Using the VoiceOver rotor control

The rotor control is a virtual dial that you can use to change the results of up and down ick

gestures when VoiceOver is turned on.

Operate the rotor: Rotate two ngers on the iPhone screen around a point between them.

Change the options included in the rotor: Go to Settings > General > Accessibility > VoiceOver >

Rotor and select the options you want to be available using the rotor.

The eect of the rotor setting depends on what you’re doing. If you’re reading text in an email

you received, you can use the rotor to switch between hearing text spoken word-by-word or

character-by-character when you ick up or down. If you’re browsing a webpage, you can use the

rotor setting to hear all the text (either word-by-word or character-by-character), or to jump from

one element to another of a certain type, such as headers or links.
