Yes,
Go into settings> General>Accessibility> voiceover practice.
This is an empty screen which tells you what each stroke means and lets you
practice the gestures over and over.
All the best,

Hi Cearbhall
Yes my phone is locked to portrait ok,
Is there any way I could practise using the keyboard on the phone without
going in to an ap?
Thanks for all your help

Susan,
I would recommend that you use standard typing mode until you get used to
touching the screen. There are two modes Standard and touch.
Standard typing: Select a key on the keyboard by swiping left or right, then
double-tap to enter the character. Or move your finger around the keyboard to
select a key and, while continuing to touch the key with one finger, tap the
screen with another finger. VoiceOver speaks the key when it’s selected, and
again when the character is entered.
◦
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, slide your finger to 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.
◦
Choose standard or touch typing: With VoiceOver turned on and a key selected
on the keyboard, use the rotor to select Typing Mode, then swipe up or down.
•
These notes explain the two types. I think you are using touch typing and that
is very tricky until you are used to the whole touch process.
The other thing that helps is to have the screen locked in portrait mode. If
you don't, then the screen will try to follow your finger and that can be most
irritating!
All the best,
Cearbhall

Hi tony,
We only go down south maybe 5 times a year if that, joe would go down more to
see his folks usually when I'm away in England visiting my daughter.
Yes considering that I knew absolutely nothing about the I phone this time last
month think I've come on leaps and bounds. I'm struggling with the keyboard
like putting numbers or texts in manually it goes so quick and by the time I've
lifted my finger to put a letter in it has moved on to the next letter.

Also Fighting Blindness hold such on Monday morningI do believe and Susan you
might consider taking in such a session or two on your Dublin visits and I
think that you may not need too many sessions either.
Best,
Tony Sweeney.
