VoiceOver Gestures
When VoiceOver is turned on, the standard touchscreen gestures have dierent eects.
These and some additional gestures let you move around the screen and control
individual elements when they’re selected. VoiceOver gestures include two- and
three-ngers gestures to tap or ick. For best results when using two- and three-nger
gestures, relax and let your ngers touch the screen with some space between them.
You can use standard gestures when VoiceOver is turned on, by double-tapping
and holding your nger on the screen. A series of tones indicates that normal
gestures are in force. They remain in eect until you lift your nger. Then VoiceOver
gestures resume.
You can use dierent techniques to enter VoiceOver gestures. For example, you can
enter a two-nger tap using two ngers from one hand, or one nger from each hand.
You can also use your thumbs. Many nd the “split-tap” gesture especially eective:
instead of selecting an item and double-tapping, you can touch and hold an item with
one nger, then tap the screen with another nger. Try dierent techniques to discover
which 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.
When VoiceOver is turned on, the VoiceOver Practice button appears, which gives you
a chance to practice VoiceOver gestures before proceeding.
