Lloyd or anyone:

Can you recommend a specific National Braille Press publication that would
be the best for a beginning I phone user like myself?

I certainly can look at the tables of contents here and make what I hope
will be the right decision, but some specific advice would be helpful.  I've
heard many mention the book that costs $24, which may be a good start.

I've heard of the Applevis podcasts and discussions, but think those might
be a bit down the roade for me as I explore specific applications.  Again,
if I'm in error, please let me know.

Like everyone, I'm going to have to take this one step at a time, and I
suspect that some aps will be easier to learn than others.

Nevertheless,  you have to start somewhere, which is what I'm trying to do
now.

I haven't looked at the website yet, hadn't heard of it before. But it would
probably be useful. It is helpful to work alongside someone who uses
VoiceOver, but probably not necessary. There are a lot of good books from
National Braille Press. They are not only in braille, but also Daisy
text/audio, downloadable braille and PDF formats. Also, the discussions and
podcasts on applevis.com, going back to 2011 when the iaccessible iPhone was
introduced, are quite useful, exhaustive and exhausting.

Thanks for sharing this tutorial.  I know it will be helpful for me.  I've
had my IPhone for some time now but never got any formal training on it.
Where do you guys go to get training and what does it cost?

David:

Having  literally just picked up an I phone  6 last week, I'll give this
tutorial a good look.

Thanks for bringing it to my attention.

I'm also going to get some I phone training, but tutorials like this will
allow me to work through things and increase my overall knowledge more at my
own pace.

Thanks again!

Subject: Tutorial for Voice Over Gestures on Apple I Phone

To: Alan and all others using an Apple I Phone model 5 or 6:



                Recently, I received the web ling shown below, which is an
excellent, well-organized and nicely narrated tutorial for essentially all
the numerous finger and hand gestures that are part of the Apple I Phone
"voice over" function.  Although I had received some personal training in
the use of my I Phone 5, the Voice Over compendium within the web link below
vastly facilitates one's understanding, ability and speed of use of the many
facets of the I Phone.

                If this is old news, I apologize; but if you haven't given
this weblink a try, I recommend it.  Have fun!
