I have lost VO only once by using this reset, and that was because I got distracted and ended up holding it for about twenty seconds. I think there is a timing limit. However, with both the Ipad 3 and the iPhone 5, VO can be brought back with the tripple-click of the home key. I got an iPad 3 and out of the box the tripple-click worked. I then tried it with the iPhone 5 and this was also the case. No longer is sighted help or a computer connection necessary. This seems to now be built in by default. I like it!
