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.

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.
When moving the insertion point by line, VoiceOver speaks each line as you move
across it. When moving forward, the insertion point is placed at the beginning of the
next line (except when you reach the last line of a paragraph, when the insertion point
is moved to the end of the line just spoken). When moving backward, the insertion
point is placed at the beginning of the line that’s spoken.
Delete a character: Select the
, then double-tap or split-tap. You must do this even
when touch typing. To delete multiple characters, touch and hold the Delete key,

VoiceOver speaks the character as it’s deleted. If you have Use Pitch Change turned on,
VoiceOver speaks deleted characters in a lower pitch.
