“Double-tap” a selected item when VoiceOver is turned on: Triple-tap anywhere on the screen.

Speak the text of an element, character-by-character or word-by-word: With the element selected, flick up or down with one finger. Flick down to read the next character, or flick up to read the previous character. Use phonetics to have VoiceOver also speak a word beginning with the character being spoken. See “Setting Up VoiceOver” on page 191.

Twist the rotor control to have VoiceOver read word-by-word.

Adjust a slider: With a single finger, flick up to increase the setting or down to decrease the setting. VoiceOver announces the setting as you adjust it.

Scroll a list or area of the screen

Flick up or down with three fingers. Flick down to page down

 

through the list or screen, or flick up to page up. When paging

 

through a list, VoiceOver speaks the range of items displayed

 

(for example, “showing rows 5 through 10”).

 

You can also scroll continuously through a list, instead of

 

paging through it. Double-tap and hold. When you hear a

 

series of tones, you can move your finger up or down to scroll

 

the list. Continuous scrolling stops when you lift your finger.

 

 

 

Use a list index

Some lists have an alphabetical index along the right side.

 

The index cannot be selected by flicking between elements;

 

you must touch the index directly to select it. With the index

 

selected, flick up or down to move along the index. You can

 

also double-tap, then slide your finger up or down.

 

 

 

Reorder a list

Some lists, such as Favorites in Phone, and Web Rotor and

 

Language Rotor in Accessibility settings can be reordered.

 

Select

 

on the right side of an item, double-tap and hold

 

 

 

 

 

until you hear a sound, then drag up or down. VoiceOver

 

speaks the item you’ve moved above or below, depending on

 

the direction you’re dragging.

 

 

 

 

Unlock iPod touch: Select the Unlock switch, then double-tap the screen.

Rearrange the Home screen: On the Home screen select the icon you want to move. Double-tap and hold, then drag the icon. VoiceOver speaks the row and column position as your drag the icon. Release the icon when it’s in the location you want. You can drag additional icons. Drag an item to the left or right edge of the screen to move it to another page of the Home screen. When you’re finished, press the Home button.
