[Blindtlk] quick Voice Over question

[Mike Freeman]

Julie:

Go to Settings, General, Accessibility. Then four-finger single-tap to get
to the last element on the screen. It is the Tripple-Click-Home button.
Double-tap on it and you'll be given a set of things you can designate
Tripple-Click-Home to do. The first one on the list is Toggle VoiceOver
ON/OFF. Double-tap to select this and then successively hit the Back Button
to get out of all the choices and back to the Settings home screen (you
don't really have to do this but I do). Then hit the Home Key to get out of
Settings and you're in business. Tripple-Click-Home will now toggle
VoiceOver on and off.

Subject: [Blindtlk] quick Voice Over question

Hello all!

I'm wondering if there is a way to turn Voice Over off and on without going
into the settings?  Over Christmas I was playing games with sighted family
members on my iPad.  We were passing it back and forth, working on a single
puzzle among the whole group.  It was fun, but turning VO off so they could
use it more easily and then back on for me was a pain.

I know how to turn the speech off with a three finger double tap, but that
only mutes the sound.  The gestures are still the same as with VO turned on.
I thought I read somewhere that you could press the home button three times
quickly to turn VO off and on, but that doesn't seem to work. I've  tried
looking on the Apple site and the Applevis site with no luck.

I'd be forever grateful for any help,
TIA
Julie
