Assistive technology

is a dynamic process not just a product

is a team process

is a system of devices and services

requires new skills

is a step towards independence

Technology itself is not the goal…

The individual’s participation

in their chosen

activities is the goal.

The accessibility features on iPad include: Support for playback of closed-captioned content VoiceOver screen reader Zoom magnification White on Black Large Text Mono Audio Speak Auto-text Support for braille displays

www.apple.com/accessibility/ipad


+VoiceOver

VoiceOver describes aloud what appears onscreen

VoiceOver tells you about each element on the screen as you select it.

Touch the screen or drag your fingers to hear different items on the screen.

Turn on Speak Hints, VoiceOver may tell you the name of the item

When you go to a new screen, VoiceOver plays a sound and automatically selects and speaks the first element of the screen (typically, the item in the upper-left corner).

VoiceOver also lets you know when the display changes to landscape or portrait orientation, and when the screen is locked or unlocked.


+Setting Up VoiceOver

Turn VoiceOver on or off on iPad: In Settings, choose General > Accessibility > VoiceOver, then tap the VoiceOver On/Off switch.

You can also set Triple-click Home to turn VoiceOver on or off.

Note: You cannot use VoiceOver and Full-screen Zoom at the same time.


+VoiceOver Settings

You can set VoiceOver to give spoken hints, increase or decrease the speaking rate, or give typing feedback.

Turn spoken hints on or off: In Settings, choose General > Accessibility > VoiceOver, then tap the Speak Hints On/Off switch. Spoken hints are turned on by default.

Set the VoiceOver speaking rate: In Settings, choose General > Accessibility > VoiceOver, then adjust the Speaking Rate slider.

+VoiceOver Typing Feedback

Feedback You can choose Characters, Words, Characters and Words, or

Nothing for software keyboards and for Apple Wireless Keyboards.

Phonetics Use this feature when you type or read character-by-character,

to help make clear which characters were spoken. When Use Phonetics is turned on, Voiceover first speaks the character, then speaks a word beginning with the character. For example, if you type the character “f,” VoiceOver speaks “f,” and then a moment later, “foxtrot.”

To use pitch change – 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.

+VoiceOver Gestures

Navigate and Read Tap - Speak item. Flick right or left - Select the next or previous item. Two finger tap - Stop speaking the current item. Two finger flick up - Read all, from the top of the screen. Two finger flick down - Read all, from the current position. Three finger flick up or down - Scroll one page at a time. Three finger flick right or left - Go to the next or previous

page Four finger flick up or down – Go to the first or last element

on a page. Four finger flick right or left - Go to the next or previous

section

+VoiceOver Gestures

Select and Activate Double-tap: Activate selected item.

Touch an item with one finger, tap the screen with another finger (“split-tapping”): Activate item.

Double-tap and hold (1 second) + standard gesture: Use a standard gesture.

The double-tap and hold gesture tells iPad to interpret the subsequent gesture as standard. For example, you can double-tap and hold, and then without lifting your finger, drag your finger to slide a switch.

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.

Two-finger double tap: Play or pause in iPod, YouTube, or Photos. Start or stop the stopwatch.

Three-finger double tap: Mute or unmute VoiceOver.

Three-finger triple tap: Turn the display on or off.

+Activity: Practice Gestures

+More VoiceOver Goodness

Rotor Control - The rotor is a virtual control that acts like a physical dial when VoiceOver is turned on.

Entering and Editing Text - When you select a text field with VoiceOver, you can use the onscreen keyboard to enter text.

You can use a refreshable Bluetooth braille display to read VoiceOver output in braille. www.apple.com/accessibility/voiceover/devicesupport.


+Other Accessibility Options

The Zoom accessibility feature lets you magnify the entire screen to help you see what’s on the display.

Large Text lets you make the text larger in Mail and Notes. You can choose 20-point, 24-point, 32-point, 40-point, 48-point, or 56-point text.

Use White on Black to invert the colors on the iPad display, which may make it easier to read the screen.

+AssistiveTouch

allows users to perform gestures and button actions on the iPad with one touch

allows one-tap access to all of the iPad's functions including rotation, shaking, volume changes and even gestures

Known gestures such as pinch and swipe can be recalled by a tap, and custom gestures can even be recorded and played back on command
