VoiceOver
VoiceOver describes aloud what appears onscreen, so that you can use iPhone without
seeing it. VoiceOver speaks in the language specied in International settings, which
may be inuenced by the Region Locale setting.
Note: VoiceOver is available in many languages, but not all.
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 benet 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 then selects and speaks
the rst element of the screen (typically, the item in the upper-left corner). VoiceOver
also lets you know when the screen changes to landscape or portrait, and when it is
locked or unlocked.
