Controlling VoiceOver Using an Apple Wireless Keyboard

You can control VoiceOver using an Apple Wireless Keyboard paired with iPad. See
“Using Bluetooth Devices” on page 43.

The VoiceOver keyboard commands let you navigate the screen, select items, read
screen contents, adjust the rotor, and perform other VoiceOver actions. All the keyboard
commands (except one) include Control-Option, abbreviated in the table below as “VO.”

VoiceOver Help speaks keys or keyboard commands as you type them. You can
use VoiceOver Help to learn the keyboard layout and the actions associated with
key combinations.
