I am not very fast with it but once I learn the layout that is correct but I do use dictation or a Bluetooth keyboard most of the time. You could do it, I'm sure he could.

When you first touch a letter, Icon, or whatever using voice over the voice over will speak the letter when you hear the letter you want you do a quick double tap with that finger, just like double clicking the mouse. you can get fairly fast with it, but either using dictation or a blue tooth keyboard is the most efficient way. -----Original Message----- From: Larry Higgins via Talk Sent: Thursday, April 6, 2017 1:13 PM To: Window-Eyes Discussion List Subject: a question about using touch screens OK folks, I've been wanting to ask this for a long time. Not having ever attempted to use a tablet, iPhone or any other touch screen device, I realize just how stupid this question might sound, but bear with me, OK? I just want to know how a blind user like myself avoids becoming a hunt and pecker when trying to type on a touch screen. There obviously can't be anything like home keys, or a easily recognizable home base for the fingers, so short of having to buy and use a bluetooth keyboard, how do you guys who make use of these screens do it? Please be nice <smile>.
