If we have the screen curtain on, as most VO users do, most people will not
know how to turn it off.
Darn, that is otherwise a great idea.

Voiceover cannot read this particular info because it's a screen shot, a
photo.
But this info is for others that may find your phone if it's lost, or
especially helpful for other emergency situations.

Thanks,
I always have my screen turned off, to save battery power, because I can't
read it anyway. Will VO read this message if the screen is locked, and the
lock button is pressed?

I found this on another list, here's a great way to create what is
known as In Case of Emergency information for your iPhone.
You could certainly enter this info as an ICE contact, but this makes
the information available from the lock screen.
I did a bit of research just now and found an excellent way to record
your emergency information on your phone. With this technique, it
will show up on
your locked screen, with no need for someone to worry about entering
your password or contending with Voiceover. To accomplish this, do
the following:
1. Tap to open "notes" on your iPhone.
2. Tap on "add" or create a new note.
3. Enter any information you want, such as your contact details in
case of emergency or anything you would like to say to someone who
finds your phone.
4. Tap "done" to save it.
5. Turn voiceover off, then press the home and screen lock buttons
simultaneously. This will take a screen shot of your note.
6. In settings, go to wallpaper and change. You can then choose the
screen shot you just took from your camera roll. I think it will
always be the image
with the highest number, although I'm not totally sure about that.
7. You will be prompted as to which wallpaper you want to change.
Tap "locked screen."
