Hi again,
it might sound silly, but although I have been Iphone user for quite a
while I still don't know how to use the rotor. I know how to do the
gesture I just cannot get it working. When I try the gesture I always
open an application. I use the rotor the way that I kind of flick with
Ok, you have to imagine this like the old radio dials, the tuning dial for
example. You'd hold it between finger and thumb, and twist it.
So you try to do this on the screen, hold your fingers a bit apart like
you're holding one of those twist knobs, put finger and thumb on the
screen, then
What you want to achieve is the sort of movement that you have if you turn the
knob on the radio so imagine that you want to turn on a radio, not one of the
switch sliders but one of those that the volume knob turns around, with your
thumb and finger on one hand. if you can't actually turn
Also, you can go into the VO settings and practice the gesture without changing
any settings. This may enable you to practice with a little more confidence and
be less tentative, if that's part of the problem.

Yeah, I have a friend who can't do the rotor gesture. She has tried and tried
until she has dreams (actually I think she said nightmares) where she is trying
to do the rotor so I finally told her to put it on the back burner for a while
because it is driving her crazy. She has read the
Hi.
I haven't followed this discution, but sounds like she have to have someone to
show hur phicically how to do it. It can be pretty difficult to explain how to
do it, or some people find it difficult to understand without having someone to
show them how to do it.

Showing physically isn't that easy either when a person can't see. You can't
exactly do it easily while somebody is touching your hand or force their hand
through it, or at least i can't. Besides, a lot of us don't necessarily live
where we have another blind person around to show us and from
Cheryl, I completely agree, I would find it very difficult to demonstrate it to
someone. I’ve always described it to people as like turning a knob with two
fingers.

I have trained lots of blind, visually and fully sighted people how to use
Voiceover on an iPhone and iPad, and I have a huge success on showing people
how to turn the rotor.
If people don't understand my explanation, I usually take their hand, carefully
place their fingers on the screen and
Yeah, my friend tried that too. But thanks.

The key is that you need to have two fingers on the screen moving in
opposite directions. Try placing the iPhone on a flat surface, so you
can use both hands if you want, now place two fingers on the screen, one
near the left edge and another near the right edge, about an inch apart.
Now move
That sounds more like a pinch gesture.
I use the rotor by imagining a small knob like a volume control on a radio.
I put my thumb and foreginer together and twist left or right.

Sorry, in my example, the fingers are moving parallel to each other and
not towards each other. They're about an inch apart, moving parallel to
each other, in opposite directions. I hope that helps.

I use the rotor the way most people do.
I Have just tried this new approach to see if itw would work, and it does 2 out

I don't think i'd have trouble demonstrating as such, though this is going
to depend mostly on the comprehension of the trainee.
But you do the gesture on the back of their hand, while it is more or less
in situ with the iDevice, then they try and emulate what they feel you do.
You could step
Hey guys, when I taught my last iPhone class, I taught the rotar this way and
it worked great. The student was able to pick it up quite well, lightly using
the back of the hand as my surface I showed them how to turn the rotar and what
to do and it worked perfectly, this also works for
Simple way to do the rotor. I put two fingers with a space between them on the
screen. Then I turn the iPhone under my two fingers. After a while doing it
this way, I began feeling the movement and now I can do a little of the
movement with the phone still. I still need to move the phone, but I
Both the two-handed and two-finger-turn-phone methods sound like they might be
something my friend can do to give her a feel for how to do the rotor. I'm
going to try these with her.
