Entering and editing text with VoiceOver

When you select a text eld with VoiceOver, you can use the onscreen keyboard or an external

keyboard connected to iPhone to enter text.

There are two ways to enter text in VoiceOver—standard typing and touch typing. With standard

typing, you select a key, then double-tap the screen to enter the character. With touch typing, you

touch to select a key and the character is entered automatically when you lift your nger. Touch

typing can be quicker, but may require more practice than standard typing.

VoiceOver also lets you use the editing features of iPhone to cut, copy, or paste in a text eld.

Enter text: Select an editable text eld, double-tap to display the insertion point and the

onscreen keyboard, and type characters.

Â Standard typing: Select a key on the keyboard by icking left or right, then double-tap to enter

the character. Or move you nger around the keyboard to select a key and, while continuing

to touch the key with one nger, tap the screen with another nger. VoiceOver speaks the key

when it’s selected, and again when the character is entered.

Â Touch typing: Touch a key on the keyboard to select it, then lift your nger to enter the

character. If you touch the wrong key, move your nger on the keyboard until you select the

key you want. VoiceOver speaks the character for each key as you touch it, but doesn’t enter a

character until you lift your nger.

Note: Touch typing works only for the keys that enter text. Use standard typing for other keys

such as Shift, Delete, and Return.

Move the insertion point: Flick up or down to move the insertion point forward or backward

in the text. Use the rotor to choose whether you want to move the insertion point by character,

by word, or by line. VoiceOver makes a sound when the insertion point moves, and speaks the

character, word, or line that the insertion point moves across.

When moving forward by words, the insertion point is placed at the end of each word, before

the space or punctuation that follows. When moving backward, the insertion point is placed

at the end of the preceding word, before the space or punctuation that follows it. To move the

insertion point past the punctuation at the end of a word or sentence, use the rotor to switch

back to character mode. When moving the insertion point by line, VoiceOver speaks each line as

you move across it. When moving forward, the insertion point is placed at the beginning of the

next line (except when you reach the last line of a paragraph, when the insertion point is moved

to the end of the line just spoken). When moving backward, the insertion point is placed at the

beginning of the line that’s spoken.
