Hi folks,
When I am learning something new and I think I will need information, I copy it
out so that I can get to it easier.
I have made a copy of the accessibility chapter of the IOS 4 guide for my self
and I thought you mite like a copy, so here it is in RTF.
HTH.

\fs28 \cf3 Universal Access Features\
\fs20 \cf2 In addition to the many features that make iPhone easy to use for
everyone, accessibility features (iPhone 3GS or later) are designed to make it
easier for users with visual, auditory, or other physical disabilities to use
iPhone. These accessibility features include:
\fs18 \'c2
\fs20 VoiceOver\
\fs18 \'c2
\fs20 Zoom
\fs18 \'c2
\fs20 Large Text
\fs18 \'c2
\fs20 White on Black
\fs18 \'c2
\fs20 Mono Audio
\fs18 \'c2
\fs20 Speak Auto-text
\fs18 \'c2
\fs20 Support for braille displays\
With the exception of VoiceOver, these accessibility features work with all
iPhone applications, including third-party applications you download from the
App Store. VoiceOver works with all applications that come preinstalled on
iPhone. In addition, third-party developers can use the iPhone Accessibility
API to make their applications accessible for VoiceOver users.\
For more information about iPhone accessibility features, go to
www.apple.com/accessibility.\
Each accessibility feature can be turned on or off in Accessibility settings on
iPhone. You can also turn accessibility features on or off in iTunes when
iPhone is connected to your computer.\
Turn accessibility features on or off in iTunes:\
\cf3 1 \cf2 Connect iPhone to your computer. \cf3 2 \cf2 In iTunes, select
iPhone in the sidebar. \cf3 3 \cf2 In the Summary pane, click Configure
Universal Access in the Options section.\
\fs17 211\
\fs20 \cf3 4 \cf2 Select the accessibility features that you want to use and
click OK.\
The Large Text feature can only be turned on or off using iPhone settings. See
\'93Large Text\'94 on page 223.\
You can also turn \'93Show closed captions when available\'94 on or off in iPod
settings. See \'93Videos\'94 on page 96.\
\fs28 \cf3 VoiceOver\
\fs20 \cf2 VoiceOver describes aloud what appears onscreen, so that you can use
iPhone without seeing it. VoiceOver speaks in the language specified in
International settings, which may be influenced by the Region Locale setting.\
Note: VoiceOver is available in many languages, but not all.\
VoiceOver tells you about each element on the screen as it\'92s selected. When
an element is selected, it\'92s enclosed by a black rectangle (for the benefit
of those who can see the screen) and VoiceOver speaks the name or describes the
item. The enclosing rectangle is referred to as the VoiceOver cursor. If text
is selected, VoiceOver reads the text. If a control (such as a button or
switch) is selected and Speak Hints is turned on, VoiceOver may tell you the
action of the item or provide instructions for you\'97for example,
\'93double-tap to open.\'94\
When you go to a new screen, VoiceOver plays a sound and then selects and
speaks the first element of the screen (typically, the item in the upper-left
corner). VoiceOver also lets you know when the screen changes to landscape or
portrait, and when it is locked or unlocked.\
\fs24 \cf3 Setting Up VoiceOver\
\fs20 Important: \cf2 VoiceOver changes the gestures used to control iPhone.
Once VoiceOver is turned on, you have to use VoiceOver gestures to operate
iPhone\'97even to turn VoiceOver off again to resume standard operation.\
\fs17 212\
Chapter 28 \cf3 Accessibility\
\fs20 \cf2 The tasks in this section describe how to change VoiceOver settings
when VoiceOver is turned off. To learn how to select items, tap, adjust
sliders, and perform other actions when VoiceOver is turned on, see \'93Using
VoiceOver\'94 on page 217.\
Turn VoiceOver on or off: In Settings, choose General > Accessibility >
VoiceOver and tap the VoiceOver On/Off switch.\
You can also set Triple-click Home to turn VoiceOver on or off. See
\'93Triple-click Home\'94 on page 224.\
Note: You cannot use VoiceOver and Zoom at the same time.\
Turn spoken hints on or off: In Settings, choose General > Accessibility >
VoiceOver, and tap the Speak Hints On/Off switch. When Speak Hints is turned
on, VoiceOver may tell you the action of the item or provide instructions for
you\'97for example, \'93double- tap to open.\'94 Speak Hints is turned on by
default.\
Set the VoiceOver speaking rate: In Settings, choose General > Accessibility >
VoiceOver, and adjust the Speaking Rate slider.\
You can choose what kind of feedback you get when you type. You can set
VoiceOver to speak characters, words, both, or nothing. If you choose to hear
both characters and words, VoiceOver speaks each character as you type it, then
speaks the whole word when you finish it by entering a space or punctuation.\
Choose typing feedback: In Settings, choose General > Accessibility > VoiceOver
> Typing Feedback, then choose Characters, Words, Characters and Words, or
Nothing.\
\fs17 Use phonetics\
Use pitch change\
In Settings, choose General > Accessibility > VoiceOver, then tap the Use
Phonetics switch to turn it on.\
Use phonetics when you\'92re typing or reading character-by-character to help
make it clear which characters were spoken. When Use Phonetics is turned on,
Voiceover first speaks the character you select or read, then speaks a word
beginning with the character. For example, if you select the character
\'93f,\'94 VoiceOver speaks \'93f\'94 and then a moment later \'93foxtrot.\'94\
In Settings, choose General > Accessibility > VoiceOver, then tap the Use Pitch
Change switch to turn it on.\
VoiceOver uses a higher pitch when entering a letter, and a lower pitch when
deleting a letter. VoiceOver also uses a higher pitch when speaking the first
item of a group (such as a list or table) and a lower pitch when speaking the
last item of a group.\

\cf3 Accessibility\
\cf2 213\
214 Chapter 28 \cf3 Accessibility\
\fs20 \cf2 By default, VoiceOver uses the language that\'92s set for iPhone.
You can set a different language for VoiceOver.\
Set the language for iPhone: In Settings, choose General > International >
Language, then select a language and tap OK. Some languages may be influenced
by the Region Local setting. In Settings, choose General > International >
Region Format and select the format.\
Set the language for VoiceOver: In Settings, choose General > International >
Voice Control, then choose the language.\
If you change the language for iPhone, you may need to reset the language for
VoiceOver.\
Set the rotor options for web browsing: In Settings, choose General >
Accessibility > VoiceOver > Web Rotor. Tap to select or deselect options. To
change the position of an item in the list, touch next to the item, then
drag up or down.\
Select the languages available in the Language rotor: In Settings, choose
General > Accessibility > VoiceOver > Language Rotor and tap to select the
language you want to appear in the Language rotor. To change the position of a
language in the list, touch\
next to the language, then drag up or down. The Language rotor is always
available when you\'92ve selected more than one language.\
\fs24 \cf3 VoiceOver Gestures\
\fs20 \cf2 When VoiceOver is turned on, the standard touchscreen gestures have
different effects. These and some additional gestures let you move around the
screen and control individual elements when they\'92re selected. VoiceOver
gestures include two- and three-fingers gestures to tap or flick. For best
results when using two- and three-finger gestures, relax and let your fingers
touch the screen with some space between them.\
You can use standard gestures when VoiceOver is turned on, by double-tapping
and holding your finger on the screen. A series of tones indicates that normal
gestures are in force. They remain in effect until you lift your finger. Then
VoiceOver gestures resume.\
You can use different techniques to enter VoiceOver gestures. For example, you
can enter a two-finger tap using two fingers from one hand, or one finger from
each hand. You can also use your thumbs. Many find the \'93split-tap\'94
gesture especially effective: instead of selecting an item and double-tapping,
you can touch and hold an item with one finger, then tap the screen with
another finger. Try different techniques to discover which works best for you.\
If your gestures don\'92t work, try quicker movements, especially for
double-tap and flicking gestures. To flick, try quickly brushing the screen
with your finger or fingers. When VoiceOver is turned on, the Practice Gestures
setting appears, which gives you a chance to practice VoiceOver gestures before
proceeding.\
Practice gestures: In Settings, choose General > Accessibility > VoiceOver,
then tap Practice VoiceOver Gestures. When you\'92re finished practicing, tap
Done.\
Here\'92s a summary of key VoiceOver gestures:\

216 Chapter 28 \cf3 Accessibility\
\fs24 Rotor Control\
\fs20 \cf2 The rotor control is a virtual dial that you can use to change the
results of up and down flick gestures when VoiceOver is turned on.\
Operate the rotor: Rotate two fingers on the iPhone screen to \'93turn\'94 the
dial to choose between options.\
The current setting appears on the screen and is spoken aloud.\
The effect of the rotor depends on what you\'92re doing. For example, if
you\'92re reading text in an email you received, you can use the rotor to
switch between hearing text spoken word-by-word or character-by-character when
you flick up or down. If you\'92re browsing a webpage, you can use the rotor
setting to hear all the text (either word-by- word or character-by-character),
or to jump from one element to another of a certain type, such as headers or
links.\
The following lists show the available rotor options, depending on the context
of what you\'92re doing.\

\fs24 \cf3 Using VoiceOver\
\fs20 \cf2 Select items on the screen: Drag your finger over the screen.
VoiceOver identifies each element as you touch it. You can move systematically
from one element to the next by flicking left or right with a single finger.
Elements are selected from left-to- right, top-to-bottom. Flick right to go to
the next element, or flick left to go to the previous element.\
Use four-finger gestures to select the first or last element on a screen.\
\fs18 \'c2
\fs20 Select the first element on a screen: Flick up with four fingers.\
\fs18 \'c2
\fs20 Select the last element on a screen: Flick down with four fingers.\
\'93Tap\'94 a selected item when VoiceOver is turned on: Double-tap anywhere on
the screen.\
Speak the text of an element, character-by-character or word-by-word: With the
element selected, flick up or down with one finger. Flick down to read the next
character, or flick up to read the previous character. Use phonetics to have
VoiceOver also speak a word beginning with the character being spoken. See
\'93Setting Up VoiceOver\'94 on page 212.\
Twist the rotor control to have VoiceOver read word-by-word.\
Adjust a slider: With a single finger, flick up to increase the setting or down
to decrease the setting. VoiceOver announces the setting as you adjust it.\
\fs17 Chapter 28 \cf3 Accessibility \cf2 217\
218 Chapter 28 \cf3 Accessibility\
\cf2 Scroll a list or area of the screen\
Use a list index\
Reorder a list\
Flick up or down with three fingers. Flick down to page down through the list
or screen, or flick up to page up. When paging through a list, VoiceOver speaks
the range of items displayed (for example, \'93showing rows 5 through 10\'94).\
You can also scroll continuously through a list, instead of paging through it.
Double-tap and hold. When you hear a series of tones, you can move your finger
up or down to scroll the list. Continuous scrolling stops when you lift your
finger.\
Some lists have an alphabetical index along the right side. The index cannot be
selected by flicking between elements; you must touch the index directly to
select it. With the index selected, flick up or down to move along the index.
You can also double-tap, then slide your finger up or down.\
Some lists, such as Favorites in Phone, and Web Rotor and Language Rotor in
Accessibility settings can be reordered. Select on the right side of an
item, double-tap and hold until you hear a sound, then drag up or down.
VoiceOver speaks the item you\'92ve moved above or below, depending on the
direction you\'92re dragging.\
\fs20 Unlock iPhone: Select the Unlock switch, then double-tap the screen.\
Rearrange the Home screen: On the Home screen select the icon you want to move.
Double-tap and hold, then drag the icon. VoiceOver speaks the row and column
position as your drag the icon. Release the icon when it\'92s in the location
you want. You can drag additional icons. Drag an item to the left or right edge
of the screen to move it to another page of the Home screen. When you\'92re
finished, press the Home button.\
\fs17 Mute VoiceOver\
Stop speaking an item\
Turn off the display while you use VoiceOver\
Double-tap with three fingers. Double-tap again with three fingers to turn
speaking back on. To turn off only VoiceOver sounds, set the Ring/ Silent
switch to Silent.\
If you have an external keyboard connected, you can also press the Control key
on the keyboard to mute or unmute VoiceOver.\
Tap once with two fingers. Tap again with two fingers to resume speaking.
Speaking automatically resumes when you select another item.\
Triple-tap with three fingers. Triple-tap again with three fingers to turn on
the display again.\
Speak entire screen from the top Flick up with two fingers.\
Speak from current item to bottom of screen Flick down with two fingers.\
\fs20 You can hear iPhone status information by touching the top of the screen.
This can include the time, battery life, Wi-Fi signal strength, and more.\
\fs24 \cf3 Making Phone Calls with VoiceOver\
\fs20 \cf2 Double-tap the screen with two fingers to answer or end a call. When
a phone call is established with VoiceOver on, the screen displays the numeric
keypad by default, instead of showing call options. This makes it easier to use
the keypad to respond to a menu of options when you reach an automated system.\
Display call options: Select the Hide Keypad button in the lower-right corner
and double-tap.\
Display the numeric keypad again: Select the Keypad button near the center of
the screen and double-tap.\
\fs24 \cf3 Entering and Editing Text\
\fs20 \cf2 When you enter an editable text field, you can use the onscreen
keyboard or an external keyboard connected to iPhone to enter text.\
There are two ways to enter text in VoiceOver\'97standard typing and
\'93touch\'94 typing. With standard typing, you select a key, then double-tap
the screen to enter the character. With touch typing, you touch to select a key
and the character is entered automatically when you lift your finger. Touch
typing can be quicker, but may require more practice than standard typing.\
VoiceOver also lets you use the editing features of iPhone to cut, copy, or
paste in a text field.\
Enter text:\
\cf3 1 \cf2 Select a text field to bring up the onscreen keyboard.\
You may need to double-tap to bring up the keyboard, if it doesn\'92t appear
automatically. VoiceOver will tell you if the text field \'93is editing\'94 or
if you need to \'93double-tap to edit.\'94\
If the field already contains text, the insertion point is placed either at the
beginning or at the end of the text. Double-tap to move the insertion point to
the opposite end. VoiceOver tells you the position of the insertion point.\
\cf3 2 \cf2 Use the keyboard to type characters:\
\fs17 Chapter 28 \cf3 Accessibility \cf2 219\
220 Chapter 28 \cf3 Accessibility\
\fs18 \cf2 \'c2
\fs20 Standard typing: Select a key on the keyboard by flicking left or right,
then double- tap to enter the character. Or move you finger around the keyboard
to select a key and, while continuing to touch the key with one finger, tap the
screen with another finger to enter the character. VoiceOver speaks the key
when it\'92s selected, and again when the character is entered.\
\fs18 \'c2
\fs20 Touch typing: Touch a key on the keyboard to select it, then lift your
finger to enter the character. If you touch the wrong key, move your finger on
the keyboard until you select the key you want. VoiceOver speaks the character
for each key as you touch it, but doesn\'92t enter a character until you lift
your finger.\
Note: Touch typing works only for the keys that actually enter text. Use
standard typing for other keys such as Shift, Delete, and Return.\
VoiceOver tells you when it thinks you\'92ve misspelled a word.\
Choose standard or touch typing: With VoiceOver turned on and a key selected on
the keyboard, use the rotor to select Typing Mode, then flick up or down.\
Move the insertion point: Use the rotor to choose whether you want to move the
insertion point by character, by word, or by line. By default, VoiceOver moves
the insertion point character-by-character.\
Flick up or down to move the insertion point forward or backward in the text.
VoiceOver makes a sound when the insertion point moves, and speaks the
character that the insertion point moves across.\
When moving the insertion point by word, VoiceOver speaks each word as you move
across it. When moving forward, the insertion point is placed at the end of the
traversed word, before the space or punctuation that follows it. When moving
backward, the insertion point is placed the end of the word preceding the
traversed word, before the space or punctuation that follows it. To move the
insertion point past the punctuation at the end of a word or sentence, use the
rotor to switch back to character mode.\
When moving the insertion point by line, VoiceOver speaks each line as you move
across it. When moving forward, the insertion point is placed at the beginning
of the next line (except when you reach the last line of a paragraph, when the
insertion point is moved to the end of the line just spoken). When moving
backward, the insertion point is placed at the beginning of the line that\'92s
spoken.\
Delete a character: Select the Delete key, then double-tap or split-tap. You
must do this even when touch typing. To delete multiple characters, touch and
hold the Delete key, then tap the screen with another finger once for each
character your want to delete. VoiceOver speaks the character as it\'92s
deleted. If you have Use Pitch Change turned on, VoiceOver speaks deleted
characters in a lower pitch.\
Select text: Set the rotor to Edit, flick up or down to choose Select or Select
All, then double tap. If you chose Select, the word closest to the insertion
point is selected when you double-tap. If you chose Select All, the entire text
is selected.\
Pinch apart or together to increase or decrease the selection.\
Cut, copy, or paste: Make sure the rotor is set to edit. With text selected,
flick up or down to choose Cut, Copy, or Paste, then double-tap.\
Undo: Shake iPhone, flick left or right to choose the action to undo, then
double-tap.\
Enter an accented character: In standard typing mode, select the plain
character, then double-tap and hold until you hear a sound indicating alternate
characters have appeared. Drag left or right to select and hear the choices.
Release your finger to enter the current selection.\
Change the language you\'92re typing in: Set the rotor to Language, then flick
up or down. Choose \'93default language\'94 to use the language specified in
International settings.\
Note: The Language rotor appears only if you\'92ve selected more than one
language in the VoiceOver Language Rotor setting. See \'93Setting Up
VoiceOver\'94 on page 212.\
\fs24 \cf3 Using Maps\
\fs20 \cf2 With VoiceOver, you can zoom in or out, select pins, and get
information about locations.\
Zoom in or out: Use the rotor to choose zoom mode, then flick up or down to
zoom in or out.\
Select a pin: Touch a pin, or flick left or right to move from one item to
another.\
Get information about a location: With a pin selected, double-tap to display
the information flag. Flick left or right to select the flag, then double-tap
to display the information page.\
\fs24 \cf3 Editing Videos and Voice Memos\
\fs20 \cf2 You can use VoiceOver gestures to trim Camera videos and Voice Memo
recordings.\
Trim a voice memo: On the Voice Memos screen, select the button to the right of
the memo you want to trim, then double-tap. Then select Trim Memo and
double-tap. Select the beginning or end of the trim tool. Flick up to drag to
the right, or flick down to drag to the left. VoiceOver announces the amount of
time the current position will trim from the recording. To execute the trim,
select Trim Voice Memo and double-tap.\
Trim a video: While viewing a video, double-tap the screen to display the video
controls. Select the beginning or end of the trim tool. Then flick up to drag

\fs24 Using a Braille Display with VoiceOver\
\fs20 \cf2 Setting Up a Braille Display\
You can use a refreshable Bluetooth braille display to read VoiceOver output in
braille. In addition, braille displays with input keys and other controls can
be used to control iPhone when VoiceOver is turned on. iPhone works with many
of the most popular wireless braille displays. For a list of supported braille
displays, see www.apple.com/accessibility.\
Set up a braille display:\
Turn on the braille display.\
On iPhone, turn on BlueTooth.\
In Settings, choose General > Bluetooth, then tap the Bluetooth switch.\
In Settings, choose General > Accessibility > VoiceOver > Braille, then choose
the braille display.\
Turn contracted braille on or off: In Settings, choose General > Accessibility
> VoiceOver > Braille, then tap the Contracted Braille switch.\
Choosing a Language\
The braille display uses the language that\'92s set for VoiceControl. By
default, this is the language set for iPhone. You can set a different language
for VoiceOver and braille displays.\
Set the language for VoiceOver: In Settings, choose General > International >
Voice Control, then choose the language.\
If you change the language for iPhone, you may need to reset the language for
VoiceOver and your braille display.\
Controlling VoiceOver with Your Braille Display\
You can set the leftmost or rightmost cell of your braille display to provide
system status and other information:\
\fs18 \'c2
\fs20 Announcement History contains an unread message\
\fs18 \'c2
\fs20 The current Announcement History message has not been read\
\fs18 \'c2
\fs20 VoiceOver speech is muted\
\fs18 \'c2
\fs20 The iPhone battery is low (less than 20% charge)\
\fs18 \'c2
\fs20 iPhone is in landscape orientation\
\fs18 \'c2
\fs20 The screen display is turned off\
\fs18 \'c2
\fs20 The current line contains additional text to the left\
\fs18 \'c2
\fs20 The current line contains additional text to the right\
Set the leftmost or rightmost cell to display status information: In Settings,
choose General > Accessibility > VoiceOver > Braille > Status Cell, then tap
Left or Right.\
See an expanded description of the status cell: On your braille display, press
the status cell\'92s router button.\
\fs28 \cf3 Zoom\
\fs20 \cf2 Many iPhone applications let you zoom in and out specific elements.
For example, you can double-tap or use the pinch gesture to expand webpage
columns in Safari. Zoom is a special accessibility feature that lets you
magnify the entire screen of any application you\'92re using to help you see
what\'92s on the display.\
Turn Zoom on or off: In Settings, choose General > Accessibility > Zoom and tap
the Zoom On/Off switch.\
Note: You cannot use VoiceOver and Zoom at the same time.\
Zoom in or out: Double-tap the screen with three fingers. By default, the
screen is magnified by 200 percent. If you manually change the magnification
(by using the tap- and-drag gesture, described below), iPhone automatically
returns to that magnification when you zoom in by double-tapping with three
fingers.\
Increase magnification: With three fingers, tap and drag toward the top of the
screen (to increase magnification) or toward the bottom of the screen (to
decrease magnification). The tap-and-drag gesture is similar to a double-tap,
except you don\'92t lift your fingers on the second tap\'97instead, drag your
fingers on the screen. Once you start dragging, you can drag with a single
