Using VoiceOver
Select items on the screen: Drag your nger over the screen. VoiceOver identies
each element as you touch it. You can move systematically from one element to the
next by icking left or right with a single nger. Elements are selected from left-to-
right, top-to-bottom. Flick right to go to the next element, or ick left to go to the
previous element.
Use four-nger gestures to select the rst or last element on a screen.
 Select the rst element on a screen: Flick up with four ngers.
 Select the last element on a screen: Flick down with four ngers.
“Tap” a selected item when VoiceOver is turned on: Double-tap anywhere on
the screen.
“Double-tap” a selected item when VoiceOver is turned on: Triple-tap anywhere
on the screen.
Speak the text of an element, character-by-character or word-by-word: With
the element selected, ick up or down with one nger. Flick down to read the next
character, or ick up to read the previous character. Use phonetics to have VoiceOver
also speak a word beginning with the character being spoken. See “Setting Up
VoiceOver” on page 237.
Twist the rotor control to have VoiceOver read word-by-word.
Adjust a slider: With a single nger, ick up to increase the setting or down to
decrease the setting. VoiceOver announces the setting as you adjust it.
Scroll a list or area of the screen Flick up or down with three ngers. Flick down to page
down through the list or screen, or ick 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 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 icking between elements;
you must touch the index directly to select it. With the index
selected, ick up or down to move along the index. You can
also double-tap, then slide your nger up or down.
Reorder a list Some lists, such as Favorites in Phone, and Web 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. VoiceOver
speaks the item you’ve moved above or below, depending
on the direction you’re dragging.
Unlock iPhone: Select the Unlock switch, then double-tap the screen.
