Here’s a summary of key VoiceOver gestures:
Navigate and Read
Tap: Speak item.
Flick right or left: Select the next or previous item.
Flick up or down: Depends on the Rotor Control setting. See “Rotor Control” on
page 142.
Two-nger tap: Stop speaking the current item.
Two-nger ick up: Read all from top of screen.
Two-nger ick down: Read all from current position.
Three-nger ick up or down: Scroll one page at a time.
Three-nger ick right or left: Go to the next or previous page (such as the Home
screen, Stocks, or Safari).
Three-nger tap: Speak the scroll status (which page or rows are visible).
Select and Activate
Double-tap: Activate selected item.
Touch an item with one nger, tap the screen with another nger (“split-tapping”):
Activate item.
Double-tap and hold (1 second) + standard gesture: Use a standard gesture.
The double-tap and hold gesture tells iPod touch to interpret the subsequent
gesture as standard. For example, you can double-tap and hold, then without lifting
your nger, drag your nger to slide a switch.
Two-nger double tap: Play or pause in iPod, YouTube, Voice Memos, or Photos. Start
or pause recording in Voice Memos. Start or stop the stopwatch.
Three-nger double tap: Mute or unmute VoiceOver.
Three-nger triple tap: Turn the display on or o.
Do single-nger icking gestures quickly, to distinguish them from dragging gestures.
Rotor Control
The rotor control is an invisible dial that you can use to change the results of up and
down ick gestures when VoiceOver is turned on.
Operate the rotor: Rotate two ngers on the iPod touch screen to “turn” the dial to
choose between options.
