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 on one hand, or one finger on each hand. You can even use your thumbs. Some people 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. 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 are some 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 13 4 . •Two-finger swipe up: Read all from the top of the screen. •Two-finger swipe down: Read all from the current position. •Two-finger tap: Stop or resume speaking. •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).
Appendix A Accessibility 13 4 •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, 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, 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 or start or pause recording in Camera. Start or stop the stopwatch. •Two-finger double-tap and hold: Change an item’s label to make it easier to find. •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. Use the VoiceOver rotor Use the rotor to choose what happens when you swipe up or down with VoiceOver turned on, or to select special input methods such as Braille Screen Input or Handwriting. Operate the rotor. Rotate two fingers on the screen around a point between them. Choose your rotor options. Go to Settings > General > Accessibility > VoiceOver > Rotor, then select the options you want to include in the rotor. The available rotor options 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 13 7 . 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.
Appendix A Accessibility 13 5 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. •Direct Touch typing: VoiceOver is disabled for the keyboard only, so you can type just as you do when VoiceOver is off. •Choose typing style: Go to Settings > General > Accessibility > VoiceOver > Typing Style. Or, set the rotor to 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. To jump to the beginning or end, double-tap the text. 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. 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 any of the VoiceOver typing styles. 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 choose 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.
Appendix A Accessibility 13 6 Enter an accented character. In standard typing style, 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. In touch typing style, touch and hold a character until the alternate characters appear. Change the keyboard language. Set the rotor to Language, then swipe up or down. Choose “default language” to use the language specified in Language & Region settings. The Language rotor item appears only if you select more than one language in Settings > General > Accessibility > VoiceOver > Speech. Write with your finger Handwriting mode lets you enter text by writing characters on the screen with your finger. In addition to normal text entry, use handwriting mode to enter your iPad passcode silently or open apps from the Home screen. Enter handwriting mode. Use the rotor to select Handwriting. If Handwriting isn’t in the rotor, go to Settings > General > Accessibility > VoiceOver > Rotor, then 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’s unique, or swipe up or down with two fingers to choose from the current matches. Enter your passcode silently. Set the rotor to Handwriting on the passcode screen, then write the characters of your passcode. Use a table index to skip through a long list. Select the table index to the right of the table (for example, next to your Contacts list or in the VoiceOver Item Chooser), then write the letter. Set the rotor to a web browsing element type. Write the first letter of a page element type. For example, write “l” to have up or down swipes skip to links, or “h” to skip to headings. Exit handwriting mode. Do a two-finger scrub, or turn the rotor to a different selection. Type onscreen braille With Braille Screen Input enabled, you can use your fingers to enter 6-dot, 8-dot, or contracted braille codes directly on the iPad screen. Tap codes with iPad laying flat in front of you (tabletop mode), or hold iPad with the screen facing away so your fingers curl back to tap the screen (screen away mode). Turn on Braille Screen Input. Use the rotor to select Braille Screen Input. If you don’t find it in the rotor, go to Settings > General > Accessibility > VoiceOver > Rotor, then add it. Enter braille codes. Place iPad flat in front of you or hold it with the screen facing away, then tap the screen with one or several fingers at the same time. Adjust entry dot positions. To move the entry dots to match your natural finger positions, double-tap six or eight fingers at the same time.
