VoiceOver Gestures
When VoiceOver is turned on, it changes the gestures you use to control iPad, so that
you can hear descriptions without activating buttons. These VoiceOver gestures let you
move around the screen and control the individual elements that you select. Some
VoiceOver gestures use two, three, or four fingers to tap or flick. For best results when
using more than one finger, relax and let your fingers touch the screen with some
space between them.
There are many ways to enter VoiceOver gestures. For example, you can two-finger tap
by using either two fingers on one hand, or one finger on each hand. You can also use
your thumbs. Try different techniques to discover what works best for you.
If your gestures don’t work, try quicker movements, especially for double-tapping and
flicking gestures. To flick, try quickly brushing the screen with your finger or fingers.
Practice gestures: In Settings, choose General > Accessibility > VoiceOver > Practice
Gestures, then tap the Practice VoiceOver Gestures button. Practice the gestures
described in “VoiceOver Settings,” below. When you finish practicing, tap Done.
Make single-finger flicking gestures quickly, to distinguish them from dragging
gestures.
