Hi, Everyone. Thanks for the responses re triple click home. I wasn't aware that you could have none of the items selected. Will try that on my own iPod and see how it works before I do it on my Mom's iPhone.
My Mom has a bit of a Filipino accent, so Siri sometimes misinterprets what she says. We tried the Turn VoiceOver off" thing last night, and the first time she did it, Siri asked "What boys do you want over". The second time she tried, there was a message saying VoiceOver had been turned off, but VO sounded like it was still on when Mom hit the Home button to leave Siri's edit screen. So I'll have to go over tomorrow to fight with her phone.
