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 iPhone 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.

2To type, select a key on the keyboard by flicking left or right, then double-tap to enter the character. Or drag you finger around the keyboard to select a key, and, while holding the key with one finger, tap the screen with another finger to enter the character. 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.
