Click Summary, then click Configure Universal Access at the bottom of the Summary screen. For more information about iPod touch accessibility features, go to www.apple.com/accessibility . VoiceOver VoiceOver describes aloud what appears onscreen, so you can use iPod touch without seeing it. VoiceOver tells you about each item on the screen as you select it. When you select an item, the VoiceOver cursor (a black rectangle) 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 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 10 9. When you go to a new screen, VoiceOver plays a sound, then selects and speaks the first item 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 becomes locked or unlocked.
Chapter 31 Accessibility 10 7 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 used to control iPod touch. Once VoiceOver is turned on, you have to use VoiceOver gestures to operate iPod touch—even to turn VoiceOver off again to resume standard operation.

Adjust a slider: Select the slider, then flick up or down with one finger. Use a standard gesture when VoiceOver is turned on: Double-tap and hold 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, when VoiceOver gestures resume. Scroll a list or area of the screen: Flick up or down with three fingers. When paging through a list, VoiceOver speaks the range of items displayed (for example, “showing rows 5 through 10”). •Scroll continuously through a list: Double-tap and hold. When you hear a series of tones, 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 items; 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: You can change the order of items in some lists, such as the Rotor and Language Rotor settings in Accessibility settings. Select on the right side of an item, double-tap and hold until you hear a sound, then drag up or down. VoiceOver speaks the item you’ve moved above or below, depending on the direction you’re dragging. Rearrange your Home screen: On the Home screen, select the icon you want to move. Double-tap and 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, press the Home button . Speak the iPod touch status information: Tap the top of the screen to hear information about the time, battery life, Wi-Fi signal strength, and more.

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.
Chapter 31 Accessibility 10 9 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 items. 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 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 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: Speak the item. •Swipe right or left: Select the next or previous item. •Swipe up or down: Depends on the Rotor Control setting. See Using the VoiceOver rotor control on page 11 0 . •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 (such as the Home screen, Stocks, or Safari). •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 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 iPod touch 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.
Chapter 31 Accessibility 11 0 •Two-finger double-tap: Play or pause in Music, Videos, Voice Memos, or Photos. Take a photo in Camera. Start or pause recording in Camera or Voice Memos. 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. Using the VoiceOver rotor control Use the rotor to choose what happens when you flick up or down with VoiceOver turned on. Operate the rotor: Rotate two fingers on the iPod touch 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 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 flick 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, a speech rotor lets you adjust settings such as volume, speech rate, use of pitch or phonetics, typing echo, and reading of punctuation. See Controlling VoiceOver using an Apple Wireless Keyboard on page 11 2 . Entering and editing text with VoiceOver When you enter an editable text field, you can use the onscreen keyboard or an external keyboard connected to iPod touch to enter text. Enter text: Select an editable text field, double-tap to display the insertion point and the onscreen keyboard, then type characters. •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.
