Use iPad with VoiceOver

Unlock iPad. Press either the Home button or the Sleep/Wake button, swipe to select the Unlock button, then double-tap the screen.

Enter your passcode silently. To avoid having your passcode spoken as you enter it, use handwriting; see Write with your finger on page 136.

Open an app, toggle a switch, or tap an item. Select the item, then double-tap the screen. Double-tap the selected item. Triple-tap the screen.

Adjust a slider. Select the slider, then swipe up or down with one finger.

Use a standard gesture. Double-tap and hold your finger on the screen until you hear three rising tones, then make the gesture. When you lift your finger, VoiceOver gestures resume. For example, to drag a volume slider with your finger instead of swiping up and down, select the slider, double-tap and hold, wait for the three tones, then slide left or right.

Scroll a list or area of the screen. Swipe up or down with three fingers.
