Greetings,

I do not use this beastie but as I came across this on another techy group,
thought it would be useful to you.

If you go into Settings, then General, then Accessibility and then 
VoiceOver you will find an area where you can practice using VoiceOver 
gestures. You can tap, flick and swipe with one, two, three or even four 
fingers and VoiceOver will tell you what the gesture normally does 
without actually performing the function. It's very similar to keyboard 
help found in screen readers or digital book players.
However, if you want to practice your gestures without burrowing deep 
into the Settings menu there's a quicker way to do it. Just do a 
four-finger double-tap anywhere on the screen. Once you do this, 
VoiceOver help mode will start. To get out of this mode, you can do 
another four-finger double-tap, do a two-finger scrub or press the home 
button.
