[Electronics-talk] turning on VoiceOver for IPod Touch

[Fred Wurtzel]

Hi Jim,

What is the commjand for speak selection?  Is it different from a double
finger swipe up or down?  A swipe up reads the entire page from the top to
the end and the double finger swipe down reads from the current position to
the end.  

Thanks.

warm Regards,

Fred

Speak selection is something that will read any text that's been
selected.  This can be useful when voiceover is running if you need
feedback on what you're selecting.  It's also a handy way for sighted
folks to have things read to them.  i.e. select an entire article and
then listen to Samanatha read it.
