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 iPhone. You can also add volume to
the rotor and swipe up and down to adjust; see Using the VoiceOver rotor control on page 121.
•
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 rst 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.
•
Change the language for iPhone: Go to Settings > General > International > Language.
VoiceOver pronunciation of some languages is aected 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.
•
Select the pronunciations available in the language rotor: Go to Settings > General >
Accessibility > VoiceOver > Language Rotor. To change the position of a language in the list,
drag up or down.
•
Change the basic reading voice: Go to Settings > General > Accessibility > VoiceOver > Use
Compact Voice.
•
Silence sound eects: Go to Settings > General > Accessibility > VoiceOver > Use Sound Eects.
Using iPhone with VoiceOver
Unlock iPhone: Select the Unlock slide, then double-tap the screen.
“Tap” to activate the selected item: Double-tap anywhere on the screen.
“Double-tap” the selected item: Triple-tap anywhere on the screen.
Adjust a slider: Select the slider, then swipe up or down with one nger.
Use a standard gesture when VoiceOver is turned on: Double-tap and hold your nger on the
screen. A series of tones indicates that normal gestures are in force. They remain in eect until
you lift your nger, when VoiceOver gestures resume.
Scroll a list or area of the screen: Swipe up or down with three ngers. 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 nger up or down to scroll the list. Continuous scrolling stops when you lift your nger.
•
Use a list index: Some lists have an alphabetical index along the right side. The index can’t be
selected by swiping between items; you must touch the index directly to select it. With the
index selected, swipe up or down to move along the index. You can also double-tap, then slide
your nger up or down.
•
Reorder a list: You can change the order of items in some lists, such as the Rotor and Language
Rotor items 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.
