VoiceOver
VoiceOver describes aloud what appears onscreen, so you can use iPod touch without seeing it.
VoiceOver tells you about each item on the screen as you select it. When you select an item, the
VoiceOver cursor (a black rectangle) encloses it and VoiceOver speaks the name or describes
the item.
Touch the screen or drag your ngers to hear dierent 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 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 109.
When you go to a new screen, VoiceOver plays a sound, then selects and speaks the rst item
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 becomes locked
or unlocked.
