Hi They seem to be modes to control the way in which you use your fingers to type. they also have different echo functions. It's hard to describe it without actually having it in my hand, which I don't now as it was sent back to London. I'd suggest you look at the voiceover documentation on the Apple website which describes it in extreme detail. _______________________________________ Have a pleasant day, Kind Regards and Best Wishes, Hussein.

There are some additional typing modes, and also the pronunciation of words is improved. Note for clarity that the iPad is not yet available in the Uk to my knowledge, and the one I used was purchased in the US. _______________________________________ Have a pleasant day, Kind Regards and Best Wishes, Hussein.
