    							VoiceOver
    VoiceOver describes aloud what appears onscreen, so you can use iPhone without seeing it.
    VoiceOver tells you about each element on the screen as you select it. When you select an 
    element, a black rectangle (the VoiceOver cursor) encloses it and VoiceOver speaks the name or 
    describes the item.
    Touch the screen or drag your fingers to hear different 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 you—for example, “double-tap to open.” To interact with items on the 
    screen, such as buttons and links, use the gestures described in “Learning VoiceOver gestures
    ” on 
    page 145 .
    When you go to a new screen, VoiceOver plays a sound and automatically selects and speaks 
    the first element of the screen (typically, the item in the upper-left corner). VoiceOver also lets 
    you know when the display changes to landscape or portrait orientation, and when the screen is 
    locked or unlocked.
    Note:   VoiceOver speaks in the language specified in International settings, which may be 
    influenced by the Region Format setting (Settings > General > International > Region Format). 
    VoiceOver is available in many languages, but not all.
    Setting up VoiceOver
    Important:   VoiceOver changes the gestures you use to control iPhone. Once VoiceOver is turned 
    on, you must use VoiceOver gestures to operate iPhone—even to turn VoiceOver off again to 
    resume standard operation.
    Note:   You can’t use VoiceOver and Zoom at the same time.
    Turn VoiceOver on or off:   Go to Settings > General > Accessibility > VoiceOver. You can also set 
    Triple-click Home to turn VoiceOver on or off. See “ Triple-click Home
    ” on page 15 3 .
    Turn spoken hints on or offGo to Settings > General > Accessibility > VoiceOver. When Speak Hints 
    is turned on, VoiceOver may tell you the action of the item or provide 
    instructions for you—for example, “double-tap to open.” You can also 
    add Hints to the rotor, then swipe up or down to adjust. See “Using the 
    VoiceOver rotor control
    ” on page 14 7 .
    Set the VoiceOver 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. See “Using the VoiceOver rotor control
    ” on page 14 7 .
    Change typing feedback Go to Settings > General > Accessibility > VoiceOver > Typing Feedback.
    Use phonetics in typing feedback Go to Settings > General > Accessibility > VoiceOver > Use Phonetics. Text 
    is read character-by-character. Voiceover first speaks the character, then its 
    phonetic equivalent—for example, “f ” and then “foxtrot.”
    Use pitch change Go to Settings > General > Accessibility > VoiceOver > Use Pitch Change. 
    VoiceOver uses a higher pitch when entering a letter, and a lower pitch 
    when deleting a letter. VoiceOver also 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.
    Set rotor options Go to Settings > General > Accessibility > VoiceOver > Rotor. Tap to select 
    or deselect options, or drag 
     up to reposition an item.

    Using VoiceOver
    Select items on the screen:
      Drag your finger over the screen. VoiceOver identifies each element 
    as you touch it. You can move systematically from one element to the next by flicking left or right 
    with a single finger. Elements are selected from left-to-right, top-to-bottom. Flick right to go to the 
    next element, or flick left to go to the previous element.

    Scroll a list or area of the screen Flick up or down with three fingers. Flick down to page down through the 
    list or screen, or flick up to page up. When paging through a list, VoiceOver 
    speaks the range of items displayed (for example, “showing rows 5 through 
    10”). You can also scroll continuously through a list, instead of paging 
    through it. Double-tap and hold. When you hear a series of tones, you can 
    move your finger up or down to scroll the list. Continuous scrolling stops 
    when you lift your finger.
    Use a list index Some lists have an alphabetical index along the right side. The index can’t 
    be selected by flicking between elements; you must touch the index 
    directly to select it. With the index selected, flick up or down to move along 
    the index. You can also double-tap, then slide your finger up or down.
    Reorder a list Some lists, such as Favorites in Phone, and Rotor and Language Rotor in 
    Accessibility settings can be reordered. Select 
     on the right side of an 
    item, double-tap and hold until you hear a sound, then drag up or down.

    hold the icon, then drag it. VoiceOver speaks the row and column position 
    as you drag the icon. Release the icon when it’s in the location you want. 
    You can drag additional icons. Drag an item to the left or right edge of the 
    screen to move it to a different page of the Home screen. When you finish,

    Learning VoiceOver gestures
    When VoiceOver is turned on, the standard touchscreen gestures have different effects. These and 
    some additional gestures let you move around the screen and control individual elements when 
    they’re selected. VoiceOver gestures include two- and three-finger gestures to tap or flick. For best 
    results when using two- and three-finger gestures, relax and let your fingers touch the screen with 
    some space between them.
    You can use standard gestures when VoiceOver is turned on, by double-tapping and holding your 
    finger on the screen. A series of tones indicates that normal gestures are in force. They remain in 
    effect until you lift your finger. Then VoiceOver gestures resume.
    You can use different techniques to enter VoiceOver gestures. For example, you can enter a 
    two-finger tap using two fingers from one hand, or one finger from each hand. You can also use 
    your thumbs. Many find the “split-tap” gesture especially effective: instead of selecting an item 
    and double-tapping, you can 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 your gestures don’t work, try quicker movements, especially for double-tapping and flicking 
    gestures. To flick, try quickly brushing the screen with your finger or fingers. When VoiceOver is 
    turned on, the VoiceOver Practice button appears, which gives you a chance to practice VoiceOver 
    gestures before proceeding.
    Practice gestures:  Go to Settings > General > Accessibility > VoiceOver, then tap VoiceOver 
    Practice. When you finish practicing, tap Done.

    							Using the VoiceOver rotor control
    The rotor control is a virtual dial that you can use to change the results of up and down flick 
    gestures when VoiceOver is turned on.
    Operate the rotor:  Rotate two fingers on the iPhone screen around a point between them.
    Change the options included in the rotor:   Go to Settings > General > Accessibility > VoiceOver > 
    Rotor and select the options you want to be available using the rotor.
    The effect of the rotor setting depends on what you’re doing. If you’re reading text in an email 
    you received, you can use the rotor to switch between hearing text spoken word-by-word or 
    character-by-character when you flick up or down. If you’re browsing a webpage, you can use the 
    rotor setting to hear all the text (either word-by-word or character-by-character), or to jump from 
    one element to another of a certain type, such as headers or links.

    Entering and editing text with VoiceOver
    When you select a text field with VoiceOver, you can use the onscreen keyboard or an external 
    keyboard connected to iPhone to enter text.
    There are two ways to enter text in VoiceOver—standard typing and touch typing. With standard 
    typing, you select a key, then double-tap the screen to enter the character. With touch typing, you 
    touch to select a key and the character is entered automatically when you lift your finger. Touch 
    typing can be quicker, but may require more practice than standard typing.
    VoiceOver also lets you use the editing features of iPhone to cut, copy, or paste in a text field.
    Enter text:   Select an editable text field, double-tap to display the insertion point and the 
    onscreen keyboard, and type characters.
     ÂStandard typing:   Select a key on the keyboard by flicking left or right, then double-tap to enter 
    the character. Or move you 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.
     ÂTouch typing:   Touch a key on the keyboard to select it, then lift your finger to enter the 
    character. If you touch the wrong key, move your finger on the keyboard until you select 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.
    Note:   Touch typing works only for the keys that enter text. Use standard typing for other keys 
    such as Shift, Delete, and Return.
    Move the insertion point:   Flick 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. To 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.

    							Choose standard or touch typingWith VoiceOver turned on and a key selected on the keyboard, use the 
    rotor to select Typing Mode, then flick up or down.
    Delete a character Select the 
    , then double-tap or split-tap. You must do this even when 
    touch typing. To delete multiple characters, touch and hold the Delete key, 
    then tap the screen with another finger once for each character you want 
    to delete. VoiceOver speaks the 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, flick 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. If you chose Select All, the entire text is 
    selected. Pinch apart or together to increase or decrease the selection.
    Cut, copy, or paste Make sure the rotor is set to edit. With text selected, flick up or down to 
    choose Cut, Copy, or Paste, then double-tap.
    Undo Shake iPhone, flick 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 language you’re  
    typing in Set the rotor to Language, then flick up or down. Choose “default language” 
    to use the language specified in International settings. The Language 
    rotor appears only if you select more than one language in the VoiceOver 
    Language Rotor setting. See “Setting up VoiceOver
    ”
     on page 143 .
    Making phone calls with VoiceOver
    Double-tap the screen with two fingers to answer or end a call. When a phone call is established 
    with VoiceOver on, the screen displays the numeric keypad by default, instead of showing call 
    options. This makes it easier to use the keypad to respond to a menu of options when you reach 
    an automated system.
    Display call options:   Select the Hide Keypad button in the lower-right corner and double-tap.
    Display the numeric keypad again:   Select the Keypad button near the center of the screen and 
    double-tap.
    Using VoiceOver with Safari
    When you search the web in Safari with VoiceOver on, the Search Results rotor items lets you hear 
    the list of suggested search phrases.
    Search the web:   Select the search field, enter your search, then select Search Results using the 
    rotor. Flick right or left to move down or up the list, then double-tap the screen to search the web 
    using the current search phrase.
    Using VoiceOver with Maps
    You can use VoiceOver to zoom in or out, select pins, and get information about locations.
    Zoom in or out:   Select the map, use the rotor to choose zoom mode, then flick up or down to 
    zoom in or out.
    Select a pin:   Touch a pin, or flick left or right to move from one item to another. 
    Get information about a location:   With a pin selected, double-tap to display the information flag.
