VoiceOver
VoiceOver
VoiceOver describes aloud what appears onscreen, so that you can use iPhone without
seeing its screen.
VoiceOver tells you about each item you select. The VoiceOver cursor (a black outline)
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, such as buttons and links, use the gestures described in
.
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). It lets you know when the display
changes to landscape or portrait orientation, when the screen becomes dimmed or locked,
and is active on the Lock screen when you wake iPhone.
Note: VoiceOver is available in many languages. Go to Settings > General > Language &
Region to choose a language.
