4 an interface between your app and your blind or low-vision users. In short, it's

5 a screen reader.

9 [Activating VoiceOver](#Activate-VoiceOver) fundamentally changes the touch

10 interface of an iOS device, so when you activate it, you need to know these

11 basic commands to navigate:

12

13 - VoiceOver focuses an item on the screen and speaks it to the user.

14 - To navigate between items, you can either flick left/right to go to the

15 previous/next item, or you can drag your finger around the screen.

16 - Double tapping anywhere on the screen activates the item (no need to double

17 tap exactly on the item on the screen).

18 - Items have a label (describing the item) and can have among others:

19 - traits (describing the item: a header, a button, selection state, etc.);

20 - a hint (describing how to interact with the item).

22 The following video is a great summary. The content is succinct, high quality

23 and up-to-date, even though the video quality is low and the demo is on an

24 iPhone 3GS.

28 ## Activate VoiceOver

29

30 Go to `Settings > General > Accessibility > VoiceOver` and toggle the top

31 switch.

32

33 Alternatively, if you are activating/deactivating VoiceOver often, I'd advise

34 to set it as the Accessibility Shortcut. When enabled, a triple tap on the Home

35 button will toggle VoiceOver ON and OFF from anywhere.

36 ```

37 Settings > General > Accessibility > Accessibility Shortcut
