| +# VoiceOver
|
| +
|
| +VoiceOver is an Accessibility feature available on Apple platforms. It provides
|
| +an interface between your app and your blind or low-vision users. In short, it's
|
| +a screen reader.
|
| +
|
| +## Overview
|
| +
|
| +[Activating VoiceOver](#Activate-VoiceOver) fundamentally changes the touch
|
| +interface of an iOS device, so when you activate it, you need to know these
|
| +basic commands to navigate:
|
| +
|
| +- VoiceOver focuses an item on the screen and speaks it to the user.
|
| +- To navigate between items, you can either flick left/right to go to the
|
| + previous/next item, or you can drag your finger around the screen.
|
| +- Double tapping anywhere on the screen activates the item (no need to double
|
| + tap exactly on the item on the screen).
|
| +- Items have a label (describing the item) and can have among others:
|
| + - traits (describing the item: a header, a button, selection state, etc.);
|
| + - a hint (describing how to interact with the item).
|
| +
|
| +The following video is a great summary. The content is succinct, high quality
|
| +and up-to-date, even though the video quality is low and the demo is on an
|
| +iPhone 3GS.

|
| +## Activate VoiceOver
|
| +
|
| +Go to `Settings > General > Accessibility > VoiceOver` and toggle the top
|
| +switch.
|
| +
|
| +Alternatively, if you are activating/deactivating VoiceOver often, I'd advise
|
| +to set it as the Accessibility Shortcut. When enabled, a triple tap on the Home
|
| +button will toggle VoiceOver ON and OFF from anywhere.
|
| +```
|
| +Settings > General > Accessibility > Accessibility Shortcut
|
| +```
