If the triple home click doesn't do the job and if you have no sight you will
require the assistance of someone who can see to turn VO on. It's a very easy
thing for them to do and is done through settings/accessibility. Voiceover is
the first toggle in that list. Once it's done you should be off and running.
As for the apps you'll need, that really depends on what sort of information
you're after and what you want to use the device to do.
