To slow down the triple-click speed, go to Settings > General > Accessibility > Home-click Speed. VoiceOver VoiceOver describes aloud what appears onscreen, so you can use iPad without seeing it. VoiceOver tells you about each item on the screen as you select it. The VoiceOver cursor (a rectangle) encloses the item and VoiceOver speaks its name or describes it. Touch the screen or drag your finger over it to hear the items on the screen. When you select text, VoiceOver reads the text. If you turn on Speak Hints, VoiceOver may tell you the name of the item and provide instructions—for example, “double-tap to open.” To interact with items, such as buttons and links, use the gestures described in Learn VoiceOver gestures on page 10 7 . When you go to a new screen, VoiceOver plays a sound, then selects and speaks the first item on the screen (typically in the upper-left corner). VoiceOver also lets you know when the display changes to landscape or portrait orientation, and when the screen becomes dimmed or locked. Note: VoiceOver speaks in the language specified in International settings, which may be influenced by the Region Format setting in Settings > General > International. VoiceOver is available in many languages, but not all. VoiceOver basics Important: VoiceOver changes the gestures you use to control iPad. When VoiceOver is on, you must use VoiceOver gestures—even to turn VoiceOver off. Turn VoiceOver on or off. Go to Settings > General > Accessibility > VoiceOver, or use the Accessibility Shortcut.

Unacknowledged notifications are repeated when you unlock iPad. Turn the screen curtain on or off. Triple-tap with three fingers. When the screen curtain is on, the screen contents are active even though the display is turned off. Learn VoiceOver gestures When VoiceOver is on, standard touchscreen gestures have different effects, and additional gestures let you move around the screen and control individual items. VoiceOver gestures include two-, three-, and four-finger taps and swipes. For best results using multi-finger gestures, relax and let your fingers touch the screen with some space between them. You can use different techniques to enter a particular VoiceOver gesture. For example, you can perform a two-finger tap using two fingers from one hand, or one finger from each hand. You can even use your thumbs. Many use a split-tap gesture: instead of selecting an item and double-tapping, touch and hold an item with one finger, then tap the screen with another finger. Try different techniques to discover which works best for you.
Appendix A Accessibility 10 8 If a gesture doesn’t work, try a quicker movement, especially for a double-tap or swipe gesture. To swipe, try brushing the screen quickly with your finger or fingers. In VoiceOver settings, you can enter a special area where you can practice VoiceOver gestures without affecting iPad or its settings. Practice VoiceOver gestures. Go to Settings > General > Accessibility > VoiceOver, then tap VoiceOver Practice. When you finish practicing, tap Done. If you don’t see the VoiceOver Practice button, make sure VoiceOver is turned on. Here’s a summary of key VoiceOver gestures: Navigate and read •Tap: Select and speak the item. •Swipe right or left: Select the next or previous item. •Swipe up or down: Depends on the rotor setting. See Use the VoiceOver rotor on page 10 9 . •Two-finger tap: Stop speaking the current item. •Two-finger swipe up: Read all from the top of the screen. •Two-finger swipe down: Read all from the current position. •Two-finger scrub: Move two fingers back and forth three times quickly (making a “z”) to dismiss an alert or go back to the previous screen. •Three-finger swipe up or down: Scroll one page at a time. •Three-finger swipe right or left: Go to the next or previous page (on the Home screen, for example). •Three-finger tap: Speak additional information, such as position within a list or whether text is selected. •Four-finger tap at top of screen: Select the first item on the page. •Four-finger tap at bottom of screen: Select the last item on the page.

Appendix A Accessibility 10 9 Use the VoiceOver rotor Use the rotor to choose what happens when you swipe up or down with VoiceOver turned on. Operate the rotor. Rotate two fingers on the iPad screen around a point between them. Choose your rotor options. Go to Settings > General > Accessibility > VoiceOver > Rotor, then select the options you want to be available in the rotor. The available rotor positions and their effects depend on what you’re doing. For example, if you’re reading an email, you can use the rotor to switch between hearing text spoken word-by- word or character-by-character when you swipe up or down. If you’re browsing a webpage, you can set the rotor to speak all the text (either word-by-word or character-by-character), or to jump from one item to another of a certain type, such as headers or links. When you use an Apple Wireless Keyboard to control VoiceOver, the rotor lets you adjust settings such as volume, speech rate, use of pitch or phonetics, typing echo, and reading of punctuation. See Use VoiceOver with an Apple Wireless Keyboard on page 11 2 . Use the onscreen keyboard When you activate an editable text field, the onscreen keyboard appears (unless you have an Apple Wireless Keyboard attached). Activate a text field. Select the text field, then double-tap. The insertion point and the onscreen keyboard appear. Enter text. Type characters using the onscreen keyboard: •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. Move the insertion point. Swipe up or down to move the insertion point forward or backward in the text. Use the rotor to choose whether you want to move the insertion point by character, by word, or by line. VoiceOver makes a sound when the insertion point moves, and speaks the character, word, or line that the insertion point moves across. When moving forward by words, the insertion point is placed at the end of each word, before the space or punctuation that follows. When moving backward, the insertion point is placed at the end of the preceding word, before the space or punctuation that follows it.
Appendix A Accessibility 11 0 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. Change typing feedback. Go to Settings > General > Accessibility > VoiceOver > Typing Feedback. Use phonetics in typing feedback. Go to Settings > General > Accessibility > VoiceOver > Phonetic Feedback. Text is read character by character. VoiceOver first speaks the character, then its phonetic equivalent—for example, “f ” and then “foxtrot.” Delete a character. Use with either standard or touch typing techniques. VoiceOver speaks each character as it’s deleted. If Use Pitch Change is turned on, VoiceOver speaks deleted characters in a lower pitch. Select text. Set the rotor to Edit, swipe up or down to choose Select or Select All, then double-tap. If you chose Select, the word closest to the insertion point is selected when you double-tap. To increase or decrease the selection, do a two-finger scrub to dismiss the pop-up menu, then pinch. Cut, copy, or paste. Set the rotor to Edit, select the text, swipe up or down to choose Cut, Copy, or Paste, then double-tap. Undo. Shake iPad, swipe left or right to choose the action to undo, then double-tap. Enter an accented character. In standard typing mode, select the plain character, then double-tap and hold until you hear a sound indicating alternate characters have appeared. Drag left or right to select and hear the choices. Release your finger to enter the current selection. Change the keyboard language. Set the rotor to Language, then swipe up or down. Choose “default language” to use the language specified in International settings. The Language rotor item appears only if you select more than one language in Settings > General > Accessibility > VoiceOver > Language Rotor. Write with your finger Enter handwriting mode. Use the rotor to select Handwriting. If Handwriting isn’t in the rotor, go to Settings > General > Accessibility > VoiceOver > Rotor and add it. Choose a character type. Swipe up or down with three fingers to choose lowercase, numbers, uppercase, or punctuation. Hear the currently selected character type. Tap with three fingers. Enter a character. Trace the character on the screen with your finger. Enter a space. Swipe right with two fingers. Go to a new line. Swipe right with three fingers. Delete the character before the insertion point. Swipe left with two fingers. Select an item on the Home screen. Start writing the name of the item. If there are multiple matches, continue to spell the name until it is unique, or swipe up or down with two fingers to select a match candidate. Enter your passcode silently. Set the rotor to Handwriting on the passcode screen, then write the characters of your passcode.
