Use iPhone with VoiceOver<br />

Unlock iPhone. Press either the Home button or the Sleep/Wake button, swipe to select the<br />

Unlock button, then double-tap the screen.<br />

Enter your passcode silently. To avoid having your passcode spoken as you enter it, use<br />

handwriting; see Write with your finger on page 157.<br />

Open an app, toggle a switch, or tap an item. Select the item, then double-tap the screen.<br />

Double-tap the selected item. Triple-tap the screen.<br />

Adjust a slider. Select the slider, then swipe up or down with one finger.<br />

Use a standard gesture. Double-tap and hold your finger on the screen until you hear three<br />

rising tones, then make the gesture. When you lift your finger, VoiceOver gestures resume. For<br />

example, to drag a volume slider with your finger instead of swiping up and down, select the<br />

slider, double-tap and hold, wait for the three tones, then slide left or right.<br />

Scroll a list or area of the screen. Swipe up or down with three fingers.<br />

••<br />

Scroll continuously through a list: Double-tap and hold until you hear three rising tones, then<br />

drag up or down.<br />

Use the list index: Some lists have an alphabetical table index along the right side. Select the<br />

index, then swipe up or down to move through the index. You can also double-tap, hold, then<br />

slide your finger up or down.<br />

••<br />

Reorder a list: You can change the order of items in some lists, such as the Rotor items in<br />

Accessibility settings. Select to the right of an item, double-tap and hold until you hear<br />

three rising tones, then drag up or down.<br />

Open Notification Center. Select any item in the status bar, then swipe down with three fingers.<br />

To dismiss Notification Center, do a two-finger scrub (move two fingers back and forth three<br />

times quickly, making a “z”).<br />
