You can hear iPad status information by tapping the status bar at the top of the screen. This includes the time, battery life, Wi-Fi signal strength, and more.

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 iPad 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:

1Use VoiceOver to select an editable text field, then double-tap to display the insertion point and bring up the onscreen keyboard. If the field already contains text, the insertion point is placed at the beginning or at the end of the text. Double-tap again to place the insertion point at the opposite end. 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—based on the rotor setting.

2To type, do one of the following:

ÂÂ “Touch-type” by dragging your finger to select a key, then lifting your finger to enter the character.

ÂÂ “Standard-type” by flicking left or right to select a key on the keyboard, then double- tapping to enter the character.

ÂÂ Enter a character by dragging your finger around the keyboard to select a key, and, while holding the key with one finger, tapping the screen with another finger.

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

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

Move the insertion point: Flick up or down to move the insertion point forward or backward in the text. VoiceOver makes a sound when the insertion point moves, and speaks the character that the insertion point moved across. Use the rotor to choose whether you want to move the insertion point by characters, words, or lines.

Select text: Use the rotor to choose edit. Flick up or down to choose between the Select and Select All functions, then double-tap. If you chose Select, the word closest to the insertion point is selected when you double-tap. If you chose Select All, all the text is selected.

Pinch to increase or decrease the selection.
