Use pitch change: VoiceOver uses a higher pitch when speaking the first 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 iPad: Go to Settings > General > International > Language. VoiceOver pronunciation of some languages is affected 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.

Using iPad with VoiceOver

Unlock iPad: 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 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”). You can also scroll continuously through a list, instead of paging through it. 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.

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 iPad status information: Tap the top of the screen to hear information about the time, battery life, Wi-Fi signal strength, and more.
