come preinstalled on iPod touch, and with many third-party apps.
For more information about iPod touch accessibility features, go to www.apple.com/accessibility.
Each accessibility feature can be turned on or off in Accessibility settings on iPod touch. You can 
also turn some features on or off in iTunes when iPod touch is connected to your computer.

Turn on accessibility features using iTunes:  Connect iPod touch to your computer and select 
iPod touch in the iTunes device list. Click Summary, then click Configure Universal Access at the 
bottom of the Summary screen.

VoiceOver
VoiceOver describes aloud what appears onscreen, so you can use iPod touch without seeing it.
VoiceOver tells you about each element on the screen as you select it. When you select an 
element, a black rectangle (the VoiceOver cursor) encloses it and VoiceOver speaks the name or 
describes the item.
Touch the screen or drag your fingers to hear different 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 you—for example, “double-tap to open.” To interact with items on the 
screen, such as buttons and links, use the gestures described in “Learning VoiceOver gestures
” on 
page 121 .
11 8 
						

							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 orientation, and when the screen is 
locked or unlocked.
Note:  VoiceOver speaks in the language specified in International settings, which may be 
influenced by the Region Format setting. VoiceOver is available in many languages, but not all.
