Well, I don't do a lot of it because I don't write long messages on the phone, but I do know that control C and control V still work as they do in Windows. Sorry, I just do not use the phone for a writing tool and one reason is because editing is a royal pain, if I ever get Siri things might change but then maybe not.

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.

When I first got my iPhone I thought the edit function was junk until I realized my mistake.

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 -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the "VIPhone" Google Group.
