:) I probably didn’t explain how to do the pass through gesture properly. You put your finger on the spot where you want to do the pass through gesture, then you double tap and keep your finger down on the spot on the second tap until you hear that special sound. Once you hear that sound it’s like you are touching that particular part of the screen without VO being on and you would perform an action just like a sighted person who does not have VO turned on. In this case, it would be a drag down or slide down of the finger. :) Once you lift your finger the pass through gesture is no longer engaged. The pass through gesture allows you to touch things on the screen as if VO was turned off.
I am glad you have all working just fine now. So, did you get to the month view? This month view is the part I like best. :) I really like a few other features but I just really need that month view because this is the best way for me to envision a whole month as someone who cannot see a traditional wall calendar. :) I do also love having my reminders all there as well. :) Best of luck, Christina On Oct 31, 2013, at 12:01 PM, Les Kriegler <[email protected]> wrote: > Hi Christina, > > Well, I give you lots of credit here.
