[nabs-l] Ipod tuch and voiceover

[Humberto Avila]

I'm sorry if I have to say this, but I've never ever used a touchscreen
either. The only time I actually tapped on a touchscreen is when one of my
TVI's was using an iPhone and was showing me and another student how to pair
a Braille display with it.  I was prompted what to do though. I only
gathered this information about turning on voiceOver and the I devices since
I know about I devices like the iPhone and iPod touch by listening to
teachers, reading on web sites and from other blind people. Anyways, I hope
you can at least know the basic voiceOver gestures and how to do things such
as flicking, sliding, 2 and 3 finger tapping, ETC. to name a few. I think
there is a practice mode available under the voiceOver settings that allows
you to practice the touching and gestures and voiceOver can tell you what
they are and how to interact, just like you will find in most electronic
devices now. It is like a learning mode for the touchscreen for the IOS
devices.
Hope this helps.

Hello rania,

Your sister needs to look at settings. Once she goes to settings, she needs
to scroll to an item in that menu called accessibility. Once she clicks on
that, or rather say, she taps on that, there should be the voiceOver item,
it should say, "voice over: off." she needs to toggle that on. Then you will
be able to use her iPod touch. Just a FYI, if you have never used a
touchscreen, this will be new to you, and it might become a tedious process
at first. The touchscreen is a learning curve.

Hi everyone, My sister got the Ipod tuch. She is trying to set up voiceover
on it so I can play with it. I want one for my massage music but I want to
be comfortable with it first. How do you set up voiceover and use it?

Thanks.

Rania,
