for iOS 5.1 software

Siri
With Siri, you can do things with your iPhone just by asking, and VoiceOver can read Siri responses
to you. For information, see Chapter 4, “Siri,” on page 39.
Triple-click Home
Triple-click Home provides an easy way to turn some of the Accessibility features on or o when
you press the Home button quickly three times. You can set Triple-click Home to:
Turn VoiceOver on or o Â
Turn White on Black on or o Â
Turn Zoom on or o Â
Turn AssistiveTouch on or o Â
You can also set Triple-click Home to present the option to turn VoiceOver, White on Black, or
Zoom on or o. Triple-click Home is turned o by default.
Set the Triple-click Home function: Go to Settings > General > Accessibility > Triple-click Home.
Zoom
Many iPhone apps let you zoom in or out on specic elements. For example, you can double-tap
or use the pinch gesture to expand webpage columns in Safari.
Zoom is also a special accessibility feature that lets you magnify the entire screen of any app
you’re using, to help you see what’s on the display.
While using Zoom with an Apple Wireless Keyboard (see “Using an Apple Wireless Keyboard” on
page 27), the screen image follows the insertion point, keeping it in the center of the display.
Turn Zoom on or o: Go to Settings > General > Accessibility > Zoom. Or, use Triple-click Home.
See “Triple-click Home” on page 15 3.
Note: You can’t use VoiceOver and Zoom at the same time.
Zoom in or out Double-tap the screen with three ngers. By default, the screen is magnied
200 percent. If you manually change the magnication (by using the tap-
and-drag gesture, described below), iPhone automatically returns to that
magnication when you zoom in by double-tapping with three ngers.
Increase magnication With three ngers, tap and drag toward the top of the screen (to
increase magnication) or toward the bottom of the screen (to decrease
magnication). The tap-and-drag gesture is similar to a double-tap, except
you don’t lift your ngers on the second tap—instead, drag your ngers on
the screen. Once you start dragging, you can drag with a single nger.
Move around the screen When zoomed in, drag or ick the screen with three ngers. Once you start
dragging, you can drag with a single nger so that you can see more of
the screen. Hold a single nger near the edge of the display to pan to that
side of the screen image. Move your nger closer to the edge to pan more
quickly. When you open a new screen, Zoom always goes to the top-middle
of the screen.
Large Text
Large Text lets you make the text larger in alerts, and in Calendar, Contacts, Mail, Messages,
and Notes.
Set the text size: Go to Settings > General > Accessibility > Large Text.
