VoiceOver
VoiceOver describes aloud what appears onscreen, so you can use iPhone without seeing it.
VoiceOver tells you about each item on the screen as you select it. The VoiceOver cursor (a
rectangle) encloses the item and VoiceOver speaks its name or describes it.
Touch the screen or drag your nger over it to hear the items on the screen. When you select
text, VoiceOver reads the text. If you turn on Speak Hints, VoiceOver may tell you the name of the
item and provide instructions—for example, “double-tap to open.” To interact with items, such as
buttons and links, use the gestures described in Learn VoiceOver gestures on page 161.
When you go to a new screen, VoiceOver plays a sound, then selects and speaks the rst item
on the screen (typically in the upper-left corner). VoiceOver also lets you know when the display
changes to landscape or portrait orientation, and when the screen becomes dimmed or locked.
Note: VoiceOver speaks in the language specied in Settings > General > Language & Region.
VoiceOver is available in many languages, but not all.

Learn VoiceOver gestures
When VoiceOver is on, standard touchscreen gestures have dierent eects, and additional
gestures let you move around the screen and control individual items. VoiceOver gestures
include two-, three-, and four-nger taps and swipes. For best results using multi-nger gestures,
relax and let your ngers touch the screen with some space between them.
You can use dierent techniques to perform VoiceOver gestures. For example, you can perform
a two-nger tap using two ngers on one hand, or one nger on each hand. You can even use
your thumbs. Some people use a split-tap gesture: instead of selecting an item and double-
tapping, touch and hold an item with one nger, then tap the screen with another nger. If your
iPhone supports it, you can use Force Touch to perform gestures.
Try dierent techniques to discover which works best for you. If a gesture doesn’t work, try a
quicker movement, especially for a double-tap or swipe gesture. To swipe, try brushing the
screen quickly with your nger or ngers.
In VoiceOver settings, you can enter a special area where you can practice VoiceOver gestures
without aecting iPhone or its settings.
Practice VoiceOver gestures. Go to Settings > General > Accessibility > VoiceOver, then tap
VoiceOver Practice. When you nish practicing, tap Done. If you don’t see the VoiceOver Practice
button, make sure VoiceOver is turned on.
Here are some key VoiceOver gestures:
Navigate and read
•Tap: Select and speak the item.
•Swipe right or left: Select the next or previous item.

•Swipe up or down: Depends on the rotor setting. See Use the VoiceOver rotor on page 162.
•Two-nger swipe up: Read all from the top of the screen.
•Two-nger swipe down: Read all from the current position.
•Two-nger tap: Stop or resume speaking.
•Two-nger scrub: Move two ngers back and forth three times quickly (making a “z”) to dismiss
an alert or go back to the previous screen.
•Three-nger swipe up or down: Scroll one page at a time.
•Three-nger swipe right or left: Go to the next or previous page (on the Home screen, for
example).
•Three-nger tap: Speak additional information, such as position within a list or whether text
is selected.
•Four-nger tap at top of screen: Select the rst item on the page.
•Four-nger tap at bottom of screen: Select the last item on the page.
Activate
•Double-tap: Activate the selected item.
•Triple-tap: Double-tap an item.
•Split-tap: As an alternative to selecting an item and double-tapping to activate it, touch an
item with one nger, then tap the screen with another.
•Double-tap and hold (1 second) + standard gesture: Use a standard gesture. The double-tap
and hold gesture tells iPhone to interpret the next gesture as standard. For example, you can
double-tap and hold, and then without lifting your nger, drag your nger to slide a switch.
•Two-nger double-tap: Answer or end a call. Play or pause in Music, Videos, Voice Memos, or
Photos. Take a photo in Camera. Start or pause recording in Camera or Voice Memos. Start or
stop the stopwatch.

The available rotor options and their eects depend on what you’re doing. For example, if you’re
reading an email, you can use the rotor to switch between hearing text spoken word-by-word or
character-by-character when you swipe up or down. If you’re browsing a webpage, you can set
the rotor to speak all the text (either word-by-word or character-by-character), or to jump from
one item to another of a certain type, such as headers or links.
When you use an Apple Wireless Keyboard to control VoiceOver, the rotor lets you adjust settings
such as volume, speech rate, use of pitch or phonetics, typing echo, and reading of punctuation.
See Use VoiceOver with an Apple Wireless Keyboard on page 165.
Use the onscreen keyboard
When you activate an editable text eld, the onscreen keyboard appears (unless you have an
Apple Wireless Keyboard attached).
Activate a text eld. Select the text eld, then double-tap. The insertion point and the onscreen
keyboard appear.
Enter text. Type characters using the onscreen keyboard:
•Standard typing: Select a key on the keyboard by swiping left or right, then double-tap to enter
the character. Or move your nger around the keyboard to select a key and, while continuing
to touch the key with one nger, tap the screen with another nger. VoiceOver speaks the key
when it’s selected, and again when the character is entered.
•Touch typing: Touch a key on the keyboard to select it, then lift your nger to enter the
character. If you touch the wrong key, slide your nger to the key you want. VoiceOver
speaks the character for each key as you touch it, but doesn’t enter a character until you lift
your nger.
•Direct Touch typing: VoiceOver is disabled for the keyboard only, so you can type just as you do
when VoiceOver is o.

VoiceOver makes a sound when the insertion point moves, and speaks the character, word, or
line that the insertion point moves across. When moving forward by words, the insertion point
is placed at the end of each word, before the space or punctuation that follows. When moving
backward, the insertion point is placed at the end of the preceding word, before the space or
punctuation that follows it.
Move the insertion point past the punctuation at the end of a word or sentence. Use the rotor
to switch back to character mode.
When moving the insertion point by line, VoiceOver speaks each line as you move across it.
When moving forward, the insertion point is placed at the beginning of the next line (except
when you reach the last line of a paragraph, when the insertion point is moved to the end of the
line just spoken). When moving backward, the insertion point is placed at the beginning of the
line that’s spoken.

Pair with iPhone. If your hearing aids aren’t listed in Settings > General > Accessibility > Hearing
Aids, you need to pair them with iPhone. To start, open the battery door on each hearing aid.
Next, on iPhone, go to Settings > Bluetooth, then make sure Bluetooth is turned on. Then go
to Settings > General > Accessibility > Hearing Aids. Close the battery doors on your hearing
aids and wait until their name appears in the list of devices (this could take a minute). When the
name appears, tap it and respond to the pairing request.
When pairing is nished, you hear a series of beeps and a tone, and a checkmark appears next to
the hearing aids in the Devices list. Pairing can take as long as 60 seconds—don’t try to stream
audio or otherwise use the hearing aids until pairing is nished.
You should only need to pair once (and your audiologist might do it for you). After that, each
time you turn your hearing aids back on, they reconnect to iPhone.
Adjust hearing aid settings and view status. Go to Settings > General > Accessibility > Hearing
Aids, or choose Hearing Aids from the Accessibility Shortcut. See Accessibility Shortcut on
page 158. Hearing aid settings appear only after you pair your hearing aids with iPhone.
For shortcut access from the Lock screen, go to Settings > General > Accessibility > Hearing Aids,
then turn on Control on Lock Screen. Use the settings to:
•Check hearing aid battery status.
•Adjust ambient microphone volume and equalization.
•Choose which hearing aids (left, right, or both) receive streaming audio.
•Control Live Listen.
•Choose whether call audio and media audio are routed to the hearing aid.
•Choose to play ringtones through the hearing aid. (Not all hearing aids support this feature.)
Stream audio to your hearing aids. Stream audio from Phone, Siri, Music, Videos, and more by
choosing your hearing aids from the AirPlay menu .
Use iPhone as a remote microphone. You can use Live Listen to stream sound from the
microphone in iPhone to your hearing aids. This can help you hear better in some situations by
positioning iPhone nearer the sound source. Triple-click the Home button, choose Hearing Aids,
then tap Start Live Listen.
Use your hearing aids with more than one iOS device. If you pair your hearing aids with more
than one iOS device (both iPhone and iPad, for example), the connection for your hearing aids
automatically switches from one to the other when you do something that generates audio on
the other device, or when you receive a phone call on iPhone. Changes you make to hearing
aid settings on one device are automatically sent to your other iOS devices. To take advantage
of this, all of the devices must be on the same Wi-Fi network and signed in to iCloud using the
same Apple ID.
Hearing Aid Mode
iPhone has a Hearing Aid Mode that, when activated, may reduce interference with some
hearing aid models. Hearing Aid Mode reduces the transmission power of the cellular radio in
the GSM 1900 MHz band and may result in decreased 2G cellular coverage.
Turn on Hearing Aid Mode. Go to Settings > General > Accessibility > Hearing Aids.
Hearing aid compatibility
The FCC has adopted hearing aid compatibility (HAC) rules for digital wireless phones. These
rules require certain phones to be tested and rated under the American National Standard
Institute (ANSI) C63.19-2007 or C63.19-2011 hearing aid compatibility standards.
Apple Confidential
Draft
Appendix A Accessibility 174
The ANSI standard for hearing aid compatibility contains two types of ratings:
•An “M” rating for reduced radio frequency interference to enable acoustic coupling with
hearing aids that are not operating in telecoil mode
•A “T” rating for inductive coupling with hearing aids operating in telecoil mode
These ratings are given on a scale from one to four, where four is the most compatible. A phone
is considered hearing aid compatible under FCC rules if it is rated M3 or M4 for acoustic coupling
and T3 or T4 for inductive coupling.
For iPhone hearing aid compatibility ratings, see www.apple.com/support/hac/.
Hearing aid compatibility ratings don’t guarantee that a particular hearing aid works with a
particular phone. Some hearing aids may work well with phones that don’t meet particular
ratings. To ensure interoperability between a hearing aid and a phone, try using them together
before purchase.
This phone has been tested and rated for use with hearing aids for some of the wireless
technologies it uses. However, there may be some newer wireless technologies used in this
phone that have not been tested yet for use with hearing aids. It is important to try the dierent
features of this phone thoroughly and in dierent locations, using your hearing aid or cochlear
implant, to determine if you hear any interfering noise. Consult your service provider or Apple
for information on hearing aid compatibility. If you have questions about return or exchange
policies, consult your service provider or phone retailer.

Siri
Siri is often the easiest way to start using accessibility features with iPhone. With Siri, you can
open apps, turn many settings on or o (like VoiceOver), or use Siri for what it does best—acting
as your assistant. Siri knows when VoiceOver is on, so will often read more information back to

page 50.
Widescreen keyboards
Many apps, including Mail, Safari, Messages, Notes, and Contacts, let you rotate iPhone when
you’re typing, so you can use a larger keyboard.
Large phone keypad
Make phone calls simply by tapping entries in your contacts and favorites lists. When you need
to dial a number, the large numeric keypad on iPhone makes it easy. See Make a call.
LED Flash for Alerts
If you can’t hear the sounds that announce incoming calls and other alerts, you can have iPhone

Switch Control
Switch Control lets you control iPhone using a single switch or multiple switches. Use any of
several methods to perform actions such as selecting, tapping, pressing, dragging, typing, and
even free-hand drawing. The basic technique is to use a switch to select an item or location on
the screen, and then use the same (or dierent) switch to choose an action to perform on that
item or location. Three basic methods are:
•Item scanning (default), which highlights dierent items on the screen until you select one.
•Point scanning, which lets you use scanning crosshairs to pick a screen location.
•Manual selection, which lets you move from item to item on demand (requires multiple
switches).
Whichever method you use, when you select an individual item (rather than a group), a menu
appears so you can choose how to act on the selected item (tap, press, drag, or pinch, for
example).
If you use multiple switches, you can set up each switch to perform a specic action and
customize your item selection method. For example, instead of automatically scanning screen
items, you can set up switches to move to the next or previous item on demand.
Apple Confidential
Draft
Appendix A Accessibility 177
You can adjust the behavior of Switch Control in a variety of ways, to suit your specic needs
and style.
Add a switch and turn on Switch Control
You can use any of these as a switch:
•An external adaptive switch: Choose from a variety of popular USB or Bluetooth switches.
•The iPhone screen: Tap the screen to trigger the switch. (Or press the screen with iPhones that
support Force Touch.)
•The iPhone FaceTime camera: Move your head to trigger the switch. You can use the camera as
two switches: one when you move your head to the left, and the other when you move your
head to the right.
Add a switch and choose its action. Go to Settings > General > Accessibility > Switch Control >
Switches. If you use only one switch, it is your Select Item switch by default.
If you’re adding an external switch, you need to connect it to iPhone before it will appear in the
list of available switches. Follow the instructions that came with the switch. If it connects using
Bluetooth, you need to pair it with iPhone—turn on the switch, go to Settings > Bluetooth, tap
the switch, then follow the onscreen instructions. For more information, see Bluetooth devices on
page 44.
Turn on Switch Control. Go to Settings > General > Accessibility > Switch Control, or use the
Accessibility Shortcut. See Accessibility Shortcut on page 158.
Turn o Switch Control. Use any scanning method to select, then tap Settings > General >
Accessibility > Switch Control. Or triple-click the Home button.
Basic techniques
Whether you use item scanning or point scanning, the Switch Control basics are the same.
Select an item. While the item is highlighted, trigger the switch you’ve set up as your Select Item
switch. If you are using a single switch, it is your Select Item switch by default.
Perform an action on the selected item. Choose a command from the control menu that
appears when you select the item. The layout of the menu depends on how you congure Tap
Behavior. (To choose an option go to Settings > General > Accessibility > Switch Control > Tap
Behavior.)
•With Default on: The control menu includes only the Tap button and the More button (two
dots at the bottom). If you’re in a scrollable area of the screen, a Scroll button also appears.
To tap the highlighted item, trigger your Select Item button when Tap is highlighted. To see
additional action buttons, choose More at the bottom of the menu. If you have multiple
switches, you can set one up specically for tapping.
•With Auto Tap on: To tap the item, do nothing—the item is automatically tapped when the
Auto Tap interval expires (0.75 seconds if you haven’t changed it). To see the control menu,
trigger your Select Item button before the Auto Tap interval expires. The control menu skips
the Tap button and goes right to the full set of action buttons.
•With Always Tap on: Tap to select the highlighted item rather than display the control menu.
Wait until the end of the scan cycle and you can tap a button to display the control menu.
Note: Always Tap applies only when you choose item scanning. When point scanning, the
Default behavior applies.

Work with recipes. A recipe lets you temporarily assign a special action to a switch. For example,
you can choose a recipe to turn pages in iBooks or control a game. To use a recipe, go to
Settings > General > Accessibility > Switch Control > Recipes, then choose a recipe.
Dismiss the control menu without choosing an action. Tap while the original item is
highlighted and all the icons in the control menu are dimmed. Or choose Escape from the
control menu. The menu goes away after cycling the number of times you specify at Settings >
General > Accessibility > Switch Control > Loops.
Perform screen gestures. Choose Gestures from the control menu.
Scroll the screen. Select an item in a scrollable part of the screen, then:
•With Auto Tap o: Choose the Scroll Down button (next to the Tap button) in the control menu.
Or, for more scrolling options, choose More, then choose Scroll.
•With Auto Tap on: Choose Scroll from the control menu. If many actions are available, you
might have to choose More rst.
Tap the Home button. Choose Home from the control menu.
Perform other hardware actions. Select any item, then choose Device from the menu that
appears. Use the menu to mimic these actions:
•Double-click the Home button for multitasking
•Open Notication Center or Control Center
•Press the Sleep/Wake button to lock iPhone
•Rotate iPhone
•Flip the Ring/Silent switch
•Press the volume buttons
•Hold down the Home button to open Siri

•Shake iPhone
•Press the Home and Sleep/Wake buttons simultaneously to take a screenshot
•Swipe down from the top with two ngers to speak the screen (if you have Speak Screen
turned on)
•On compatible iPhones press to trigger a Force Touch action
Item scanning
Item scanning alternately highlights each item or group of items on the entire screen until
you trigger your Select Item switch. If there are many items, Switch Control highlights them in
groups. When you select a group, highlighting continues with the items in the group. When you
select a unique item, scanning stops and the control menu appears. Item scanning is the default
when you rst turn on Switch Control.
You can choose from three scanning styles—auto scanning, manual scanning, and single switch
step scanning. Auto scanning automatically highlights items, one after the other. With manual
scanning you use one switch to highlight an item and another to activate it. Single switch step
scanning uses a switch to move the highlight from item to item. If you take no action after a
period of time, the highlighted item activates.

Create your own gesture. You can add your own favorite gestures to the control menu (for
example, touch and hold or two-nger rotation). Tap the menu button, tap Custom, then tap an
empty gesture placeholder. Or go to Settings > General > Accessibility > AssistiveTouch > Create
New Gesture.
Example 1: To create the rotation gesture, go to Settings > General > Accessibility >
AssistiveTouch > Create New Gesture. On the gesture recording screen that prompts you to
touch to create a gesture, rotate two ngers on the iPhone screen around a point between them.
(You can do this with a single nger or stylus—just create each arc separately, one after the
other.) If it doesn’t turn out quite right, tap Cancel, then try again. When it looks right, tap Save,
then give the gesture a name—maybe “Rotate 90.” Then, to rotate the view in Maps, for example,
open Maps, tap the AssistiveTouch menu button, and choose Rotate 90 from Custom. When the
blue circles representing the starting nger positions appear, drag them to the point around
which you want to rotate the map, then release. You might want to create several gestures with
dierent degrees of rotation.
Example 2: Let’s create the touch-and-hold gesture that you use to start rearranging icons on
your Home screen. This time, on the gesture recording screen, hold down your nger in one spot
until the recording progress bar reaches halfway, then lift your nger. Be careful not to move
your nger while recording, or the gesture will be recorded as a drag. Tap Save, then name the
gesture. To use the gesture, tap the AssistiveTouch menu button, then choose your gesture from
Custom. When the blue circle representing your touch appears, drag it over a Home screen icon
and release.
If you record a sequence of taps or drags, they’re all played back at the same time. For example,
using one nger or a stylus to record four separate, sequential taps at four locations on the
screen creates a simultaneous four-nger tap.
Exit a menu without performing a gesture. Tap anywhere outside the menu. To return to the
previous menu, tap the arrow in the middle of the menu.
Move the menu button. Drag it anywhere along the edge of the screen.
Adjust your accessory tracking speed. Go to Settings > General > Accessibility >
AssistiveTouch > Touch speed.
Hide the menu button (with an accessory attached). Go to Settings > General > Accessibility >
AssistiveTouch > Always Show Menu.
Touch Accommodations
If you have trouble using the touch screen use Touch Accommodations to change how the
screen responds to touches.
Choose how long you must touch the screen before a touch is recognized. Go to
Settings > General > Accessibility > Touch Accommodations, turn on Hold Duration, then choose
a duration (the default is 0.10 seconds).
Choose the duration in which multiple touches are treated as a single touch. Go to
Settings > General > Accessibility > Touch Accommodations, turn on Ignore Repeat, then adjust
the timing.
Choose the location where iPhone registers a tap. Go to Settings > General > Accessibility >
Touch Accommodations, then turn on Tap Assistance.

With support for secure access to corporate networks, directories, custom apps, and Microsoft
Exchange, iPhone is ready to go to work. For detailed information about using iPhone in
business, go to www.apple.com/iphone/business/.
Mail, Contacts, and Calendar
To use iPhone with your work accounts, you need to know the settings your organization
requires. If you received your iPhone from your organization, the settings and apps you need
might already be installed. If it’s your own iPhone, your system administrator may provide you
with the settings for you to enter, or have you connect to a mobile device management server
that installs the settings and apps you should have.
Organizational settings and accounts are typically in conguration proles. You might be asked to
install a conguration prole that was sent to you in an email, or one that is downloaded from
a webpage. When you open the le, iPhone asks for your permission to install the prole, and
displays information about what it contains.
In most cases, when you install a conguration prole that sets up an account for you, some
iPhone settings can’t be changed. For example, your organization might turn on Auto-Lock and
require you to set a passcode in order to protect the information in the accounts you access.
You can see your proles in Settings > General > Proles. If you delete a prole, all of the settings
and accounts associated with the prole are also removed, including any custom apps your
organization provided or had you download. If you need a passcode to delete a prole, contact
your system administrator.
Network access
A VPN (virtual private network) provides secure access over the Internet to private resources,
such as your organization’s network. You may need to install a VPN app from the App Store that
congures your iPhone to access a particular network. Contact your system administrator for
information about apps and settings you need.
Apps
In addition to the built-in apps and the ones you get from the App Store, your organization
may want you to have certain other apps. They might provide you with a pre-paid redemption
code for the App Store. When you download an app using a redemption code, you own it, even
though your organization purchased it for you.

Your organization can also purchase App Store app licenses that are assigned to you for a period
of time, but that the organization retains. You’ll be invited to participate in your organization’s
program in order to access these apps. After you enroll with your Apple ID, you’re prompted to
install these apps as they’re assigned to you. You can also nd them in your Purchased list in the
App Store. An app you receive this way is removed if the organization assigns it to someone else.
Your organization might also develop custom apps that aren’t in the App Store. You install
them from a webpage or, if your organization uses mobile device management, you receive a
notication asking you to install them over the air. These apps belong to your organization, and
they may be removed or stop working if you delete a conguration prole or dissociate iPhone
from the mobile device management server.
