The other thing to note with this and perhaps other Bluetooth headsets is that there is a delay between touching or swiping and the voiceover sound that results. I sometimes find that I swipe too fast and I hear something I want to open, but I have already swiped to the next app and open it by mistake. I am not sure if the delay is similar on all headsets or not. It is likely the nature of the Bluetooth beast, but I only have one headset to use, so I don't know about others.

This is why we should call them what the manufacturers call them despite whether you or I feel is a wrong term. -- Raul A. Gallegos I'm reading a book about Anti-Gravity.
