When I activate the roter I put two fingers of my right hand on the
screen
spread just a little apart and turn the phone with my left hand. Weird, I
know, but it seems to work for me.
God bless!

Subject: Changing the Rotor
Hi Tom,
I changed the subject line to better reflect this topic. The method you
outlined is exactly the way I handle changing the rotor. I originally
tried
using one hand and 2 fingers, and I had some success, but holding the
phone
to my chest and using both hands works almost flawlessly. I'd say my
ability to change the rotor on each turn with 2 hands is over 90%, far
better than I ever could accomplish using one hand.

Hi,
Another rotor technique that I pass along to my students involves using
two hands as well. It goes like this:
1. Place the phone on a flat, stable surface like a desktop or table. If
that's not handy, I'll hold the phone against my chest.
2. Place the index fingers of each hand caddy-corner to each other, for
example, left index at the lower left-hand corner of the screen and the
right index at the upper right-hand corner of the screen.
3. Move the left index finger straight up while simultaneously moving the
right index finger straight down, or vice versa, depending on which way
the
rotor is to be turned.
I prefer this technique to the knob-turning action that is usually
recommended even though I can use that technique satisfactorily. The
technique that I described above works great for me, and when I find the
rotor setting that I want to use, I can then flick up or down with my
right
index finger.
Hope this helps.
Tom

Subject: RE: one thing I wish apple would change
Hi Troy,
Try using two hands to turn the rotor, kind of like swiping a finger
on the left hand across the screen from right to left while doing the
opposite with the right hand at the same moment.
I was teaching someone who was having a terrible time with gestures
and that did the trick.

Subject: one thing I wish apple would change
Good morning all,
This is a suggestion and maybe there is a fix to this and I don't
know about it. but I have something that I think apple needs to
change or needs to make better. Because of the strong medication I
take it kind of messes with my hand cordination, my hands are not
always stable so like when I do the doubletap and hold to delete
something sometimes I have to do it several times before I get it.
This morning I tried to do the roter and my hands just weren't having
it today so I had to use the keybord to change my roter setting. I
know I'm probably not the only one out there with hand cordination
issues, but is there a setting or something I can do to make the
jestures easier for me to do? Also if someone has a way I can contact
apple's accessibility dept about this please let me know.
Thanks.
