Donna! repeatedly changing the rotor from characters to words and back again sounds worse than guessing if that word was dam or dan, was that letter b or v. Having said that, can I alter the rotor settings while in iAssociate, or do I have to go to settings and all that jazz? If I have made an error in my hearing of a letter, I become aware of it pretty quickly. If the answer is a very long word, or a series or words, to save myself a bit of typing, I will dictate my answer and, it is, very, rare for Samantha to mishear what I have said, but occasionally, when she does, it can be quite amusing. For instance, one answer that I was entering, recently, was "banana split" but what Samantha heard was "I wanna split". I said: "not now: perhaps later!"
I don't have any quibble with voice-over saying street when she sees s t or company when she sees c o, but when I dictate blood pressure or horse power, that is what she should enter, not b p or h p. I wonder how voice over and her/his pal Siri work? Is there a crowd of tiny flat people all squeezed up in my iPhone. There must be! There can't be any other explanation!

If you want your oven set to 350 to cook a cassorole & the cooking instructions say cook the cassorole at 275 for the last 15 minutes of cooking. You would adjust the oven temperature knob as needed when needed. The same concept when using the rotor on your iPhone or other iDevice. When playing iAssociates you can read each clue by character, word or line. And you can switch between each rotor setting as needed. The way you know which is chosen when changing the rotor; the when voiceover says words this is how voiceover will read items on the screen to you, word by word, when you flick up & down. When you turn the rotor & voiceover says characters. When you flick voiceover will read what is on the screen character by character. I hope this makes sense & is helpful in aiding you in playing iAssociates more productively.
