[musictlk] ipod touch

[Bill]

Another handy thing that I have learned is that I can hold in the round
button on my iPhone until I hear the chime and then I can say:
"Turn voiceOver on."

If I want to give my iPhone to a sighted person to use, I hold in the button
first and say:
"VoiceOver off."

Hi. I used an iPod touch fourth gen model followed by an iPhone 4s and
iPhone 5s without assistance from Apple and without a tactile screen
protector. The tactile screen protector may be handy but you'd do fine
without it...

A triple click of the home button usually turns on voiceover but if that is
not enabled on your device, you can have someone turn on voiceover manually
under settings-accessibility, or, simply enable it in iTunes.

iOS with voiceover is awesome and the learning curve isn't bad once you get
used to a touch interface.

I provide iOS training so feel free to shoot me an e mail off list if that
is something you'd be interested in once you get your iPod touch...

Cameron.
