About VoiceOver
VoiceOver describes aloud what appears onscreen, so you can use iPad 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 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 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 11 0 .

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 specied in International settings, which may be
inuenced 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 iPad. Once VoiceOver is turned on,
you must use VoiceOver gestures to operate iPad—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

Learning VoiceOver gestures
When VoiceOver is turned on, the standard touchscreen gestures have dierent eects. These and
some additional gestures let you move around the screen and control individual elements when
they’re selected. VoiceOver gestures include two- and three-nger gestures to tap or ick. For best
results when using two- and three-nger gestures, relax and let your ngers touch the screen with
some space between them.
You can use standard gestures when VoiceOver is turned on, by double-tapping and holding your
nger on the screen. A series of tones indicates that normal gestures are in force. They remain in
eect until you lift your nger. Then VoiceOver gestures resume.
You can use dierent techniques to enter VoiceOver gestures. For example, you can enter a
two-nger tap using two ngers from one hand, or one nger from each hand. You can also use
your thumbs. Many nd the “split-tap” gesture especially eective: instead of selecting an item
and double-tapping, you can touch and hold an item with one nger, then tap the screen with
another nger. Try dierent techniques to discover which works best for you.
If your gestures don’t work, try quicker movements, especially for double-tapping and icking
gestures. To ick, try quickly brushing the screen with your nger or ngers. When VoiceOver is
turned on, the VoiceOver Practice button appears, which gives you a chance to practice VoiceOver
gestures before proceeding.
Practice gestures: Go to Settings > General > Accessibility > VoiceOver, then tap VoiceOver Practice.
When you nish practicing, tap Done.
If you don’t see the VoiceOver Practice button, make sure VoiceOver is turned on.
Here’s a summary of key VoiceOver gestures:
Navigate and read
 Tap: Speak item.
 Flick right or left: Select the next or previous item.
 Flick up or down: Depends on the Rotor Control setting. See “Using the VoiceOver rotor
control” on page 111 .

 Two-nger “scrub”: Move two ngers back and forth three times quickly (making a “z”) to
dismiss an alert or go back to the previous screen.
 Two-nger triple tap: Open the Item Chooser.
 Three-nger ick up or down: Scroll one page at a time.
 Three-nger ick right or left: Go to the next or previous page (such as the Home screen, Stocks,
or Safari).
 Three-nger tap: Speak additional information, such as position within a list or whether text
is selected.
 Four-nger tap at top of screen: Select the rst item on the page.
 Four-nger tap at bottom of screen: Select the last item on the page.
Activate
 Double-tap: Activate the selected item.
 Triple-tap: Double-tap an item.
 Split-tap: An alternative to selecting an item and double-tapping is to touch an item with one
nger, then tap the screen with another to activate an item.
 Touch an item with one nger, tap the screen with another nger (“split-tapping”): Activate the item.
 Double-tap and hold (1 second) + standard gesture: Use a standard gesture.
The double-tap and hold gesture tells iPad to interpret the subsequent gesture as standard.
For example, you can double-tap and hold, then without lifting your nger, drag your nger to
slide a switch.
 Two-nger double-tap: Play or pause in Music, Videos, YouTube, Voice Memos, or Photos.
Take a photo (Camera). Start or pause recording in Camera or Voice Memos. Start or stop

 Three-nger triple-tap: Turn the screen curtain on or o.
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 iPad 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 eect of the rotor depends on what you’re doing. When you read text in an email, you can use
the rotor to switch between hearing text spoken word-by-word, character-by-character, or line-
by-line when you ick up or down. When you browse 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.

Entering and editing text with VoiceOver
Draft
Apple Confidential
When you select a text eld with VoiceOver, you can use the onscreen keyboard or an external
keyboard connected to iPad to enter text. You can use the editing features of iPad to cut, copy, or
paste in the text eld.
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 iPad 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.
 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.
 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.
Choose standard or touch typing With VoiceOver turned on and a key selected on the keyboard, use the
rotor to select Typing Mode, then ick up or down.
Delete a character Select
typing. To delete multiple characters, touch and hold the Delete key, then
tap the screen with another nger once for each character you want to
delete. VoiceOver speaks the character as it’s deleted. If Use Pitch Change is
turned on, VoiceOver speaks deleted characters in a lower pitch.
Select text Set the rotor to Edit, ick up or down to choose Select or Select All, then
double-tap. If you chose Select, the word closest to the insertion point is
selected when you double-tap. If you chose Select All, the entire text is

magnication when you zoom in by double-tapping with three ngers.
Increase magnication With three ngers, tap and drag toward the top of the screen (to
increase magnication) or toward the bottom of the screen (to decrease
magnication). The tap-and-drag gesture is similar to a double-tap, except
you don’t lift your ngers on the second tap—instead, drag your ngers on
the screen. Once you start dragging, you can drag with a single nger.
Move around the screen When zoomed in, drag or ick the screen with three ngers. Once you start
dragging, you can drag with a single nger so that you can see more of

iPad in the enterprise
With support for secure access to corporate networks, directories, and Microsoft Exchange,
iPad is ready to go to work. For detailed information about using iPad in business, go to
www.apple.com/ipad/business.
Using conguration proles
If you’re in an enterprise environment, you may be able to set up accounts and other items on
iPad by installing a conguration prole. Conguration proles let your administrator set up your
iPad to use the information systems at your company, school, or organization. For example, a
conguration prole might set up your iPad to access the Microsoft Exchange servers at work, so
iPad can access your Exchange email, calendars, and contacts.
A conguration prole can congure many dierent settings on iPad. For example, a conguration
prole can set up your Microsoft Exchange account, VPN account, and certicates for secure
access to your company’s network and information. A conguration prole can also turn on
Passcode Lock, which requires you to create and enter a passcode in order to use iPad.
Your administrator may distribute conguration proles by email, by putting them on a secure
webpage, or by installing them directly on iPad for you. Your administrator may have you install a
prole that ties your iPad to a mobile device management server, which allows your administrator
to congure your settings remotely.
Install conguration proles: On iPad, open the email message or download the conguration
proles from the website your administrator provides. When you open the conguration prole,
installation begins.
Important: You may be asked whether a conguration prole is trusted. If in doubt, ask your
administrator before installing the conguration prole.
Appendix
You can’t change the settings in a conguration prole. If you want to change settings, you must
