If text is selected, VoiceOver reads the text. If a control (such as a button or switch) is selected,
VoiceOver may describe what the item does, or may provide instructions—for example, “double-
tap to open.”

Set up VoiceOver on iPod nano:

1

Connect EarPods or headphones to iPod nano.

2

On the Home screen, tap Settings, then tap General.

3

Tap Accessibility.

4

Tap VoiceOver, then set any of these options:

Speak Hints: Explains how to interact with the item in the VoiceOver cursor. You may want to
turn this on to help you learn how to use iPod nano, and turn it off later.

Speaking Rate: Increases or decreases the rate of speech for VoiceOver. This does not affect the
speech rate for audiobooks or podcasts.

Language: Sets the language for VoiceOver. It should match the language set for iPod nano.

5

Tap to turn VoiceOver on.

If this is the first time you turned on VoiceOver on iPod nano, a dialog appears.

6

Tap OK in the dialog, then double-tap OK to confirm.

If you can’t see the screen, move your finger until you hear “OK button,” then double-tap with
one finger.
If you do nothing for 15 seconds, the dialog disappears and VoiceOver turns off.

When VoiceOver is on, you use a different set of gestures to control iPod nano. If you change
your mind and want to turn VoiceOver off, double-tap with two fingers to move the switch to Off.
If you navigate away from the Settings screen, you need to use VoiceOver gestures to return to
the setting and turn it off.

Turn off VoiceOver on iPod nano using VoiceOver gestures:

1

Click the Home button, then slide one finger around the screen until you hear “Settings.”

If you don’t hear “Settings,” swipe with two fingers to move to another screen and try again.

2

Double-tap to open Settings.

3

Slide your finger up or down the screen until you see or hear General, then double-tap.

4

Slide your finger up or down the screen until you see or hear “Accessibility,” then double-tap.
