I see I'm not alone here. My sighted wife of course has no need for voice
over and if I'm doing something new and get frustrated and ask her to have a
look-see she refuses! I hate that damn iPhone of yours she has said. Ask
one of your blind friends who use voice over. She's a big help. That's why
I'm here! LOL! Of course, there are times when the shoe's on the other foot
too! Then I'll say why don't you go ask one of your sighted friends for
sighted help! Before I start getting a load of messages saying whatta
rotten wife I have, we're only kidding with each other.

Subject: RE: Advantage to triple tap button
Lawrence, the triple click of the home button to turn VO on or off is not
configured by default. You will find it in Settings general,
Accessibility.
Here is an example of when I use them and how they are different.
When I am running on the treadmill I use the three-finger triple tap for
"speech off." That way I can listen to music without interruptions from
notifications that my phone normally reads; yet, VoiceOver is still
available to me if I double tap the back button or the phone rings and I
want to use the usual VoiceOver gestures I am accustomed to.
The other day I was with a sighted friend who forgot her cell phone and
asked to borrow mine. Without thinking I handed it to her and she was
bewildered because the standard gestures weren't working. I don't really
understand the difference between how a sighted person uses the iPhone and
how we do I just know it's different. So rather than explaining, I used
triple click home to turn VO off entirely;; then she was able to use the
phone in the way she knew.
Another advantage to the three-finger double tap is that it saves wear and
tear on the oft used home key. HTH
Sandy
