I have trained lots of blind, visually and fully sighted people how to use Voiceover on an iPhone and iPad, and I have a huge success on showing people how to turn the rotor. If people don't understand my explanation, I usually take their hand, carefully place their fingers on the screen and turn the device slowly so they can feel what it feels like. Then I hold the device with one hand so they can't move it, and them I take their hand again, and slowly turn their hand so they get a more natural feel on how to do it. People use that jesture differently, and the trick is to figure out what works best for them. You can use whatever fingers you want. The device don't care. :) Just make sure you're only using two fingers. Best regards: Søren Jensen Mail & MSN: [email protected] Website: http://www.coolfortheblind.dk/
