4 Select the accessibility features that you want to use and click OK. VoiceOver VoiceOver describes aloud what appears onscreen, so that you can use iPod touch without seeing it. VoiceOver speaks in the language specified in International settings, which may be influenced by the Region Locale setting. Note: VoiceOver isn't available in all languages. VoiceOver tells you about each element on the screen as it's selected. When an element is selected, it's enclosed by a black rectangle (for the benefit of those who can see the screen) and VoiceOver speaks the name or describes the item. The enclosing rectangle is referred to as the VoiceOver cursor. If text is selected, VoiceOver reads the text. If a control (such as a button or switch) is selected and Speak Hints is turned on, VoiceOver may tell you the action of the item or provide instructions for you-for example, "double-tap to open." When you go to a new screen, VoiceOver plays a sound and automatically selects and speaks the first 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, and when the screen is locked or unlocked. Setting Up VoiceOver Important: VoiceOver changes the gestures used to control iPod touch. Once VoiceOver is turned on, you have to use VoiceOver gestures to operate iPod touch- even to turn VoiceOver off again to resume standard operation. Turn VoiceOver on or off: In Settings, choose General > Accessibility > VoiceOver and tap the VoiceOver On/Off switch. You can also set Triple-click Home to turn VoiceOver on or off. See "Triple-click Home" on page 148. Note: You cannot use VoiceOver and Zoom at the same time. 140 Chapter 21 Accessibility
