turn on reduce motion. also, if you are running 4s or 4 remember it may be
a little sluggish due to the fact that the phone was really meant for the
higher update.

Subject: IOS7, various frustrating difficulties
Hi all,
First, I love some things in IOS7 and think Apple have done a good job in
many areas. However, so far as us VI's are concerned, it seems that there
are some definite difficulties and pitfalls and I'm feeling a bit frustrated
with these.
First, for me at least the 4S is in some ways quite snappy and, in others,
just not quite snappy enough ... Then, I'm a bit disappointed as the UK
English voice just doesn't sound quite right, even on its higher setting and
awful on its compact setting. Since we listen to speech most of the time,
these voices really need to be very good!
However, my main frustration right now is being unable to perform general
editing techniques nearly as well or as quickly as in IOS6. This is because
of the more sensitive touch, which can create random incorrect letters.
This would even be OK if, when editing and working through word by wor and
letter by letter, the voices were really tiptop and selecting was better
than it is at present. I find I can no longer select and delete quantities
of text as before because so often the cursor jumps about (often putting me
at the top of a message when I was editing further down) (or the pinch
method just doesn't work at all.
Finally, I am finding the dictation when using Siri, less accurate than
before and I was looking forward to seeing some leaps forward in this area.
M-Braille is definitely my best bet here right now for writing but I still
have a need to utilise these other skills when I need to get things done
quickly and corretly.
The matter which brought this in focus for me was when I was trying to text
a quick message into which I needed to place some numeric and punctuation
signs. I found that, when in touch typing mode, it was just too easy to
slide a finger and find that a character was selected and then extra
characters were available to me, but they just got inserted every time I
slid my finger around - so a real mess! I did try to edit using standard
typing and this was a little better, but I don't want to use this as I find
it generally much quicker to use the touch typing method.
I'd love some of you to try out texting, including the characters that are
available in the Numbersoption, and see what you think!
For now, I'm taking a break and a cuppa!
