Accessibility Features
In addition to the many features that make iPhone easy to use for everyone, 
accessibility features (available only on iPhone 3GS) are designed to make it easier 
for users with visual, auditory, or other physical disabilities to use iPhone. These 
accessibility features include:VoiceOver
• 
Zoom• 
White on Black• 
Mono Audio• 
Speak Auto-text• 
With the exception of VoiceOver, these accessibility features work with all iPhone 
applications, including third-party applications you download from the App Store. 
VoiceOver works with all applications that come preinstalled on iPhone. In addition, 
third-party developers can use the iPhone Accessibility API to make their applications 
accessible for VoiceOver users.
For more information about the accessibility features of iPhone, go to 
www.apple.com/accessibilit y.
Each accessibility feature can be turned on or off in the Accessibility settings on 
iPhone. You can also turn accessibility features on or off in iTunes when iPhone is 
connected to your computer. 
Turn accessibility features on or off in iTunes:
 1  Connect iPhone to your computer.
 2 In iTunes, select iPhone in the sidebar.
 3 In the Summary pane, click Configure Universal Access in the Options section.

VoiceOver
VoiceOver describes aloud what appears onscreen, so that you can use iPhone 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 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.
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 191 .
Note:   You cannot use VoiceOver and Zoom at the same time.
18 3Chapter 25    Accessibility 
						

							Turn spoken hints on or off:  In Settings, choose General > Accessibility > VoiceOver, 
and tap the Speak Hints On/Off switch. Spoken hints are turned on by default.
Set the VoiceOver speaking rate:   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.
Choose typing feedback:   In Settings, choose General > Accessibility > VoiceOver > 
Typing Feedback, then choose Characters, Words, Characters and Words, or Nothing.
Change the language spoken by VoiceOver:   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.
Practice gestures:   In Settings, choose General > Accessibility > VoiceOver > Practice 
Gestures, then tap Practice VoiceOver Gestures. Practice the gestures described in 
“ VoiceOver Gestures ,” below. When you’re finished practicing, tap Done.
VoiceOver Gestures
When VoiceOver is turned on, the standard touchscreen gestures have different effects. 
These and some additional gestures allow you to move around the screen and to 
control the individual elements when they’re selected. VoiceOver gestures include 
using two and three fingers to tap or flick. For best results when using two- and three-
finger gestures, relax and let your fingers touch the screen with some space between 
your fingers.
You can use standard gestures when VoiceOver is turned on, by double-tapping and 
holding your finger on the screen. A series of tones indicates that normal gestures 
are in force. They remain in effect until you lift your finger. Then VoiceOver gestures 
resume.
You can use many different techniques to enter VoiceOver gestures. For example, you 
can enter a two-finger tap using two fingers from one hand, or one finger from each 
hand. You can also use your thumbs. Try different techniques to discover which works 
best for you.
If your gestures don’t work, try quicker movements, especially for double-tap and 
flicking gestures. To flick, try quickly brushing the screen with your finger or fingers. 
You can practice VoiceOver gestures in Settings: choose General > Accessibility > 
VoiceOver > Practice Gestures and tap the Practice VoiceOver Gestures button.
Here’s a summary of key VoiceOver gestures:
18 4Chapter 25    Accessibility 
						

							Navigate and Read
• Tap:  Speak item.
• Flick right or left:  Select the next or previous item.
• Flick up or down:  Depends on the Rotor Control setting. See “Rotor Control” on 
page 18 5 .
• Two-finger tap:  Stop speaking the current item.
• Two-finger flick up:  Read all from top of screen.
• Two-finger flick down:  Read all from current position.
• Three-finger flick up or down:  Scroll one page at a time.
• Three-finger flick right or left:  Go to the next or previous page (such as the Home 
screen, Stocks, or Safari).
• Three-finger tap:  Speak the scroll status (which page or rows are visible).
Select and Activate
• Double-tap:  Activate selected item.
• Touch an item with one finger, tap the screen with another finger (“split-tapping”):  
Activate item.
• Double-tap and hold (1 second) + standard gesture:  Use a standard gesture.
The double-tap and hold gesture tells iPhone to interpret the subsequent gesture as 
standard. For example, you can double-tap and hold, 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 iPod, YouTube, Voice 
Memos, or Photos. Take a picture (Camera). Start or pause recording in Camera or 
Voice Memos. Start or stop the stopwatch.
• Three-finger double tap:  Mute or unmute VoiceOver.
• Three-finger triple tap:  Turn the display on or off.
Do single-finger flicking gestures quickly, to distinguish them from dragging gestures.
Rotor Control
The rotor control is an invisible dial that you can use to change the results of up and 
down flick gestures when VoiceOver is turned on.
Operate the rotor:   Rotate two fingers on the iPhone screen to “turn” the dial to 
choose between options.
18 5Chapter 25    Accessibility 
						

							The effect of the rotor depends on what you’re doing. For example, if you’re reading 
text in an email you received, you can use the rotor to switch between hearing text 
spoken word-by-word or character-by-character when you flick up or down. If you’re 
browsing a webpage, use the rotor to choose whether you hear text word-by-word 
or character-by-character, hear just the headers, hear just the links (all of them, visited 
links, or links not yet visited), hear form elements, or hear descriptions of images. In 
other words, you can use the rotor setting to hear all the text, or to jump from one 
element to another of a certain type, such as headers or links.
Rotor options depend on the context of what you’re doing.

							Using VoiceOver
Select items on the screen:  Drag your finger over the screen. VoiceOver identifies 
each element as you touch it. You can also move systematically from one element to 
the next by flicking left or right with a single finger. Elements are selected from left-
to-right, top-to-bottom. Flick right to go to the next element, or flick left to go to the 
previous element.
“Tap” a selected item when VoiceOver is turned on:   Double-tap anywhere on the 
screen. 
Speak the text of an element, character by character or word by word:   With the 
element selected, flick up or down with one finger. Flick down to read the next 
character, or flick up to read the previous character. Twist the rotor control to read 
word by word.
Adjust a slider:   With a single finger, flick up to increase the setting or down to 
decrease the setting. VoiceOver announces the setting as you adjust it.
Scroll a list or area of the screen:   Flick up or down with three fingers. Flick down 
to page down through the list, or flick up to page up through the list. When paging 
through a list, VoiceOver speaks the range of items displayed (for example, “showing 
rows 5 through 10”).
You can also scroll continuously through a list, instead of paging through it. Double-
tap and hold. When you hear a series of tones, you can move your finger up or down 
to scroll the list. Continuous scrolling stops when you lift your finger.
Use a list index:   Some lists have an alphabetical index along the right side. The index 
cannot be selected by flicking between elements; you must touch the index directly 
to select it. With the index selected, flick up or down to move along the index. You can 
also double-tap, then slide your finger up or down.
Unlock iPhone:   Select the Unlock switch, then double-tap the screen.
Rearrange the Home screen:   On the Home screen select the icon you want to move. 
Double-tap and hold, then drag the icon. VoiceOver speaks the row and column 
position as your drag the icon. Release the icon when it’s in the location you want. You 
can drag additional icons. Drag an item to the left or right edge of the screen to move 
it to another page of the Home screen. When you’re finished rearranging the icons, 
press the Home 
 button.

This can include the time, battery life, Wi-Fi signal strength, and more.
Entering and Editing Text
When you select a text field with VoiceOver, you can use the onscreen keyboard to 
enter text. You can use the editing features of iPhone to cut, copy, or paste in the   
text field.
Note:   Safari doesn’t support copying webpage content. The editing features work only 
in editable text fields.
Enter text:
 1  Use VoiceOver to select an editable text field, then double tap to display the insertion 
point and bring up the onscreen keyboard. If the field already contains text, the 
insertion point is placed at the beginning or at the end of the text. Double-tap again 
to place the insertion point at the opposite end. VoiceOver tells you the position of the 
insertion point.
The insertion point and onscreen keyboard may appear automatically when you select 
a text field. VoiceOver announces when you’re in editing mode.
 2 To type, select a key on the keyboard by flicking left or right, then double-tap to 
enter the character. Or drag you finger around the keyboard to select a key, and, 
while holding the key with one finger, tap the screen with another finger to enter the 
character. VoiceOver speaks the key when it’s selected, and again when it’s entered.
To enter an accented character, double-tap and hold until you hear a sound that 
indicates the alternate characters have appeared, then drag left or right to select and 
hear the choices. Release your finger to enter the current selection.
18 8Chapter 25    Accessibility 
						

							Move the insertion point:  Flick up or down to move the insertion point forward or 
backward in the text. VoiceOver makes a sound when the insertion point moves, and 
speaks the character that the insertion point moved across. Use the rotor to choose 
whether you want to move the insertion point by character or by word.
Select text:   Use the rotor to choose edit. Flick up or down to choose between the 
Select and Select All functions, then double tap. If you chose Select, the word closest 
to the insertion point is selected when you double-tap. If you chose Select All, the 
entire text is selected.

information page.
Editing Videos and Voice Memos
You can use VoiceOver gestures to trim Camera videos and Voice Memo recordings.
Trim a voice memo:   On the Voice Memos screen, select the button to the right of the 
memo you want to trim, then double-tap. Then select Trim Memo and double-tap. 
Select the beginning or end of the trim tool. Flick up to drag to the right, or flick down

trim from the recording. To execute the trim, select Trim Voice Memo and double-tap.
Trim a video:   While viewing a video, double-tap the screen to display the video 
controls. Select the beginning or end of the trim tool. Then flick up to drag to the right, 
or flick down to drag to the left. VoiceOver announces the amount of time the current 
position will trim from the recording. To execute the trim, select Trim and double-tap.
Zoom
Many iPhone applications let you zoom in and out specific elements. For example, 
you can double-tap or use the pinch gesture to expand webpage columns in Safari. 
Zoom is a special accessibility feature that lets you magnify the entire screen of any 
application you’re using to help you see what’s on the display.
18 9Chapter 25    Accessibility 
						

							Turn Zoom on or off:  In Settings, choose General > Accessibility > Zoom and tap the 
Zoom On/Off switch.
Note:   You cannot use VoiceOver and Zoom at the same time.
Zoom in or out:   Double-tap the screen with three fingers. By default, the screen is 
magnified by 200 percent. If you manually change the magnification (by using the tap-
and-drag gesture, described below), iPhone automatically returns to that magnification 
when you zoom in by double-tapping with three fingers.
Increase magnification:   With three fingers, tap and drag toward the top of the 
screen (to increase magnification) or toward the bottom of the screen (to decrease 
magnification). The tap-and-drag gesture is similar to a double-tap, except you don’t 
lift your fingers on the second tap—instead, drag your fingers on the screen. Once you 
start dragging, you can drag with a single finger.
Move around the screen:   When zoomed in, drag or flick the screen with three fingers. 
Once you start dragging, you can drag with a single finger so that you can see more 
of the screen. Hold a single finger near the edge of the display to pan to that side of 
the screen image. Move your finger closer to the edge to pan more quickly. When you 
open a new screen, Zoom always goes to the top-middle of the screen.
White on Black
Use White on Black to invert the colors on the iPhone display, which may make it 
easier to read the screen. The screen looks like a photographic negative when White 
on Black is turned on.
Invert the screen’s colors:   In Settings, choose General > Accessibility and tap the 
“White on Black” switch.
Mono Audio
Mono Audio combines the sound of the left and right channels into a mono signal 
played on both sides. This enables users with hearing impairment in one ear to hear 
the entire sound signal with the other ear.
Turn Mono Audio on or off:   In Settings, choose General > Accessibility and tap the 
Mono Audio switch.
Speak Auto-text
Speak Auto-text speaks the text corrections and suggestions iPhone makes when 
you’re typing.
Turn Speak Auto-text on or off:   In Settings, choose General > Accessibility and tap 
the Speak Auto-text switch.
Speak Auto-text also works with VoiceOver or Zoom.
