    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. See Accessibility Shortcut
     on page 10 4 .
    Explore. Drag your finger over the screen. VoiceOver speaks each item you touch. Lift your finger 
    to leave an item selected.
     •Select an item:  Tap it, or lift your finger while dragging over it.
     •Select the next or previous item:  Swipe right or left with one finger. Item order is left-to-right, 
    top-to-bottom.
     •Select the item above or below:  Set the rotor to Vertical Navigation, then swipe up or down with 
    one finger. If you don’t find Vertical Navigation in the rotor, you might need to add it; see  Use 
    the VoiceOver rotor
     on page 10 9 .
     •Select the first or last item on the screen:  Tap with four fingers at the top or bottom of the screen.
     •Select an item by name:  Triple-tap with two fingers anywhere on the screen to open the Item 
    Chooser. Then type a name in the search field, or swipe right or left to move through the list 
    alphabetically, or tap the table index to the right of the list and swipe up or down to move 
    quickly through the list of items. Or use handwriting to select an item by writing its name; see 
    Write with your finger
     on page 11 0 .
     •Change an item’s name so it’s easier to find:  Select the item, then double-tap and hold with two 
    fingers anywhere on the screen. 
    						
    							 Appendix A    Accessibility 10 6
     •Speak the text of the selected item:  Set the rotor to characters or words, then swipe down or up 
    with one finger.
     •Turn spoken hints on or off:  Go to Settings > General > Accessibility > VoiceOver > Speak Hints.
     •Use phonetic spelling:  Go to Settings > General > Accessibility > VoiceOver > Phonetic Feedback.
     •Speak the entire screen from the top:  Swipe up with two fingers.
     •Speak from the current item to the bottom of the screen:  Swipe down with two fingers.
     •Pause speaking:  Tap once with two fingers. Tap again with two fingers to resume. Speaking 
    resumes when you select another item.
     •Mute VoiceOver:  Double-tap with three fingers. Repeat to unmute. If you’re using an external 
    keyboard, press the Control key.
     •Silence sound effects:  Turn off Settings > General > Accessibility > VoiceOver > Use Sound Effects.
    Use a larger VoiceOver cursor. Turn on Settings > General > Accessibility > VoiceOver > 
    Large Cursor.
    Adjust the speaking voice. You can adjust the characteristics of the VoiceOver speaking voice to 
    make it easier for you to understand:
     •Change the speaking volume:  Use the volume buttons on iPad. You can also add volume to the 
    rotor and swipe up and down to adjust; see Use the VoiceOver rotor
     on page 10 9 .
     •Change the speaking rate:  Go to Settings > General > Accessibility > VoiceOver and drag 
    the Speaking Rate slider. You can also add Speech Rate to the rotor, then swipe up or down 
    to adjust.
     •Use pitch change:  VoiceOver uses a higher pitch when speaking the first item of a group (such 
    as a list or table) and a lower pitch when speaking the last item of a group. Go to Settings > 
    General > Accessibility > VoiceOver > Use Pitch Change. 
     •Speak punctuation: Set the rotor to Punctuation, then swipe up or down to to select how 
    much you want to hear.
     •Change the language for iPad:  Go to Settings > General > International > Language. VoiceOver 
    pronunciation of some languages is affected by Settings > General > International > 
    Region Format.
     •Change pronunciation:  Set the rotor to Language, then swipe up or down. Language is 
    available in the rotor only if you select more than one pronunciation at Settings > General > 
    Accessibility > VoiceOver > Languages & Dialects.
     •Choose which pronunciations are available in the rotor:  Go to Settings > General > Accessibility > 
    VoiceOver > Languages & Dialects. To adjust the voice quality or speaking rate for each language, 
    tap 
     next to the language. To change the order of the languages, drag  up or down. To 
    delete a language, tap Edit.

    Use iPad with VoiceOver
    Unlock iPad. Press either the Home button or the Sleep/Wake button, swipe to select the Unlock 
    slide, then double-tap the screen.
    Enter your passcode silently. To avoid having your passcode spoken as you enter it, use 
    handwriting to enter it; see  Write with your finger
     on page 11 0. 
    						
    							 Appendix A    Accessibility 10 7
    Open an app, toggle a switch, or tap an item. Select the item, then double-tap the screen.
    Double-tap the selected item. Triple-tap the screen.
    Adjust a slider. Select the slider, then swipe up or down with one finger.
    Use a standard gesture. Double-tap and hold your finger on the screen until you hear three 
    rising tones, then make the gesture. When you lift your finger, VoiceOver gestures resume.
    Scroll a list or area of the screen. Swipe up or down with three fingers.
     •Scroll continuously through a list:  Double-tap and hold until you hear three rising tones, then 
    drag up or down.
     •Use the list index:  Some lists have an alphabetical index along the right side. You can’t select 
    the index by swiping between items—you must touch the index directly to select it. With the 
    index selected, swipe up or down to move through the index. You can also double-tap, then 
    slide your finger up or down.
     •Reorder a list:  You can change the order of items in some lists, such as the Rotor items in 
    Accessibility settings. Select 
     to the right side of an item, double-tap and hold until you 
    hear three rising tones, then drag up or down.
    Open Notification Center. Select any item in the status bar, then swipe down with three fingers. To 
    dismiss, do a two-finger scrub (move two fingers back and forth three times quickly, making a “z”).
    Open Control Center. Select any item in the status bar, then swipe up with three fingers. To 
    dismiss Control Center, do a two-finger scrub.
    Switch apps. Press the Home button twice to see what’s running, then swipe left or right with

    to move it to another Home screen. You can continue to select and move items until you press 
    the Home button.
    Speak iPad status information. Tap the status bar at the top of the screen, then swipe left or 
    right to hear information about the time, battery state, Wi-Fi signal strength, and more.
    Speak notifications. Go to Settings > General > Accessibility > VoiceOver and turn on Speak 
    Notifications. Notifications, including the text of incoming text messages, are spoken as they 
    occur, even if iPad is locked. 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.
    Activate
     •Double-tap:  Activate the selected item.
     •Triple-tap:  Double-tap an item.
     •Split-tap:  As an alternative to selecting an item and double-tapping to activate it, touch and 
    hold an item with one finger, and then tap the screen with another.
     •Double-tap and hold (1 second) + standard gesture:  Use a standard gesture. The double-tap  
    and hold gesture tells iPad to interpret the next gesture as standard. For example, you can 
    double-tap and hold, and then without lifting your finger, drag your finger to slide a switch.
     •Two-finger double-tap:  Play or pause in Music, Videos, or Photos. Take a photo in Camera. Start 
    or pause recording in Camera. Start or stop the stopwatch.
     •Two-finger double-tap and hold:  Relabel the selected item.
     •Two-finger triple-tap:  Open the Item Chooser.
     •Three-finger double-tap:  Mute or unmute VoiceOver.
     •Three-finger triple-tap:  Turn the screen curtain on or off. 
    						
    							 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.
