Hi,

 

If you don’t want to use VoiceOver and have everything speak to you but would 
rather use your vision, you want to turn on Zoom in Settings, General 
Accessibility, Zoom.  Zoom magnifies everything on the screen.

I’m going to paste in some basic instructions on how to use Zoom.  Feel free to 
ask questions.  

 

How to use ZOOM

To zoom in, or to zoom out - Simply double-tap with three fingers anywhere on 
the screen: as long as you have enabled the Zoom in your settings, this command 
will turn the zoom on or off, making text larger, as well as any other items 
visible on the display.

To move the screen while zooming is enabled - You need to use three fingers of 
your choice and pan around the glass display to move the current screen focus 
around and see other parts of the image you normally see in whole (1:1 scale, 
no zoom).

To increase or decrease the iPad default zoom level - Here too, use three 
fingers to double-tap in a special way. Tap once with three fingers, and tap 
another time quickly (still with three fingers), but don’t lift the second 
tap-just keep your fingers on the screen. Then, while still keeping your 
fingers in constant contact with the glass display, move up to increase the 
zoom (and zoom in further still), or move down to zoom out. Then, release your 
fingers and your iPad will keep the custom zoom level you chose (which is 
previewed in real time).

 

Perhaps to avoid puzzling surprises, Apple disabled this option by default; 
once you have become accustomed to it, you'll be able to magnify the screen at 
will, and probably never by accident since three-finger zoom commands are too 
unnatural to occur accidentally.

Subject: All these wonderful perplexing devices

 

I am a legally blind historical novelist who loves all the new but frustrating 
tools coming out of places like Apple and Amazon.

I am finding the Echyo partivbbularly frustrating  since there is so little on 
it in twrms of books, and other tools called  Echo that have nothing to do with 
it... form instance, I bought the Echo Pen and am returning it because it turns 
out to have nothing to do with working the Amazon Alexa Echo...  grrr...

I also am starting to use my iPad, which my beloved gave me last Christmas, 
because it is supposed to work with Exho.  I needed to start using it anyway, 
even though I don't go to  lectures or even much out of the house at my age and 
infirmity.  One thing I am find ing extremenly perplexing is how the iPad 
supposedly is accessible but at the same time does not seem to be at all.  I 
went into settings to increase the size of the font but it didn't, exceptt   
the Settings.  I could use some typs on using iPad accessibility.

On the other  hand my beloved Kindle Keyboard is as gentle as a lamb, and just 
as tasty.

I told you I was a novelist.  My books are on Amazon under the names Nan 
Hawthorne and Christopher Hawthorne Moss and are both self published and also 
published formally.  If you are interested in any, let me know.

Thanks for any help you can give me.

As I said, I am typopathological, so forgive any I did not catch.

Kir Moss
