Re: iPhone classes

[Gordan Radić]

Hi to all! Everything you say is right and correct. I got my 4S in late 2012. after using Nokia for seven years or so. I had issues with adjusting to touch screen technology but after a week or two everything set in its place. In the mid of 2013. my girlfriend bought iPhone 5 and she was crazy for the first two weeks, she almost crashed it against the wall. After some convincing and training some weeks after she said: 'I could never go back to Nokia'. It takes some learning curve to achieve some level of confidence and when you do that the most common every day usage comes to four-way flicking with one finger, single and double tapping with one or two fingers and accasional flicking with three fingers. Everything else is used from time to time.

And the description of the voice over gestures in the "getting Started with the iPhone" book are very helpful. I've been working with an iPod Touch 6 for a couple of weeks and already I'm gaining some success getting where I want to go with Lois Goodine. the gestures. Still fumble a lot, but I'm on the way. Keep working at it. -----Original Message----- From: viphone@googlegroups.com [mailto:viphone@googlegroups.com] On Behalf Of Kelly Pierce Sent: Friday, December 25, 2015 3:32 PM To: viphone@googlegroups.com Subject: Re: iPhone classes When I bought my iPhone 5 in 2012, I was provided a one hour tutorial on voiceOver on at Apple store when I told them that this was my first cell phone ever. After the tutorial, I realized how many fundamentals I needed to learn and to become accustomed to using a touch screen interface. Even though the trainer at the Apple store was sighted, he was as proficient at voiceOver as experienced blind foiceOver users. It took me two to three months of practice to become comfortable navigating the iPhone's touch screen interface. this is something that doesn't come through teaching but through practice.

This place may have a program called Connection Point or some other name which trains students on technology such as the iPhone. Contacting your local Apple store to see if someone there has knowledge of VoiceOver, asking questions on list or listening to podcasts on AppleVis are also good alternatives. Good luck on getting trained with the accessibility features on iPhone.

And/or setting an appointment with the Apple store. Being without any useable vision I am just getting used to VO and Siri and the gestures.
