Use the VoiceOver rotor
Use the rotor to choose what happens when you swipe up or down with VoiceOver turned on, or
to select special input methods such as Braille Screen Input or Handwriting.
Operate the rotor. Rotate two ngers on the screen around a point between them.
Choose your rotor options. Go to Settings > General > Accessibility > VoiceOver > Rotor, then
select the options you want to include in the rotor.
The available rotor options and their eects 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 135.
