Have we covered how to get voiceover working on the iPhone? I assume
it's much the same on an iPod Touch.

If you have a nearby helpful sightie, it's much easier for them to do
it. I personally couldn't get voiceover working via my computer and
iTunes annoyingly.

Turn the phone on. Tap Settings. Then tap General. Then tap
Accessibility. Then tap Voiceover. Once in there, switch it on. It'll
speak to you. Then exit using the physical button below the screen and
you'll discover it works. 

Hurrah.

Hi David, 

If the IPod Touch works along the same lines as the IPhone, then you
will be able to turn on Voice Over by yourself. All you will need to do
is hook up the IPod to your computer, and as long as you have ITunes
installed, once you select the IPod from the list down the left-hand
side you should find an option which says "configure accessibility" in
the "summary" or "info" tab. 

Hope this helps
