VoiceOver Basics

on, you have to use VoiceOver gestures to operate iPod touch—even to turn VoiceOver o again
to resume standard operation.
Note: You can’t use VoiceOver and Zoom at the same time. See Zoom on page 115 .
Turn VoiceOver on: Go to Settings > General > Accessibility > VoiceOver. Or you can set

Lift your nger to leave an item selected.
Select an item: Tap it, or lift your nger while dragging over it.
Select the next or previous item: Flick right or left with one nger. Item order is left-to-right,

quickly through the list of items.
Change the name of the selected item so it’s easier to nd: Double-tap and hold with two ngers
anywhere on the screen.

Speaking resumes when you select another item.
Mute VoiceOver: Double-tap with three ngers. Double-tap again with three ngers to turn
speaking back on. To turn o only VoiceOver sounds, set the Ring/Silent switch to Silent. If an
external keyboard is connected, you can also press the Control key on the keyboard to mute
or unmute VoiceOver.
Adjust the speaking voice: You can adjust the characteristics of the VoiceOver speaking voice to
