Using VoiceOver

iPod shuffle can help provide more control over your playback options by speaking track titles and artist names, and announcing playlists for you to choose from. VoiceOver also tells you battery status and speaks other messages.

To hear these announcements, enable VoiceOver in iTunes. You can enable VoiceOver when you first set up iPod shuffle, or do it later. VoiceOver is available in selected languages.

You set VoiceOver options on the Summary tab in iTunes. The following tasks describe how to turn on and customize VoiceOver.

Enable VoiceOver when you set up iPod shuffle:

1Connect iPod shuffle to your computer.

2Follow the onscreen instructions in iTunes. The Enable VoiceOver option is selected by default.

3 Click Continue.

4In the Summary pane, under Voice Feedback, choose the language you want from the Language pop-up menu.

This sets the language for your spoken system messages and playlist names, as well as many of the song titles and artist names.

Note: To pick a different language for specific tracks, select them in iTunes, choose File > Get Info, choose a VoiceOver language from the pop-up menu in the Options pane, then click OK.

5Click Apply.

When setup is complete, VoiceOver is enabled on iPod shuffle.
