Hi Pam, In the screen for ingredients, or the one for preparation, you need to scroll with a three finger flick up to access the later pages of the recipe description. However, you also have the option of mailing yourself the recipe with list of ingredients and preparation instructions for your selection. To do this, on the screen for the recipe you have selected on your iPhone or iPod Touch, double tap the "Add BTN" button in the top right corner of the screen. Then, starting from the top, run your finger vertically down the center of your iPhone screen to access the 6 button options: "Add to My Recipe Box", "Add to Meal Builder", "Add to Shopping List", "Share on Facebook", "E-mail this Recipe", and "Print this Recipe", followed by a "Close" button. Double tap the "E-mail this Recipe" button .once you send your email, or delete or save a draft, you'll be returned to your recipe screen.
The trick of running your finger down the center of the screen to access the buttons is something I picked up based on the experience of using the original iPad. One of the problems that you can encounter using VoiceOver is that either the screen is not updated and refreshed to display new content, or else controls from an earlier screen still show up when you navigate by flicking. After double tapping the "Add" button, you could try flicking to reach the "E-mail this Recipe" button, but you'd find the new buttons mixed in with the old screen controls in a confusing manner, because the screen has updated but not been reloaded by VoiceOver. (Usually, this is because the new information doesn't cover the entire screen and force a complete redraw.). However, on the iPhone screen, almost all new items will be displayed near the center of the screen, so running your finger vertically down through the center of the screen will almost always give you direct access to the new elements. If you don't choose one of the six listed button options on the screen you accessed with the "Add BTN" button, you can exit in any of three ways: double tap the "Close" button at the end of the vertical list, double tap the "Add BTN" button in the top right corner again, or double tap the "Back BTN" button in the top left corner of the screen. (I usually double tap the "Back BTN" button.) This is also how you could add recipes to "My Recipe Box" (the list of selections accessed with the "My Recipes BTN button") but I've found that I can't remove recipes added this way, even when focus is on the "remove" button. HTH. Cheers, Esther, On Friday, July 12, 2013 12:12:30 PM UTC-10, Ekstrand, Pamela A. -ND wrote: > Esther, > > > > I am trying this on a 4S phone.
