Select and Activate

ÂÂ Double-tap:Activate selected item.

ÂÂ Touch an item with one finger, tap the screen with another finger (“split-tapping”): Activate item.

ÂÂ Double-tap and hold (1 second) + standard gesture: Use a standard gesture.

The double-tap and hold gesture tells iPad to interpret the subsequent gesture as standard. For example, you can double-tap and hold, and then without lifting your finger, drag your finger to slide a switch.

You can use standard gestures when VoiceOver is turned on, by double-tapping and holding 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, then VoiceOver gestures resume.

ÂÂ Two-finger double tap: Play or pause in iPod, YouTube, Voice Memos, or Photos. Start or pause recording in Voice Memos. Start or stop the stopwatch.

ÂÂ Three-finger double tap: Mute or unmute VoiceOver.

ÂÂ Three-finger triple tap: Turn the display on or off.

Rotor Control

The rotor is a virtual control that acts like a physical dial when VoiceOver is turned on. Use the rotor to change VoiceOver settings and to access additional commands and features.

Operate the rotor: Rotate two fingers on the iPad screen to “turn” the dial and choose items on the rotor. Flick up and down to use the selected item.

The effect of the rotor depends on what you’re doing. For example, if you’re reading text in an email, you can use the rotor to switch between hearing text spoken word- by-word, character-by-character, or line-by-line when you flick up or down. When you browse a webpage, use the rotor to choose whether you hear text word-by-word or character-by-character, hear just the headers, hear just the links (all of them, visited links, or links not yet visited), hear form elements, or hear descriptions of images. You can use the rotor setting to hear all of the text, or to jump from one element of a certain type (such as headers or links) to another.

Change the language voice: Select the language voice you want in the rotor, then use the rotor to quickly switch language voices.

ÂÂ In Settings, choose General > Accessibility > VoiceOver > Language Rotor. ÂÂ Tap the language voices you want in the language rotor.

ÂÂ Turn the rotor to “languages,” then flick up or down to select the language voice you want to use.

You can also re-order the language voices in Settings. Rotor options depend on the context of what you’re doing.
