Accessibility

Siri is accessible to blind and visually impaired users through VoiceOver, the screen reader built into iOS. VoiceOver describes aloud what’s onscreen—including any text in Siri’s responses—so you can use iPod touch without seeing it.

Turn on VoiceOver: Go to Settings > General > Accessibility.

Turning on VoiceOver causes even your notifications to be read aloud for you. For more information, see VoiceOver on page 106.

Setting options for Siri

Turn Siri on or off: Go to Settings > General > Siri.

Note: Turning Siri off resets Siri, and Siri forgets what it’s learned about your voice.

Set options for Siri: Go to Settings > General > Siri.

Language: Select the language you want to use with Siri.

Voice Feedback: By default, Siri speaks its responses only when you use Siri with a headset. If you want Siri to always speak its responses, set this option to Always.

My Info: Let Siri know which card in Contacts contains your personal info. See Telling Siri about yourself on page 36.

Allow or prevent access to Siri when iPod touch is locked with a passcode: Go to Settings > General > Passcode Lock.

You can also disable Siri by turning on restrictions. See Restrictions on page 123.

Restaurants

Siri works with Yelp, OpenTable, and others to provide information about restaurants and help you make reservations. Ask to find restaurants by cuisine, price, location, outdoor seating, or a combination of options. Siri can show you available photos, Yelp stars, price range, and reviews. Get more information by using the Yelp and OpenTable apps—iPod touch prompts you to download them if you don’t already have them installed.
