VoiceOver Gestures
When VoiceOver is turned on, it changes the gestures you use to control iPad, so that
you can hear descriptions without activating buttons. These VoiceOver gestures let you
move around the screen and control the individual elements that you select. Some
VoiceOver gestures use two, three, or four ngers to tap or ick. For best results when
using more than one nger, relax and let your ngers touch the screen with some
space between them.
There are many ways to enter VoiceOver gestures. For example, you can two-nger tap
by using either two ngers on one hand, or one nger on each hand. You can also use
your thumbs. Try dierent techniques to discover what works best for you.
If your gestures don’t work, try quicker movements, especially for double-tapping and
icking gestures. To ick, try quickly brushing the screen with your nger or ngers.
Practice gestures: In Settings, choose General > Accessibility > VoiceOver > Practice
Gestures, then tap the Practice VoiceOver Gestures button. Practice the gestures
described in “VoiceOver Settings,” below. When you nish practicing, tap Done.
Make single-nger icking gestures quickly, to distinguish them from dragging gestures.
