VoiceOver

VoiceOver describes aloud what appears onscreen, so that you can use iPad without seeing it.

VoiceOver tells you about each element on the screen as you select it. When you select an element, a black rectangle encloses it (for the benefit of those who can see the screen) and VoiceOver speaks the name or describes the item. The enclosing rectangle is referred to as the VoiceOver cursor.

Touch the screen or drag your fingers to hear different items on the screen. To interact with items on the screen, such as buttons and links, use the gestures described in “VoiceOver Gestures” on page 140. When you select text, VoiceOver reads the text.

If you turn on Speak Hints, VoiceOver may tell you the name of the item. When you select a control (such as a button or switch), VoiceOver provides instructions for you— for example, “double-tap to open.”

When you go to a new screen, VoiceOver plays a sound and automatically selects and speaks the first element of the screen (typically, the item in the upper-left corner). VoiceOver also lets you know when the display changes to landscape or portrait orientation, and when the screen is locked or unlocked.

Note: VoiceOver speaks in the language specified in International settings, which may be influenced by the Region Locale setting. VoiceOver is available in many languages, but not all.
