VoiceOver cursor (a rectangle) encloses the item and VoiceOver speaks its name
or describes it.
Touch the screen or drag your finger over it to hear the 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 Learn VoiceOver gestures.
When you go to a new screen, VoiceOver plays a sound, then selects and
speaks the first item on the screen (typically in the upper-left corner). VoiceOver
also lets you know when the display changes to landscape or portrait
orientation, and when the screen becomes dimmed or locked.
Note: VoiceOver speaks in the language specified in Settings > General >
Language & Region. VoiceOver is available in many languages, but not all.

left or right.
