mysterious reason.

Selecting text on a webpage

[LeDon Becker]

I can’t copie anything when on a web page. Can you? When I want to select 
something, I place the cursor where I want to start. Then I set the rotor to 
select text. Then I choose line. The I swipe to the right. It is suppose to say 
the line and say selected. It never does that. I can’t select anything when on 
a web page. If you can would you please tell me how?

RE: Selecting text in voice dream reader

[Richard Turner]

I’ve never asked the developer that question.  I find it useful information.
I have not run across anything that suggests that is changeable.
Perhaps writing supp...@voicedream.com<mailto:supp...@voicedream.com> and 
asking if that could be added or if it is already there somewhere would be a 
good thing to do.

Hi Richard and all.
Is there a way to change verbosities settings in VDR when selecting by 
sentence. For me it announces the number of words selected and some other 
information. I wish it could just say  selected and then read the sentence.
Please let me know if that setting is availablePlease let me know if that 
setting is available and where it can be changed

RE: Question about selecting text

[Alan Lemly]

Tom,

Text Selection from the rotor seems to be working fine for me in the Mail app. 
I just opened one of Sieghard's emails on my iPhone 8 running iOS 13.3.1, 
turned the rotor gesture to Text Selection, single finger swiped down until 
stopping on line selection, and then single finger swiped to the right to 
select 3 lines. I then did the rotor gesture until stopping on edit and single 
finger swiped down until hearing copy, and then double tapping to copy the 
selected text.

Hello,
When I get an email or am looking at something and want to select some text, 
such as a block of text or perhaps an email address, is it doable if I wasn't 
the one to originate it?
For example, someone sent me an email the other day, and there were some things 
I wanted to select from it, copy to my phone's clipboard, and put it into Notes 
or Pages.  I have the Select Text feature on my roter, but I never got the 
option to do that just by reading the email.
I'm having to go a long way around just to be able to select text.
And yet, when I was on my PC computer and read something, I was able to select 
some text and put it into a Word document with no problem.
There's got to be a way I can do this kind of stuff on my phone.

Re: Another Question About Selecting Text

[Christina]

Always make sure you have a cursor in an edit field, otherwise, you might not 
find the edit in the rotor. If you are in in an edit field and you still don’t 
have the edit option in the rotor, do what Richard suggested below. Also, on 
rare occasions, I will have to type a space then delete it and then the edit 
will show up in the rotor.

HTH,
Christina

If she is on iOS 13, have her try double tapping in the edit field a couple 
times, to get the cursor at the beginning, then edit should show up.

Always look out for #1, and be careful not to step in #2.

Another Question About Selecting Text

[Shirley Baker]

A friend of mine has copied text to her clipboard to be pasted but she
couldn't find edit in her rotor to be able to choose paste.  What do you do
to be able to paste it if edit is not in your rotor? Sometimes edit is there
and other times you can't find it on a particular website.  This same thing
has happened to me.

Hi All,

Sorry about this!  I was making a personal note, got distracted, and forgot 
to change where it was to be sent.  My apologies.

Take care.  Mike.  Sent from my iBarstool.  Go dodgers!
I believe that everything happens for a reason. Usually, the reason is that 
somebody screwed up.

From: Richard Turner
If you are using a bluetooth keyboard, command + A,  would be select all.
If using VO gestures, make sure you are at the top of the message, turn the 
rotor to text selection, flick up or down with one finger to select all, 
then flick right with one finger.
Now, turn the rotor to edit, and flick up or down to copy and double tap.
Then go where you want to paste it and turn the rotor to edit, flick up or 
down until you get to paste and double tap.
If text selection isn't on your rotor, you will need to go to VoiceOver 
settings, under Rotor, and select it.
HTH,
Richard

From: Rob Armstrong
Touch in the body of the email message.
Use the rotor gesture until you reach "Text Selection".  If you move through 
all the choices in the rotor without hearing "Text Selection", then you need 
to first go to Accessibility Settings for VoiceOver and add "Text Selection" 
to the rotor.
Now that you are on "text Selection" in the rotor, swipe up or down until 
you reach "Select All" and double-tap.
Use the rotor gesture to move to "Edit".
Swipe up or down until you reach "Copy" and double-tap.

that, and you can adjust the granularity of text selection by flicking up or 
down, with choices like word, line, page, and all. Once you have the 
granularity you want, swipe right and listen as text is read and selected. Once 
you have selected everything you want, change the rotors selection to edit, 
copy or cut whatever you want by flicking up or down and then double tapping on 
your choice. If, while you are selecting text, you select more than you want, 
swipe to the left, and what you just selected, the last thing that is, will be 
deselected.

Unfortunately, I can’t remember how you were supposed to select text in Kindle. 
It does not work for me, whatever it is, and now I can’t find how to actually 
do it. That text selection method by Apple is not mad

Re: selecting text

[Mary Otten]

At some point, I know there was a method for selecting text in Kindle. They may 
have taken it out. It was a while ago. The problem with the codex program is 
that you need to have an older version of Kindle for PC, not the one that is 
currently out there from Amazon. As I understand it anyway, the new one which 
is far more accessible and usable in terms of actually using Books on a PC with 
the Kindle app, that one is not compatible with James’s program.

Re: selecting text

[Richard Turner]

I found nothing in the Kindle app that would allow selecting and copying. If 
you have a Windows computer, I suggest using James Scholes program called, 
Codex, to remove the DRM from your Kindle book purchases and convert them to 
plain ePub and opening them in Voice Dream Reader where you can select and 
copy, or convert them to text and use a word processor.
Here is the link to his web site that explains everything.

Re: selecting text

[Mary Otten]

The different applications you mentioned do text selection differently. The 
standard method provided by apple for text selection does not work in Kindle. 
That’s standard method is to have text selection in your rotor. Then switch to 
that, and you can adjust the granularity of text selection by flicking up or 
down, with choices like word, line, page, and all. Once you have the 
granularity you want, swipe right and listen as text is read and selected. Once 
you have selected everything you want, change the rotors selection to edit, 
copy or cut whatever you want by flicking up or down and then double tapping on 
your choice. If, while you are selecting text, you select more than you want, 
swipe to the left, and what you just selected, the last thing that is, will be 
deselected.

Unfortunately, I can’t remember how you were supposed to select text in Kindle. 
It does not work for me, whatever it is, and now I can’t find how to actually 
do it. That text selection method by Apple is not made available within the 
Kindle app, so you can’t use it. I don’t know about word, because I don’t use 
Word on my phone. But I assume, something dangerous I guess, that the standard 
Apple meth should work in Word.

selecting text

[Vicki W.]

Can someone please tell me how to select text on my IPhone? It's something I 
haven't had to do and will be doing a lot of soon.

I will be doing it primarily in Kindle, Word and some using Safari.

I have IOS 12.1.

Thanks.

Re: Selecting Text in VoiceDream

[Richard Turner]

No. The three finger swipe to move by sentence only works in the selecting text 
mode.
If you want to go back one sentence at a time without selecting text, make sure 
the navigation unit is set to sentence, then touch the play button and flick up 
with one finger.
Perhaps you need to read the manual section on selecting text again to be clear.
If you are simply in the text and swipe up with three fingers that is the 
standard gesture for scrolling an entire screen.
HTH,
Richard

That's were the thing. When I'm on the text (not text selection) and swipe up 
with three fingers to move by sentence, it definitely goes beyond just one 
sentence and goes past words that end in periods. So I might have to contact

RE: Selecting Text in VoiceDream

[Richard Turner]

You describe two different issues; getting the cursor where you want it and 
then selecting text.
Here is what I do.

1.  I use the standard navigation set to sentence to get to the sentence where 
I want the selection to begin.
I then confirm by touching the select text button and make sure it is starting 
with the first word.  If it isn't, I flick up or down at that spot to get the 
cursor on the word I want.
Then, double tap with one finger on the select text to begin selection.
Then, in all my experience, flicking down with three fingers will only add one 
sentence at a time.
After that first sentence, it will often speak everything you have selected 
which can make it appear you are getting more than one sentence.  Remember, a 
sentence is defined by an ending punctuation mark like a period, question mark, 
or exclamation mark.  Some authors do write with run-on sentences with lots of 
commas where someone else might have put periods...

When you are done selecting, double tap with one finger to bring up the options 
to highlight, copy, etc.

HTH,
Richard

I'm having a lot of trouble selecting text to highlight in VoiceDream Reader. I

When I swipe down with three thingers it seems like it moves by a lot more than 
just a sentence, and you can't use the rotor to move by line. Any tips?

Re: selecting text, copying and pasting text in Facebook.

[Paul Sandoval]

Candy,

The best help that I can offer is to do a 3 finger quadruple tap to copy last 
spoken phrase to paste board. 
Then when you are in the field to post your status with the edit field in “is 
editing” mode, you can rotor to edit flick down to paste, and double tap.
You might need to clean up any extra text that VO may have attached.
I hope this helps.

Selecting Text In Sofari And Email Wit Iphone6Plus IOS9?

[Fazil]

Hi, list.

I have Iphone6Plus with IOS9.

I got questions regarding selecting text in native email program and in
native browser.

When I get an email and and I want to select the entire email message body,
should I go to the first letter of the email message, bring router to Select
text and pick up the option select all? When I do that, I can not swipe to
the edit box.

Should the email text be just one page no matter how long it is?

What about a webpage? If I'm on a webpage, reading and article and want to
select the entire page of that article, should I select a page or select all
from the text-selection box?

Thanks!

selecting text, a new way?

Hey all, I heard there is a new way to select text? True? If so, steps, please! 
Never have gotten the pinch gesture correct. Perhaps it is my lack of

Re: selecting text, a new way?

[brian albriton]

There is a new item you can add to the rotor called text selection which allows 
the following.  
Turn the rotor to text selecttion.  the flick up gesture than will give you 
choice; such as word line and so  forth.  
once you have chosen your unit of selection swipe to the right and you will 
select by the unit you have chosen.

Re: selecting text, a new way?

[Alex Hall]

First, go to VoiceOver's settings, then Rotor, and add 'text selection' if it 
isn't already. Now, in any place you can select text, rotor to 'text 
selection'. Swipe up or down to change how much to select by, then right to 
select or left to de-select. This means you have to navigate to the start of 
your selection before you can select it, which is annoying--no selecting to the 
left. Still, the method is far preferable to pinching.

Very true and instructions has already been given so not going to reinvent the 
wheel. Check it out though; best feature in iOS 9 from an accessibility

Re: Selecting text in a kindle book

[Mary Otten]

Well, all I can say is that I have text selection in my rotor, and when I 
flipped around the rotor with the Kindle book open, it didn't show up. 
Therefore, I assume it will not appear in the Kindle app. I don't know why this 
book would've been an exception.

RE: Selecting text in a kindle book

[Richard Turner]

It isn't showing up for me either in Kindle books.  I wonder if it has anything 
to do with the way Kindle takes over the entire screen.  The "Speak Screen" 
function doesn't work with Kindle either, so You can't start a book reading and 
lock the device.

Selecting text in a kindle book

[Mary Otten]

I was not surprised to see that I could not select text with the new text 
selection feature in iOS 9 when reading a Kindle book. Kendall hasn't been 
updated for iOS 9. I hope, when it is updated, they will recognize the ease of 
this feature. But I'm not going to hold my breath. This is, after all, Amazon 
we are talking about.
I don't remember the somewhat convoluted method you're supposed to use when 
selecting text in a Kindle book. I double tap for the menu, and nothing jumped

Re: Questions about Selecting Text with an iPod Touch and a Braille Edge

[Woody Anna Dresner]

Hi Danny,

Try switching the rotor to links and moving to the link. Then double-tap and 
hold to bring up a context menu. One of the options should be Copy Link.

If that doesn't work, use the rotor to move to the link again. Voiceover should 
speak it. Do a three-finger quadruple tap to copy the last phrase to the 
clipboard, and you should have it, though there may be extra text you need to 
delete.

HTH,
Anna

Re: Selecting Text With Keyboard

[Teresa Cochran]

Hi, Scott,

This prrocess is kind of hit and miss as well. If you're familiar with Mac 
keystrokes for selecting text, you can try using those in non-editable text. 
Command-shift-arrows for lines and option-shift-arrows for words.

Selecting Text With Keyboard

[Scott Duck]

Hi All,

 

When using a BT keyboard with a IOS device, is it possible to select text
that is not in a edit field?  I know that, if you are in a edit field, you
can hold down shift while moving the cursor across text in order to select
it, just like in Windows.  But can you do something similar when not in a
edit field.  Is there a keyboard equivalent of the reverse pinch gesture for
selecting non editable text?

 

Thanks,

Scott Duck

Re: Problems Selecting Text In E-mail

[Tom Lange]

Hi,
Excellent idea.  On my various iPhones, I've tried that stupid pinch gesture 
more times than I care to count and I've rarely gotten it to work. The 
two-finger swipe right could work satisfactorily.  Alternatively, perhaps a 
double-tap-and-hold at the beginning and another double-tap-and hold at the end 
of the text, sort of like setting block markers, could work, too.  Just a 
thought.

  I believe there's an update for iOS after 8.1.1 (8.1.3 is coming to mind, but 
maybe I'm wrong). I'd install that first, just in case.


  I'd also suggest that it might be the way you're doing the gesture. I'm not 
slamming you in any way - I've used iOS for over four years, and I *still* 
can't reliably select or un-select. Sometimes it doesn't work, sometimes it 
works perfectly, sometimes it selects way more than I wanted. I've emailed 
Apple Accessibility to ask if they would consider changing from a pinch gesture 
to a two-finger swipe left/right, as that would be much more reliable and easy 
to perform.


  Anyway, keep at it, and install that update. Sorry I can't offer anything 
more helpful.

Re: Problems Selecting Text In E-mail

[RobH.]

I add my vote to something like this,  the current selection mechanism is 
one of the greater weaknesses, though for sure, there's some that can do it 
and got used to it.  The rest don't, can't, or haven't.

Re: Problems Selecting Text In E-mail

[Teresa Cochran]

Selecting text that isn't in an edit field is a quirky process. There are a 
couple of workarounds if selecting it directly doesn't work. You can try 
hitting reply and then the text will be editable, making it a bit easier. You 
can also have Voiceover read a chunk of text, then use the copy last-spoken 
text to the clipboard command, three-finger-quadruple-tap to copy it. Note that 
this last method will also copy the Voiceover hint, as well, as in selected 
or edit field, so you'd have to clean that up once you paste it somewhere 
else. Sometimes, without using the rotor at first, you can use the pinch 
gesture to select some text, then go to the edit field and continue. It's kind 
of a buggy process all the way around, unfortunately.

HtH,
Teresa

Re: Selecting text from a website with bluetooth keyboard.

[Teresa Cochran]

Selecting text when not in an edit field is hit and miss. You may have to use 
the three-finger-quadruple-tap Voiceover method to copy the last spoken chunk 
of text to the clipboard. Another thing I do occasionally is select all the 
text, then copy and paste it and edit out the extraneous stuff.

HtH,
Teresa

Selecting Text

[Brandon A. Olivares]

How do you select text on the iPhone? I know how to select all text in an edit 
field, but I just need to select some text in an app, or web page, and copy it.

Thanks,

Re: Selecting Text

[Joseph Hudson]

Hi, if you're not using a Bluetooth keyboard, dan the gesture is kind of freaky 
but to select a lot of text you put two fingers together you'll spread them 
apart and put them together until you have all the text that you want to 
select, if you're selecting on a keyboard you will do shift down arrow.

Re: Selecting Text

[Christopher Chaltain]

You can also control the chunks of text that are selected as you spread 
your fingers apart by using the roter to set it to characters, words or 
lines. In other words, if you set it to lines then additional lines will 
be selected as you move your fingers apart.

Selecting Text That Isn't Part of an Editble Area, Such as a Webpage?

[Teresa Cochran]

Hi, all,

I'm using an iPod 5G. I have a Braille display and a Bluetooth keyboard. I can 
easily select text in an edit field, and in that case, the edit function is 
available in the rotor. In an area that doesn't have an edit field, the edit 
functions aren't available in the rotor, and the only function available in 
this case is the shortcut menu when doing a double-tap and hold gesture. This 
menu contains a select all option.

I've tried the two-finger spread gesture on the touchscreen in non-editable 
text, and I'm able to select a character at a time. Is there a trick to this 
process? It seems very unwieldy to me. How about keyboard and Braille display 
commands? I've tried using dots 2-5-6-chord on the Braille display to select 
text, but it doesn't seem to work.

Ideas?

Thanks,
Teresa

Hi,
I've used the finger spread technique fairly successfully. The trick is to turn 
the rotor to lines, then each time you spread your fingers apart, you select a 
whole line at a time.

Selecting text from Kindle books

[Ezzie Bueno]

Hello friends:
When I try to select text from Kindle books, I double tap and hold, but have 
the menu opened instead. What am I doing wrong? How can I select text from a 
Kindle book? The traditional way of selecting text does not seem to work for me 
in the app. (LOL. )
Thank you for any help that you all can offer! :-)

Edit appears in the rotor when text has been highlighted. Perhaps you are
touching the screen, for too long, before turning the rotor.  If so, the
highlight disappears as voice-over focus is moved to the place on the screen
you are touching.

RE: Selecting text, no good

[Pablo Morales]

Hi David.

Yes, the select pinch works, but when I want to copy, is no edit in the rotor. 
How I am going to tell voice over that what I selected has to be copy, if this 
tool doesn’t appear in the rotor?

It is exactly my problem. I select text with the pinch gesture, but when I want 
to copy it, is no copy or edit in the rotor. Maybe I am missing something, but 
I understand that after select something, I need to select what operation I 
want to do with this text selected. Of course, if it is on a web site, or on an 
app, the choices will be only copy, but where is copy in the rotor? How can I 
copy something if the edit function is no in the rotor?

Re: selecting text from a webpage

[Jennie Facer]

There is a way to do it, but it is hard for me at least. You use your roter to 
select lines or words. Now double tap and hold on the beginning of where you 
want to select. Then start the pinch gesture.

I hope that works!

Re: Selecting Text Using a Braille Display?

[Mario Barbuto]

  Hi Teresa,

I'd be happy I'm making a mistake, but I'm afraid VoiceOver does not support 
text selection functions like those you are looking for, such as from cursor to 
end of text or from cursor to beginning.
Actually I cannot understand why VO does not support them, but that is.
I don't understand many other things too, involving VoiceOver way of working, 
such as, for example, no word wrap while reading in Braille  or a gradual, but 
continouus slow down panright advance while reading in Braille, specially long 
sentences.
Sometimes I ask myself if people helping Apple to develop VO Braille interface 
is really using it in its daily work.

Hi, Richard,

Thanks much. I'm familiar with those commands, but they only select character, 
word, and line, depending on the rotor setting. I'd like to select larger 
chunks of text, including all, from cursor to end, and from cursor to beginning.

Thanks,

 Hi, folks,
 
 Is there a way to select text with a Braille display without double-tapping
 the screen? If I use the rotor to chose edit and then select all, then
 use the router keys on the Braille display, nothing happens. I used to use
 the selection key on my Focus 40, but its function has changed to starting
 and stopping music.
 
 Any ideas?
 
 Thanks,
 Teresa

Re: Selecting Text Using a Braille Display?

[Teresa Cochran]

Hi, all,

Tom, you can select text without pinching, but it does have to be in an edit 
field. You go to the edit option in the rotor while in the edit field, then 
double-tap the screen while on select.

Annie and Mario, I think we'll have to make suggestions to Apple regarding 
Braille. Some of the commands have been changing and being discontinued. The 
dots 2-3-6 space command is now for toggling between !- and comdot Braille, 
for example.

Braille is not used by much of the blind population. This is simply a fact. In 
developing Braille as an option for an off-the-shelf product, these things are 
going to happen. Suggesttions to Apple will help. I'm pretty confident of this. 
However, different users have different priorities, and I'm sure that one or 
the other may have won out over another feature that has been removed or 
changed.

Ok Teresa.

This feature has been changed for selecting press space and dots 2.5.6.

I think braille will still be developed.

Re: Selecting Text Using a Braille Display?

[Annie Skov Nielsen]

Hi Teresa.

You know the command space + dots 2.3.5.6 it selects all. There are missing 
something. Another thing that often goes wrong for me is when succeeded in 
selecting the text, I can not get allowed to copy it, unless i choose copy, and 
press the copy button, you ought only to press space +c for copying.

There's another thing I do not understand, sometimes it works to select text 
and sometimes it is really difficult to get to work.

Maybe somebody can come up with some detailed instructions for selecting and 
copying.

Cheers Annie.

Re: Selecting Text Using a Braille Display?

[Tom Lange]

Hi,
I tried this using a BrailleNote Apex while in the Notes app and had no 
luck. Two questions:

Do I have to be in some sort of edit box to get this to work?
If not, can I select text in Safari or in the mail app, or while reading a 
book using iBooks, Kindle or read2go?


Curious about this because pinching in and out is clumsy for me.

Subject: Selecting Text Using a Braille Display?

Hi, folks,

Is there a way to select text with a Braille display without 
double-tapping
the screen? If I use the rotor to chose edit and then select all, 
then
use the router keys on the Braille display, nothing happens. I used to 
use
the selection key on my Focus 40, but its function has changed to 
starting

and stopping music.

Any ideas?

Thanks,
Teresa

Re: Selecting text

[Chuck Dean]

Set your rotor to words or character's. Now put two fingers on the screen and 
slowly move them apart. Once you hear what you want to select, turn the rotor 
to edit and select the desired option.
VTW you can do this with lines,too. 
Hope this helps.

RE: Selecting text

[Andrew Head]

Thanks Siegard and Chuck. 
I listened to the podcast but just had a couple of clarification questions.
1. How do you read what is selected?
2. when I moved my fingers apart on the screen, one got to the other side of
the screen and I hadn't finished selecting the text I wanted. How do I
continue selecting? Do I just move down the screen a couple of centemetres
and put my fingers back together and continue, or do I just not move down
the screen and just move one finger back next to the other and start again?

Re: Selecting text

[Chuck Dean]

It has been my experience that you have to select the text in one motion. If 
you stop the pinch, you cannot add more to the select. What I like to do is 
start with my two fingers at the upper left corner of the iPhone's screen. That 
way I can move diagonally across the screen to give me the most real estate to 
work with. 
Sighted users do not have this problem, because there are little handles they 
can grab and drag through the text.

Re: Selecting text

[David Chittenden]

Actually, you can continue selecting text. The trick is that your fingers must 
already be moving when you touch them to the display again. So, lift both 
fingers from the display. bring them close together in the air. start slowly 
separating them and touch the display. If you touch the display and keep your 
fingers still, iOS moves focus to where you are touching after about half a 
second. This removes the selection.

RE: Selecting text

[Sieghard Weitzel]

Hi Andrew and Chuck,

First, I don't know if there is a way to review what you selectet. However,
I can easily select characters, words or lines whichever unit I set, and
when I get to the edge of the screen, I just put both fingers on the screen
again close together and repeat the pinch out gesture. This does seem to
work well for me and I have often done this 3 or 4 times rather quickly with
good success.


Regards,
Sieghard

 Subject: Selecting text
 
 Hi all,
 Just wondering how do I select individual characters or words when editing
 text? I can select all text, but don't know how to select individual
 characters or words.
 Any help on this is greatly appriciated.
 From Andrew.

selecting text

[William Windels]

Hello,
it seems that selecting text on a iPhone screen doesn't always work.
I do:
or a double tab and hold +going down/up with one finger according to the rotor 
settings : letter, word, line.

Or, I set the rotor to letter, word line…  and I put 2 fingers on the screen 
and put my 2 fingers away from each other.

I should suggest I could select any text on the screen except some readonly 
(protected) text?

as far as I understand, there are more places where I can't simply select parts 
of texts.
I know when the process was successful when I had a edit item in the rotor to 
select, cut/copy, paste.

I have done the test with a iphone5 and iOS 6.02

Any ninth are very welcome,

kind regards,
William Windels

sharing facebook statuses/selecting text

[Nicki Keck]

Hi all,

Anthony asked recently how one would share a facebook status by copying the 
text and then being able to paste it to his own status.  I know there is the 
share button, but not all statuses have that option, and I believe, and I 
know in my case, he was referring to ones that don't that one might want to 
share.  someone, and I forget who, replied to him and said they were able to 
do this with the pinch gesture.  now I have not mastered nor tried to master 
that gesture yet because I have a BT keyboard and have always figured the 
easiest thing to do is to do the selecting, copying, pasting with that 
instead of trying to do it on the phone.  so I tried to select text in a 
facebook status yesterday using my keyboard, and it did not work.  I can 
select text all day long when I'm in an edit field, but not just text on the 
screen, even if I turn quicknav off.  so I would like more information on 
how this person is selecting this text.  another possibility is this: Does 
the pinch gesture ever work when using the keyboard doesn't?  I would not 
think so, but I guess it's possible.  I have never, ever been able to select 
text on the screen on IOS, whether it be in Safari, facebook or whatever 
other app, except while in an edit field.  Oh that is the other question: is 
this person doing this in the FB app itself or some other app?  Because even 
in safari, though I haven't tried lately, I have never been able to do this. 
I have talked to MAC users who say that it is possible to do it on the MAC 
OS with Voiceover, so if that is the case, it would really be nice to be 
able to do this in IOS, but last I heard, this was not possible.  of course, 
I do this in Windows all day long as well.  any other thoughts/help would be 
appreciated.


have a blessed day,

Nicki

Re: Selecting text

[Rob Harris]

I cheat, I use a bt keyboard,  I switch quicknav off, then standard  Mac 
type gestures work.  I find the whole editing experience better this way, 
it's more like I remember itin the old days.  I know these aren't, but 
familiarity has its benefits.

JMO again, RobH.

RE: Selecting text

[Sieghard Weitzel]

Hi,

I suggest to listen to a Podcast Garth from Australia did regarding
selecting text. It's probably as good an instruction as you are likely to
find and from there on it's all just practice. His website is
www.iBlindTech.com. Click on the DemoCasts link and then look through the
episodes, if you use Jaws or another screen reader which supports navigation
by headings, you can jump through the list with the heading level 2
command. You will have to click the link for the second page of listings,
the Podcast on Selecting, copying and pasting text is Episode 12.


Regards,
Sieghard

Re: Selecting text

[Ted Clarkk]

Hello:
selecting text is 1 of the hardest things that I had to deal with in 
regards with the iphone.  The key here is to practice every day or as 
much as you can.  I noticed since I starting practicing every day, I 
have gotten better at it but honestly it does take a lot of patient and 
practice.  There are 2 podcast links which I am going to paste below, 
give them a listen and hope they will help you.
on this first link look for Episode 12 this person does a wonderrful job 
with his democast and is a great resource to keep.

http://www.iblindtech.com/democast/?currentPage=2
the second link is also good and he does go a bit more extensively with 
examples regarding how to copy and paste.

Hi, have you given the list archives a looksy? This was recently 
discussed and the steps for doing this via gestures as well as the 
keyboard were discussed.

Re: Selecting text to copy and paste

[Jennie Facer]

Depending on where, you highlight the word you want, double tap and hold. Here 
you have to do the pinch out gesture to select text. Then you use your roter 
and go to edit. Now flick down to copy.

You must first learn to follow before you can lead.
