Appendix A Accessibility 123
Zoom
Many apps let you zoom in or out on specic items. For example, you can double-tap or pinch
to expand webpage columns in Safari. There’s also a Zoom accessibility feature that lets you
magnify the entire screen of any app you’re using. You can use Zoom together with VoiceOver.
Turn Zoom on or o. Go to Settings > General > Accessibility > Zoom. Or use the Accessibility
Shortcut. See Accessibility Shortcut on page 111.
Zoom in or out. Double-tap the screen with three ngers.
Vary the magnication. With three ngers, tap and drag up or down. The tap-and-drag gesture
is similar to a double-tap, except you don’t lift your ngers on the second tap—instead, drag
your ngers on the screen. Once you start dragging, you can drag with a single nger. iPod touch
returns to the adjusted magnication when you zoom out and in again using the three-nger
double-tap.
Pan around the screen. While zoomed in, drag the screen with three ngers. Once you start
dragging, you can continue with just one nger. Or hold a single nger near the edge of the
screen to pan to that side. Move your nger closer to the edge to pan more quickly. When you
open a new screen, Zoom goes to the upper-middle of the screen.
While using Zoom with an Apple Wireless Keyboard (see Use an Apple Wireless Keyboard on
page 24), the screen image follows the insertion point, keeping it in the center of the display.
Invert Colors
Sometimes, inverting the colors on the iPod touch screen may make it easier to read. When
Invert Colors is turned on, the screen looks like a photographic negative.
Invert the screen’s colors. Go to Settings > General > Accessibility > Invert Colors.
Speak Selection
Even with VoiceOver turned o, you can have your iPod touch read aloud any text you can select.
Turn on Speak Selection. Go to Settings > General > Accessibility > Speak Selection. There you
can also:
•
Choose a language, dialect, and voice quality
•
Adjust the speaking rate
•
Choose to have individual words highlighted as they’re read
Have text read to you. Select the text, then tap Speak.
Speak Auto-text
Speak Auto-text speaks the text corrections and suggestions iPod touch makes when you type.
Turn Speak Auto-text on or o. Go to Settings > General > Accessibility > Speak Auto-text.
Speak Auto-text also works with VoiceOver and Zoom.
