VoiceOver

VoiceOver describes aloud what appears onscreen, so you can use iPhone without seeing it.

VoiceOver tells you about each element on the screen as you select it. When you select an

element, a black rectangle (the VoiceOver cursor) encloses it and VoiceOver speaks the name or

describes the item.

Touch the screen or drag your ngers to hear dierent items on the screen. When you select text,

VoiceOver reads the text. If you turn on Speak Hints, VoiceOver may tell you the name of the item

and provide instructions for you—for example, “double-tap to open.” To interact with items on the

screen, such as buttons and links, use the gestures described in “Learning VoiceOver gestures” on

page 145.

When you go to a new screen, VoiceOver plays a sound and automatically selects and speaks

the rst element of the screen (typically, the item in the upper-left corner). 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 specied in International settings, which may be

inuenced by the Region Format setting (Settings > General > International > Region Format).

VoiceOver is available in many languages, but not all.

Setting up VoiceOver

Important: VoiceOver changes the gestures you use to control iPhone. Once VoiceOver is turned

on, you must use VoiceOver gestures to operate iPhone—even to turn VoiceOver o again to

resume standard operation.

Note: You can’t use VoiceOver and Zoom at the same time.

Turn VoiceOver on or o: Go to Settings > General > Accessibility > VoiceOver. You can also set

Triple-click Home to turn VoiceOver on or o. See “Triple-click Home” on page 153 .

Turn spoken hints on or o Go to Settings > General > Accessibility > VoiceOver. When Speak Hints

is turned on, VoiceOver may tell you the action of the item or provide

instructions for you—for example, “double-tap to open.” You can also

add Hints to the rotor, then swipe up or down to adjust. See “Using the

VoiceOver rotor control

” on page 147.

Set the VoiceOver speaking rate Go to Settings > General > Accessibility > VoiceOver and drag the Speaking

Rate slider. You can also add Speech Rate to the rotor, then swipe up or

down to adjust. See “Using the VoiceOver rotor control

” on page 147.

Use phonetics in typing feedback Go to Settings > General > Accessibility > VoiceOver > Use Phonetics. Text

is read character-by-character. Voiceover rst speaks the character, then its

phonetic equivalent—for example, “f” and then “foxtrot.”

Use pitch change Go to Settings > General > Accessibility > VoiceOver > Use Pitch Change.

VoiceOver uses a higher pitch when entering a letter, and a lower pitch

when deleting a letter. VoiceOver also uses a higher pitch when speaking

the rst item of a group (such as a list or table) and a lower pitch when

speaking the last item of a group.

or deselect options, or drag
