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 dierent) switch to choose an action to perform on that
item or location. Three basic methods are:
•
Item scanning (default), which highlights dierent 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 specic 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.
