We will then go into the Touch Gestures.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>Settings<\/li><li>Accessibility<\/li><li>Voiceover<\/li><li>Commands<\/li><li>Touch gestures<\/li><li>Choose a Gesture<\/li><li>Choose a Command<\/li><\/ol>\n\n\n\n<p>The commands are grouped by the type of gesture: and with the toggle setting set on headings, you can&nbsp;&nbsp;swipe through the headings for the&nbsp;&nbsp;gesture groups.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>1 finger, 2 finger, 3 finger and so on.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If there is an action for the gesture, that will be announced. If no announcement, then that gesture is free for assigning an action.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In this demonstration we will add a command\/action to the&nbsp;&nbsp;2 finger quadruple tap<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>That is, using 2 fingers and tapping 4 times on the screen.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>You will notice the vast amount of commands\/actions available and there groupings<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>You can really get overwhelmed with the numerous options available and so I suggest and demonstrate using the search option. I will type in Status and the search populates some commands and I choose, \u201cMove to Status Bar\u201d.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>What is really nice is that once you tap on the command that turned up in the search, the process is done!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Another gesture that may be a popular choice as one to change is the Rotate (twist) gesture.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This is called the rotor and the heading is called Rotate Heading.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Our 2<sup>nd<\/sup>&nbsp;demonstration will walk you through the step to change the Rotate gesture to the 2 finger swipe right and left gestures.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Remember that when you want to change a gesture, you start out by going to the gesture&nbsp;&nbsp;you want to use and then pick the action that you want to occur.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>You can remove a command\/action and\/or reset all VoiceOver commands as well.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Join Jeff Thompson in this iPhone101 demonstration and see how you can personalize your iPhone gestures.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>You can find the entire&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/blindabilities.com\/?cat=472\">iPhone101 series<\/a>&nbsp;on the web at&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/blindabilities.com\/\">www.BlindAbilities.com<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Thanks for listening!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>*****<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Contact Your State Services<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>If you reside in Minnesota, and you would like to know more about Transition Services from State Services contact Transition Coordinator Sheila Koenig by&nbsp;<a href=\"mailto:Sheila.Koenig@state.mn.us\">email<\/a>&nbsp;or contact her via phone at 651-539-2361.<br>To find your State Services in your State you can go to&nbsp;<a href=\"http:\/\/www.afb.org\/directory.aspx\">www.AFB.org<\/a>&nbsp;and search the directory for your agency.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Contact:<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Thank you for listening!<br>You can follow us on Twitter&nbsp;<a href=\"http:\/\/www.twitter.com\/blindabilities\">@BlindAbilities<\/a><br>On the web at&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/blindabilities.com\/\">www.BlindAbilities.com<\/a><br>Send us an&nbsp;<a href=\"mailto:info@BlindAbilities.com\">email<\/a><br>Get the&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/itunes.apple.com\/us\/app\/blind-abilities\/id1085849859?l=es&amp;mt=8\">Free Blind Abilities App&nbsp;on the App Store<\/a>and&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/play.google.com\/store\/apps\/details?id=com.blindabilities.android.blind&amp;hl=en_US\">Google Play Store<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Check out the&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/groups\/607027582712671\/\">Blind Abilities Community<\/a>on Facebook, the&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/BlindAbilities\/\">Blind Abilities Page<\/a>, the&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/groups\/193468111470902\/\">Career Resources for the Blind and Visually Impaired<\/a>and the&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/groups\/assistivetechnologyfortheblind\/\">Assistive Technology Community for the Blind and Visually Impaired<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<!--powerpress_player--><div class=\"powerpress_player\" id=\"powerpress_player_1160\"><audio class=\"wp-audio-shortcode\" id=\"audio-5450-3\" preload=\"none\" style=\"width: 100%;\" controls=\"controls\"><source type=\"audio\/mpeg\" src=\"http:\/\/traffic.libsyn.com\/blindabilities\/iPhone101TouchGestures.mp3?_=3\" \/><a href=\"http:\/\/traffic.libsyn.com\/blindabilities\/iPhone101TouchGestures.mp3\">http:\/\/traffic.libsyn.com\/blindabilities\/iPhone101TouchGestures.mp3<\/a><\/audio><\/div><p>http:\/\/traffic.libsyn.com\/blindabilities\/iPhone101TouchGestures.mp3 Show Summary: iPhone101, your guide to the iPhone Operating system. iOS13 introduces the ability to change the VoiceOver gestures and assign an action to a particular gesture..
