Using the VoiceOver Feature

iPod shuffle can provide more control over your playback options by speaking your song titles and artist names, and announcing a menu of playlists for you to choose from. VoiceOver also tells you battery status and other messages. VoiceOver is available in selected languages.

To hear these announcements, install the VoiceOver Kit and enable the VoiceOver feature in iTunes. You can enable VoiceOver when you first set up iPod shuffle, or you can do it later.

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

3Click Continue, and then follow the onscreen instructions to download and install the VoiceOver Kit.

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