Scot,

 

The URL proceeds the info you need.

To turn accessibility features on or off

In iTunes

1. Connect iPhone or iPod touch to your computer.

2. In iTunes, select your device.

3. In the Summary pane, click Configure Universal Access in the Options
section.

iTunes Summary tab

4. Select the accessibility features that you want to use and click OK.

[Universal access options screenshot]

On the device

Tap Settings > General > Accessibility.

Accessibility settings

Note:

 You can have Zoom or VoiceOver on, but not both at the same time. Zoom and
VoiceOver

use the same gestures to perform different actions.

VoiceOver

If VoiceOver is on and you want to turn it off from the device instead of
from iTunes,

remember that a double-tap acts like a single tap and you need to use three
fingers

to scroll when VoiceOver is on:

1. Press Home.

2. Tap Settings. Then double-tap Settings.

3. Tap General. Then double-tap General.

4. Use three fingers on the screen to scroll to Accessibility.

5. Tap Accessibility. Then double-tap Accessibility.

6. Tap VoiceOver. Then double-tap VoiceOver.

7. Tap "On" next to VoiceOver. Then double-tap "On" to turn it off.

You can configure the device to display options for VoiceOver, Zoom, or
White on

Black when you triple-click the Home button. This feature is off by default;
to enable

it, tap

Settings > General > Accessibility > Triple-click Home.

If VoiceOver is on and the screen is black, but you can still use the device
by pressing

volume up and volume down, you may have screen curtain on. Try
triple-tapping using

three fingers on the device display to turn off screen curtain. Or connect
the device

to iTunes (see above).
