Use VoiceOver with an Apple Wireless Keyboard
You can control VoiceOver using an Apple Wireless Keyboard paired with iPhone. See Use an
Apple Wireless Keyboard on page 33.
Use VoiceOver keyboard commands to navigate the screen, select items, read screen contents,
adjust the rotor, and perform other VoiceOver actions. Commands can use the Control-Option
key combination or the Caps Lock key, abbreviated in the list that follows as “VO.” (To choose a
modier key go to Settings > General > Accessibility > VoiceOver > Modier Keys.)
