Making Phone Calls with VoiceOver

Double-tap the screen with two fingers to answer or end a call. When a phone call is established with VoiceOver on, the screen displays the numeric keypad by default, instead of showing call options. This makes it easier to use the keypad to respond to a menu of options when you reach an automated system.

Display call options: Select the Hide Keypad button in the lower-right corner and double-tap.

Display the numeric keypad again: Select the Keypad button near the center of the screen and double-tap.

Entering and Editing Text

When you enter an editable text field, you can use the onscreen keyboard or an external keyboard connected to iPhone to enter text.

There are two ways to enter text in VoiceOver—standard typing and “touch” typing. With standard typing, you select a key, then double-tap the screen to enter the character. With touch typing, you touch to select a key and the character is entered automatically when you lift your finger. Touch typing can be quicker, but may require more practice than standard typing.
