Use VoiceOver with an Apple Wireless Keyboard
You can control VoiceOver using an Apple Wireless Keyboard paired with iPhone. See Use an
Apple Wireless Keyboard on page 27.
Use VoiceOver keyboard commands to navigate the screen, select items, read screen contents,
adjust the rotor, and perform other VoiceOver actions. Most commands use the Control-Option
key combination, abbreviated in the table that follow as “VO.”
You can use VoiceOver Help to learn the keyboard layout and the actions associated with various
key combinations. VoiceOver Help speaks keys and keyboard commands as you type them,
without performing the associated action.
