IMPORTANT: VoiceOver changes the gestures used to control iPhone. Once VoiceOver is turned on, you have to use VoiceOver gestures to operate iPhone—even to turn VoiceOver off again to resume standard operation.
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.
NOTE: You cannot use VoiceOver and Zoom at the same time.
In Settings, choose General > Accessibility > VoiceOver, and tap the Speak Hints On/Off switch. Spoken hints are turned on by default.
In Settings, choose General > Accessibility > VoiceOver, and adjust the Speaking Rate slider.
You can choose what kind of feedback you get when you type. You can set VoiceOver to speak characters, words, both, or nothing. If you choose to hear both characters and words, VoiceOver speaks each character as you type it, then speaks the whole word when you finish it by entering a space or punctuation.
In Settings, choose General > Accessibility > VoiceOver > Typing Feedback, then choose Characters, Words, Characters and Words, or Nothing.
In Settings, choose General > International > Language, then select a language and tap OK. Some languages may be influenced by the Region Local setting. In Settings, choose General > International > Region Format and select the format.
NOTE: VoiceOver isn’t available in all languages.
In Settings, choose General > Accessibility > VoiceOver > Practice Gestures, then tap Practice VoiceOver Gestures. Practice the gestures described in VoiceOver Gestures. When you’re finished practicing, tap Done.
