[Nfb-krafters-korner] iPhone Touch Typing

Sun Mar 13 20:23:45 UTC 2011

If you go into Settings > General > Accessibility, at the bottom of that screen is an option called "Triple Click Home." If you double-tap that, you can then choose "toggle VoiceOver", and then whenever you triple-click the home button, it'll turn VO on or off. Also, if you can get someone to help you while VoiceKver's turned off, you can turn Zoom on and then whenever VoiceOver's not on, you'll be able to turn Zoom on and off with a 3-finger double-tap. But triple-click homewill  always turn on and off VO.
