Write with your finger

Handwriting mode lets you enter text by writing characters on the screen with your finger. In addition to normal text entry, use handwriting mode to enter your iPad passcode silently or open apps from the Home screen.

Enter handwriting mode. Use the rotor to select Handwriting. If Handwriting isn’t in the rotor, go to Settings > General > Accessibility > VoiceOver > Rotor, then add it.

Select an item on the Home screen. Start writing the name of the item. If there are multiple matches, continue to spell the name until it’s unique, or swipe up or down with two fingers to choose from the current matches.

Enter your passcode silently. Set the rotor to Handwriting on the passcode screen, then write the characters of your passcode.

Use a table index to skip through a long list. Select the table index to the right of the table (for example, next to your Contacts list or in the VoiceOver Item Chooser), then write the letter.

Set the rotor to a web browsing element type. Write the first letter of a page element type. For example, write “l” to have up or down swipes skip to links, or “h” to skip to headings.

Exit handwriting mode. Do a two-finger scrub, or turn the rotor to a different selection.

Type onscreen braille

With Braille Screen Input enabled, you can use your fingers to enter 6-dot, 8-dot, or contracted braille codes directly on the iPad screen. Tap codes with iPad laying flat in front of you (tabletop mode), or hold iPad with the screen facing away so your fingers curl back to tap the screen (screen away mode).

Turn on Braille Screen Input. Use the rotor to select Braille Screen Input. If you don’t find it in the rotor, go to Settings > General > Accessibility > VoiceOver > Rotor, then add it.

Enter braille codes. Place iPad flat in front of you or hold it with the screen facing away, then tap the screen with one or several fingers at the same time.

Adjust entry dot positions. To move the entry dots to match your natural finger positions, double-tap six or eight fingers at the same time.
