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 Format setting (Settings > General > International > Region Format). VoiceOver is available in many languages, but not all.
