[nabs-l] iphone problem

[Arielle Silverman]

Hi Lavonya,
If the person has Itunes on their computer, I think they can set up
speech on their iPhone by connecting it to the computer with Itunes
running and then going through the Setup assistant. But honestly, it
takes about five seconds for a sighted person to do it, and once the
speech is turned on, it will stay on even if the phone is restarted,
so if your friend has access to a sighted person for a few seconds to
turn it on one time that would probably be faster. I had VoiceOver
activated on my phone by the guy who sold it to me. A sighted person
can turn on speech by going to Settings, General, Accessibility, and
then checking the voiceOver on/off toggle.
