Actually, I'm not getting extreme jumping around behavior, but when I do, I'm beginning to wonder if it is not some sort of faint electro static response or some sort of faint conduction when skin approximates or slightly touches the screen. Again, it happened when first exploring the update, but maybe I've now non-consciously adapted to the interface so am no longer experiencing this effect. <Shrug>.

I may get it upgraded before the weekend is over but, when I came to check e-mail on this last this morning had 800 messages since Wednesday evening, that is way more than I expected. -----Original Message----- From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Joseph FreeTech Sent: Thursday, September 19, 2013 10:44 AM To: [email protected] Subject: Re: Voice over jumps around when swiping What may also be happening to cause the jumping is that one is waiting too long before performing a second swipe or touch of the screen, and since the icons on the screen are constant, if your finger has moved just a tiny bit, you will end up tapping on a different part of the screen. Try this... Tap on a single icon once, then wait a couple of seconds, then tap again, and you will notice that the icon responds as if you only tapped it once. Now execute a double-tap by first tapping on the desired icon then quickly tap on a different part of the screen. If you completed the double-tap fast enough, the app or folder will open. On the other hand, if you did it to slowly, you will hear another icon gain the highlight.

Now, when your finger performs the finger flick, VO moves from its new position on the display to the next position. This gives the appearance that VO is jumping around the screen, when in actual fact, you are shifting VO before you perform the flick. But wait, you say, I am not touching the screen before I start my flick. This is actually something VO does not get confused about. The touchscreen does not require any pressure whatsoever. When you hold your finger just above the screen before starting your flick, if your finger is barely touching the screen, so lightly that you do not feel it, this is enough contact to activate the display and move VO focus to the actual location where your finger is touching. Testing this in the lab demonstrates that the finger can barely touch the screen enough to activate it and both sighted and blind people do not register the haptic (tactual) sensation. An analogy is, when you are typing on a keyboard, pressing on the wrong letter causes the wrong letter to appear in your document, no matter how much you were thinking about pressing the correct letter. If your finger is heavy on the wrong letter, the key repeat activates and you get a bunch of the wrong letter in a row in your document. Start your flick gesture with your finger at least a quarter of an inch above the display. This way, your finger is fully engaged in the flick motion before it contacts the display. finally, lift your finger from the display before you stop moving it. Exaggerate this motion until you consistently flick without VO jumping randomly around the display.
