Activate •• Double-tap: Activate the selected item. •• Triple-tap: Double-tap an item. •• Split-tap: As an alternative to selecting an item and double-tapping to activate it, touch an item with one finger, and then tap the screen with another. •• Double-tap and hold (1 second) + standard gesture: Use a standard gesture. The double-tap and hold gesture tells iPhone to interpret the next gesture as standard. For example, you can double-tap and hold, and then without lifting your finger, drag your finger to slide a switch. •• Two-finger double-tap: Answer or end a call. Play or pause in Music, Videos, Voice Memos, or Photos. Take a photo in Camera. Start or pause recording in Camera or Voice Memos. Start or stop the stopwatch. •• Two-finger double-tap and hold: Change an item's label to make it easier to find. •• Two-finger triple-tap: Open the Item Chooser. •• Three-finger triple-tap: Mute or unmute VoiceOver. •• Three-finger quadruple-tap: Turn the screen curtain on or off. Using the VoiceOver rotor control Use the rotor to choose what happens when you swipe up or down with VoiceOver turned on. Operate the rotor: Rotate two fingers on the iPhone 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 effect of the rotor setting depends on what you're doing. For example, if you're reading an email, you can use the rotor to switch between hearing text spoken word-by-word or characterby-character when you swipe up or down. If you're browsing a webpage, you can set the rotor to speak all the text (either word-by-word or character-by-character), or to jump from one item to another of a certain type, such as headers or links. Entering and editing text with VoiceOver When you enter an editable text field, you can use the onscreen keyboard or an external keyboard connected to iPhone to enter text. Enter text: Select an editable text field, double-tap to display the insertion point and the onscreen keyboard, then type characters. •• Standard typing: Select a key on the keyboard by swiping left or right, then double-tap to enter the character. Or move your finger around the keyboard to select a key and, while continuing to touch the key with one finger, tap the screen with another finger. 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 finger to enter the character. If you touch the wrong key, move your finger 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 finger. Touch typing works only for the keys that enter text-use standard typing for other keys such as Shift, Delete, and Return. Chapter 32 Accessibility 119
