Entering and Editing Text

When you select a text field with VoiceOver, you can use the onscreen keyboard to enter text. You can use the editing features of iPod touch to cut, copy, or paste in the text field.

Note: Safari doesn’t support copying webpage content. The editing features work only in editable text fields.

Enter text:

VoiceOver tells you the position of the insertion point.

The insertion point and onscreen keyboard may appear automatically when you select a text field. VoiceOver announces when you’re in editing mode.

VoiceOver speaks the key when it’s selected, and again when it’s entered.

To enter an accented character, double-tap and hold until you hear a sound that indicates the alternate characters have appeared, then drag left or right to select and hear the choices. Release your finger to enter the current selection.
