Hey Scott, I'm with you 100%. I really like the fact that the cursor is
between the letters. So if you move backwards, then pressing delete will
delete the character prior to the one spoken last, if you move forward,
delete will delete the character last spoken. Basically, if you stop to
think it through, it will be very logical. I find editing with the touch
screen to be very nice, and even better than with a bluetooth keyboard.
Not junk at all, but then again, that's my opinion too. <smile>.

ALthough you are entitled to your opinion, I would have to disagree with
your statement concerning the editing functions as being junk. There
certainly is some learning curve which is true with about anything. I
would have to say the editing functionality works well and I have used
it on several occasions with great success. I point this out because I
want others to have another opinion and understand that they should give
it a go before assuming it is junk.
I think the thing that throws many users and especially those used to
how editing is done in the world of WIndows screen readers the learning
curve will be a bit more.

The edit function and cut and paste on the phone itself is junk, said
from someone who much prefers using a keyboard when needing to edit
where ctrl v and c work and where deleting works with separate keys so
you know exactly if you are going the right direction. I very much
hate editing on the phone itself, if Vokul makes a mistake, in fact, I
just leave it there, and if I make a horrible on typing I just delete
the whole thing and try again. I don't do lengthy messages or e-mail
on the phone, only mail I get is to send phone numbers to the address
connected to the phone because reading e-mail on the phone is not for
me at least a pleasant experience. I have lots of uses for the phone
but editing, cutting and pasting are not among them unless I am bored
and feel I have nothing else to do.
I like the phone and it goes everywhere with me but those functions
and the rotors are my least favorite. Practice in those cases does
not make perfect, just frustration.

Yes, as above, make sure you are going in the right direction.
When I first got my iPhone I thought the edit function was junk until
I realized my mistake.

Hi all,
I often get really confused when I try to edit the text that I've typed.
For example, when I want to edit a text message, I swipe down with one
finger and VO reads the text character by character.
Now, if I want to delete a character, I double tap the delete button.
So, sometimes the character that VO last spoke gets deleted and at
other times the character which was immediately before the character
that VO last spoke gets deleted.
So, how exactly does this work?
Let's say I've made a spelling mistake and have written my name as R A
H O U L instead of R A H U L.
So, where should I press the delete button to delete the O?
Thanks in advance for your assistance.
Best,
Rahul
