All novice users, when typing a message, cannot find where the hard sign is in the iPhone. And, indeed, if you look closely at the keyboard, you can see almost all the letters except this one.
Then most people start writing words with a double apostrophe, misspelling them, or using the AutoCorrect function, but all this can be avoided. After all, the hard sign is still present in the Apple smartphone, it’s just hidden to save space on the display.
How to find a solid sign
To find the required symbol when sending a message or writing a note, do the following:- Press and hold the button with the soft sign.
- Now, without lifting your finger, select the letter you were looking for in the window that appears.
- To write capital letterЪ, before holding the soft sign, press the arrow key.
For those who are not used to finding a hard character on an American keyboard, smart people We have created several options for the keypad, which can only be installed if you have jailbreak - access to the file system.
If you couldn't find a solid sign
- When the first iPhone came out in 2007, almost all users were faced with the fact that there were significantly fewer characters on the keyboard than there actually were. And many simply did not understand where to look for the hard sign, the letter E and other signs.
- The developers explained that to find some signs you need to use the touchscreen. At the same time, it was promised that in subsequent versions the possibility of placing all letters on the main keyboard would be considered.
- The iPhone 3G came out, followed by the 3GS, but the situation did not change, and Kommersant still remained hidden. The owners of the fourth generation iPhone were sure that the fifth would definitely come out with all the letters, but this did not happen.
1.
The child should smile broadly and place a wide, spread tongue between the teeth - only its extended tip should rest on the lower teeth. Make sure that your child does not bite his tongue with his upper teeth.
2.
Ask your child to blow on the very tip of his tongue so that he feels a chill on it. Let the child put his hand to his mouth and feel the exhalation on it.
3.
While the child blows on the tip of his tongue, you place it along his midline toothpick, lightly press it on the tongue, forming a “groove” along which air will be “blown out” in the future. The toothpick should fit about two centimeters into the child's mouth. If your tongue wriggles out, push it deeper.
4.
When you press a toothpick on your tongue, a vague “lisping” whistle begins to be heard.
5.
After this, the child must bring the teeth together so that only a toothpick is placed between them (no need to bite it), and the tongue remains behind the teeth (inside). The child should continue to blow on the tip of the tongue, the exhalation should be felt between the teeth. While the teeth are approaching, the whistle cannot be interrupted.
6.
While the child “whistles,” you press harder or, conversely, weaker on his tongue with a toothpick, moving it into the depths of his mouth or, conversely, touching the very tip of his tongue with it. Thus, you are looking for the position in which the [s] sound will sound most correct.
7.
When such a position is found, you train a whistling sound in it, which can be called a “mosquito whistle.”
8.
At the moment when the sound [s] sounds correct, you will need to carefully remove the toothpick from the child's mouth. For some time the sound will continue by inertia.
9.
This technique must be used until the child learns to independently place his tongue in right place and whistle like a mosquito.
10.
After this, start pronouncing the syllables (based on the pictures).
11.
If the child loses articulation of the sound in a syllable, pronounce the syllables with him for a while using a toothpick.
12.
When the sound is pronounced correctly, tell the child what sound he is pronouncing.
Setting the sound [С] from the correct [Сь]
Ask your child to follow you by imitation and pronounce the sound [s"]. Look into his mouth and see where the tip of his tongue is.
1.
The tip of the tongue may rest on the base of the upper incisors or on the upper incisors. In this case, start making the sound [s] for your child (see below).
2.
The tip of the tongue may rest against the lower incisors. Then you will first have to teach the child to pronounce this sound with the tongue in the upper position.
Setting the sound [s"] with the tongue in the upper position.
Place the tip of your tongue against the upper incisors and in this position pronounce the sound [s"]. Open your mouth slightly so that the child can see your articulation. Ask the child to pronounce the sound [s"] the same way as you.
Since the child already knows how to pronounce this sound, this task will not cause him much difficulty, since he will check the correctness of his pronunciation by ear.
1.
Let the child draw out the “upper lingual” sound [s"]. You need to place your palm (slightly below) to your mouth in order to feel the exhaled stream of air (slightly cool) on it. The lips should be elongated into a smile.
2.
During long chanting soft sound[s"] (carefully following the air stream in the palm of your hand), the child should gradually round his lips and, in the end, extend them into a tube, as when pronouncing the vowel [u] (only leaving a wider hole). You silently show the child how In this way you need to change the shape of your lips, and he repeats this after you. The sound [s"] will sound more solid.
Make sure that the child, while rounding his lips, does not open his mouth wide; in extreme cases, he can be allowed to place the upper incisors on the lower ones.
3.
The child must always monitor the air stream falling on his palm. Give him the following instructions: “You should gradually pull your lips forward, but a stream of air should still fall into your palm. It will get warmer and warmer, and in the end you will have to make it hot.”
4.
As a result, the child will succeed solid sound[With]. If you notice that he is trying to maintain a soft pronunciation (with the rounding of his lips it should disappear automatically), tell him that his task now is not to pronounce the sound [s"], but to make a hot stream of air on his palm.
5.
Tell your child that when he makes a sound with his lips stretched out into a smile, a skinny, small mosquito “squeaks” in his mouth, and the stream of air turns out to be cool. And when he stretches his lips into a tube, a thick, well-fed mosquito “squeaks,” and the stream of air becomes hot.
6.
In the end, invite the child to immediately “squeak with a fat mosquito.” If this is difficult, let him pronounce (according to the picture) the syllable [su] (the child’s lips are already in the appropriate position). This syllable should be pronounced “fat mosquito.”
7.
If the correct or almost correct sound [s] is heard, you will need to move your lips forward, as when pronouncing a vowel [s] (so that the upper and lower incisors are visible). The teeth should remain closed. Show your child how to do this. This will make your pronunciation more accurate. You can (based on the picture) pronounce the syllable [sy].
8.
To clarify pronunciation, you can ask the child to press his tongue more tightly to his upper teeth.
9.
In the future, fix the sound in the syllables [sa], [sy], [se], [so], [su] (“teach a fat mosquito to talk”).
10.
When the child accurately pronounces the sound [s], tell him what sound he is pronouncing.
Setting the sound [S] from the interdental sound [S]
If your child makes the sound [s] interdentally (that is, his tongue sticks between his teeth), ask him to say this sound and see how he does it.
1.
There may be a “groove” running along the child’s tongue, the “exit hole” of which will be visible to you upon examination. It is through this “groove” that the air stream should be supplied.
If your child has just such a pronunciation, when working on the sound [s], you can pronounce it out loud and call the sound by your name. You will immediately need to invite the child to pronounce the sound [s] (interdental), and then simply explain and show him how best to “remove” the tongue behind the teeth (see below).
2.
The tongue can lie between the teeth as a solid mass, no “groove” is formed along it, air leaves the child’s mouth, simply flowing around it.
3.
The sound [s] can also be pronounced in some other way (not interdentally).
In the last two cases, the child will first need to put in the “correct” interdental pronunciation of the sound [s]. You cannot pronounce the sound [s] out loud.
Setting the interdental sound [s].
1.
Have your child stick his very wide tongue out between his teeth. The tip of the tongue should be located at the level of the incisors or protrude slightly forward. The lips should be strongly stretched into a smile. It is advisable (if possible) for the child to lightly bite the tongue on both sides with the molars.
2.
In this position, let him blow into the very middle of his palm, “making” the stream of air as cold as possible. You can put a piece of cotton wool on your palm and blow it off. The cotton wool should be approximately ten centimeters from the child’s mouth. Trying to deflate it, he will create a “groove” along the midline of the tongue. The release of air will be accompanied by a vague whistling sound. Make sure that the child's lips are constantly in a smile and do not participate in articulation. At first, you can hold your upper lip with your finger.
3.
Show the child his “groove” in the mirror, explain that air flows through it, draw his attention to the fact that a whistle is heard. Tell him that a large mosquito whistles with such a “rude voice”, and now you and he will learn to whistle thinly, just like a small one whistles.
Final sound production [s].
1.
The child should, without stopping “whistle” and looking in the mirror (so that his “groove” does not disappear), slowly move his tongue behind the upper incisors, as if “stroking” them with his tongue, until it is leaning against their inner side. Show him how to do this, avoiding the full pronunciation of the [s] sound (almost only by blowing air out of his mouth with a slight noise).
2.
When the child's tongue is on the inside of the upper teeth, an almost correct sound [s] will be heard. After this (according to your instructions), the child should cover his mouth in the form of a correct bite; a full sound [s] will be heard.
3.
Draw the child’s attention to this sound, tell him that this is exactly how a small mosquito should “whistle.”
4.
In the future, “teach” your mosquito to pronounce syllables (using pictures).
5.
After the child learns to pronounce syllables without difficulty, tell him what sound he has learned to pronounce.
Setting the sound [C] while inhaling
1.
Let the child, with his mouth slightly open, place his flat, wide tongue at the bottom of the mouth so that it is in contact with the lower teeth along the entire perimeter. Show him this articulation. He should then close (but not squeeze) his teeth into a proper bite and purse his lips into a smile.
2.
In this position, after exhaling (shoulders should be lowered), the child should “suck” very little air into himself, so little that it “hits” the very tip of the tongue and feels cold on it. As a result, a more or less intelligible, very quiet sound [s] will be heard.
3.
If the [s] sound does not work (you may just hear a “sob”), it means that the child took too deep a breath. You may even notice how his chest has risen. Tell him that he should not inhale, but only “suck” a little air through his teeth to “cool” the tip of his tongue. Show him how to do this so that he understands the extent to which he must perform a subtle action.
4.
After this, tell the child to “blow” out the same air that he feels cold on the tip of his tongue (because it has not yet warmed up) through his teeth. Let him “blow” it off the tip of his tongue and “strain” it through his teeth. The lips should remain in a wide smile. As a result, the child will pronounce a quiet sound [s].
5.
In the future, let him pronounce the sound [s] while inhaling and exhaling (as if “driving” the same tiny portion of air back and forth). Make sure he doesn't get out of breath, give him a break. The chest and shoulders should be lowered, the lips should be drawn out into a smile. When inhaling, the air should precisely hit the tip of the tongue and immediately “blow away” from the tip of the tongue. You can invite your child to blow off a “chilling feeling” from the tip of his tongue.
6.
When the sound [s] is quite stable, draw the child’s attention to the fact that he produces a thin whistle, like a “little mosquito.” Let it “whistle” longer as you exhale.
7.
Then you need to “whistle” only as you exhale - intermittently, with pauses (“the mosquito, they say, will whistle, then think for a while, then whistle again”).
8.
After this, proceed to the pronunciation of the syllables [sa], [se], [sy]. [so], [su] (from pictures). Tell your child that your “mosquito will learn to talk.”
9.
When the child makes the sound [s] unmistakably, tell him what sound he is pronouncing.
Setting the “C” sound on the side.
It is better to start sound production by practicing reference sounds: [I], [F]. When the child begins to pronounce the sound [I] correctly, ask him to blow the wind across his tongue, the sound [C] is heard.
Another way of setting: from the interdental sound [C]. This method helps keep the lateral edges of the tongue in the same position. The child is asked to bite the tip of his tongue and at the same time pass a stream of air across the tongue.
If you are the owner of an iPhone, often type SMS and even now you don’t know where the hard sign may be on the keyboard, then today’s material was created especially for you.
As soon as I purchased an iPhone, I realized one fairly simple thing: Apple devices do everything possible to make them easier to use.
People have probably sat and worked out all the little details of typing on a device for years, all for the sake of you, so that you can respond to your family and friends as quickly as possible.
Hard sign (Ъ) on iPhone
In order not to torment you for a long time, I want to immediately explain where exactly it is located. First, let’s go to SMS, for example, so that we can use the keyboard.
Now we press with our finger on soft sign and literally immediately an additional window will pop up where you can see the letter “Ъ”.
Just point at it and the sign will immediately appear in your message line. As for me, everything is logical and simple, although when I first turned on my device I didn’t know this and my friends told me.
Results
Many people complain and ask why there is no hard sign on the iPhone, but as you can see, you just need to go to Google and ask the question you need.
The iPhone contains a lot of secrets that make it easier to use, this includes speeding up typing and other things. We will discuss other features in the following articles.
Now you have the opportunity to share with your friends information about the location of the hard sign on your favorite iPhone.
