iPhone/iPad VoiceOver: Typing

Hello my name is Douglas Walker. Today we will be checking out how to type using our on-screen keyboard. You know, this is something that can be a bit intimidating when we first take our device out of the box. And then we're faced with a task of typing on a piece of glass. However, just like anything else, with practice and a few tips, we will be amazed at just how fast we'll be typing.

All right, a great place to practice our typing is within our Notes app. And we just so happen to have a new note open. And we have been given a standard on-screen keyboard right here in the bottom of our screen. Now, it really helps to be familiar with the layout of a standard keyboard before we begin. Otherwise, we will be doing a lot of hunting and pecking.

Ed: Now that you've had a chance to learn a bit with us, we'd like to learn more about you. Your name, email address, how you heard about Hadley, and your relationship to vision loss. Learning more will give us a better understanding of how to personalize Hadley just for you. And don't worry, everything you share with us online will be kept safe and secure. Of course, if you'd prefer to talk through these questions, we're just a phone call away at 800-323-4238.

Taking these few steps saves your preferences so you can continue right where you left off and track your progress every time you log on. Plus, it connects you to the Hadley community and helps sustain our funding to keep Hadley free of charge. And last but not least, it gives you direct access to experts like me. Now, where were we?
