VoiceOver also lets you use the editing features of iPhone to cut, copy, or paste in a text field.

Enter text:

1Select a text field to bring up the onscreen keyboard.

You may need to double-tap to bring up the keyboard, if it doesn’t appear automatically. VoiceOver will tell you if the text field “is editing” or if you need to

“double-tap to edit.”

If the field already contains text, the insertion point is placed either at the beginning or at the end of the text. Double-tap to move the insertion point to the opposite end. VoiceOver tells you the position of the insertion point.

2Use the keyboard to type characters:

ÂÂ Standard typing: Select a key on the keyboard by flicking left or right, then double- tap to enter the character. Or move you finger around the keyboard to select a key and, while continuing to touch the key with one finger, tap the screen with another finger to enter the character. VoiceOver speaks the key when it’s selected, and again when the character is entered.

ÂÂ Touch typing: Touch a key on the keyboard to select it, then lift your finger to enter the character. If you touch the wrong key, move your finger on the keyboard until you select the key you want. VoiceOver speaks the character for each key as you touch it, but doesn’t enter a character until you lift your finger.

Note: Touch typing works only for the keys that actually enter text. Use standard typing for other keys such as Shift, Delete, and Return.

VoiceOver tells you when it thinks you’ve misspelled a word.

Choose standard or touch typing: With VoiceOver turned on and a key selected on the keyboard, use the rotor to select Typing Mode, then flick up or down.

Move the insertion point: Use the rotor to choose whether you want to move the insertion point by character, by word, or by line. By default, VoiceOver moves the insertion point character-by-character.

Flick up or down to move the insertion point forward or backward in the text. VoiceOver makes a sound when the insertion point moves, and speaks the character that the insertion point moves across.

When moving the insertion point by word, VoiceOver speaks each word as you move across it. When moving forward, the insertion point is placed at the end of the traversed word, before the space or punctuation that follows it. When moving backward, the insertion point is placed the end of the word preceding the traversed word, before the space or punctuation that follows it. To move the insertion point past the punctuation at the end of a word or sentence, use the rotor to switch back to character mode.
