I'll try it, I tried previous suggestion making sure the app knew it was in control, but for sure using the wider rotor might have mileage.
Ok, tried it; I ocnclude both elements need to be done for consistency. The first touch of the typing screen doesn't produce a dot, it just ensures the app is focussed.

Now maybe it's something with the callouses on my abused fingers but for whatever reason, I have not found rotoring to be to my liking, until today! I was wondering first of all how much spacing between the fingers was possible and apparently the answer is, a lot. What I have found most useful now, and this does work on any of the phone's edges so that portrait or landscape modes shouldn't affect this methid, is to use two fingers near the edges of the screen. Pretend the phone has a set of railroad tracks on it and that each of your fingers represents a traing going in the opposite direction. As long as both fingers move, the gesture seems to be picked up consistently. I just tried this way of changing rotor settings with a person who swore that rotoring was never going to be a useful gesture because of the frustration it seems to bring to many novice IOS/VO users and the result was that all of the rotor's settings changed correctly on the first and every try. So maybe some folks want to give this method a try and hopefully the results will be as rewarding as they have been here so far. Now I may have to try that pinching gesture folks talk about next.
