I must admit, it doesn't appear in my rotor as often as I'd like it to. There are a few apps I use where I need gestures to go directly to the app, and they often won't.

Hi Wayne, it's useful when you want to bypass VO gestures. So let's say you have a virtual piano, and all you want to do is press on the keys and play. You wouldn't want to have to double tap each key.

I've observed that Direct Touch is appearing more and more in my
rodar, such as in the TuneIn Radio app. I often come across it. What
are some examples of where it can be useful? I'm not completely
understanding how it would work or benefit me to turn on in the rodar.

Thanks,
Wayne

Hi Monica, sounds like you're thinking of 3D Touch. This feature I'm
describing isn't related to that.
Yes, this is an iOS feature rather than a feature specific to any model, so
it'll be on your 5s too. What happens is that developers have the
opportunity to disable typical VO gestures for certain parts of the screen,
in specific situations where it makes sense to do so. That's how the
gestures work in the Blindfold Games, and also how a VO user can use Garage
Band. So in the rare cases when they enable this feature, this new rotor
option becomes available automatically.

 Hi Jonathan, I haven’t seen this before; is it in 5S too? I know the
dimensiontouch things aren’t here for us so wondered. I called this the
wrong thing, but I can’t think of the correct thing but I first read of it in your wonderful book and saw podcasts from AppleVis. Oh, it’s the thing
with pop and peak, etc.

Hi Chris, when you're in game play in one of the Blindfold games, use your
rotor. You'll find a rotor option that's not usually there called Direct
touch. It will be set to off. You want to turn it on.

I am having a major problem with voice over in a couple of situations. Now all of a sudden, in order to play any of the Blindfold games, I have to turn off voice over in order to play the game, but I have to have voice over on to do the menus and make my selections. It is only during actually
playing the game that with voice over on does nothing.

   The only other app that does not now work with voice over on is
MBraille.  Now of the gestures work, and if I try typing with MBraille
nothing happens at all.

At first, I just thought maybe one of the blindfold games just needed to
be reinstalled.  But this happens no matter which of the games I try to
play.

I have restarted voice over, cleaned out my app switcher and restarted
my phone, and I even tried to reset network settings.
It does not make sense tome, but the on screen braille input does still
work.  I am not sure why that works and not MBraille.

If anyone has seen this before, or knows anything that might help things
work normal again, please let me know!!

   Thanks for any help,

   Chris
