Glad it works for you, I just do not have loads of time to spend messing
with it and have no desire at this point to use the phone like a computer.

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
