Re: Two small features in iOS 9 that I really I'm going to love

Hopefully it will expand to other areas and apps, like Music and Messages, since I can see benefits in those too. This sure beats the pinch gesture though, as well as the quadruple tap to copy the last spoken bit of text. Wayne On 9/23/15, 'RobH.' via VIPhone wrote: >

In truth, they could almost drop the other two and concentrate all on this one good method. This I'd use, the others I don't. BobH. - Original Message - From: "Wayne Merritt" To: Sent: Wednesday, September 23, 2015 3:30 PM Subject: Re:

OOooh, now this is wonderful, and yes, worth an upgrade for this alone. 'Bout time! but better late than never. I never did do any good with the pinch gesture. mBraille was the only other place with this kind of sensible text selection. Thanks, BobH. - Original Message - From:

Re: Two small features in iOS 9 that I really I'm going to love

Ditto. I can't wait to tell my friend about it and even show her. One of the things we could never manage was the pinch gesture, especially me due to my limited coordination. So the text selection is a big plus for me and hope it will be for my friend. > On 22 Sep 2015, at 05:53, Kathy Metters

I must have missed the first message in this thread which I trust describes how to perform this new way of text selection. Can someone describe it for me? Thanks, Jeff At 09:53 PM 9/21/2015, you wrote: I absolutely love the text selection feature in iOS nine it's one of the best improvement

RE: Two small features in iOS 9 that I really I'm going to love

Make sure that Text Selection is selected in the rotor settings. Then, turn the rotor when you are in any text box, reading an Email, on the web with Safari, composing text, anywhere like that it seems; turn the rotor to Text Selection and flick up or down to set the unit you want to select. You

Re: Two small features in iOS 9 that I really I'm going to love

Ha! I just tried it, and what do you know? It worked! I always thought the edit option had to be present in the rotor in order to be able to select text. Yay! I'm glad I was wrong! I am really looking forward to the new way of selecting text in iOS 9, though. I can do the unpinch/pinch gesture,

That quadruple tap only copies the last block spoken by VoiceOver. Richard -Original Message- From: viphone@googlegroups.com [mailto:viphone@googlegroups.com] On Behalf Of Thom Spittle Sent: Monday, September 21, 2015 8:44 PM To: viphone@googlegroups.com Subject: RE: Two small features

Exactly what I do. Or simply select the text then copy it to the clipboard. That new feature may be more convenient for others though. Regards, Feliciano For tech tips and updates, LIKE www.facebook.com/theblindman12v Follow www.twitter.com/theblindman12v > On Sep 20, 2015, at 5:08 PM, Brent

Re: Two small features in iOS 9 that I really I'm going to love

I don't have a phone running IOS 8 where I can test this any more, but I'm pretty sure I used to select text from things like web pages in Safari and paste it into LinkedIn updates. You'd have to use the pinch gesture first to highlight some text and then the copy option would show up in the

Re: Two small features in iOS 9 that I really I'm going to love

Yes, if you could do that crazy pinch gesture with reliability, which I never could, you could copy stuff off of webpages. This is way easier in my opinion. Mary Sent from my iPhone > On Sep 21, 2015, at 6:04 PM, Christopher Chaltain wrote: > > I don't have a phone running

In earlier versions of iOS, before nine, though, I don't think you can select text outside of an edit field. Correct me if this is wrong. Thanks, Ari > On Sep 20, 2015, at 11:02 PM, Feliciano Godoy > wrote: > > Exactly what I do. Or simply select the text then

Re: Two small features in iOS 9 that I really I'm going to love

In 8, when I have to copy garbage strings, I have VO speak it and then the 3 finger quad tap, but you often get extra junk with it as well that you don't want in there because it literally copies what VO spoke. - Original Message - From: "Mary Otten" To:
