Large Text

Large Text lets you make the text larger in alerts, and in Calendar, Contacts, Mail, Messages, and Notes.
Set the text size: Go to Settings > General > Accessibility > Large Text.

White on Black

Use White on Black to invert the colors on the iPod touch screen, which may make it easier to read
the screen. When White on Black is turned on, the screen looks like a photographic negative.
Invert the screen’s colors: Go to Settings > General > Accessibility > White on Black.

Speak Selection

Even with VoiceOver turned off, you can have your iPod touch read aloud any text you can select.
Turn on Speak Selection and adjust speaking rate: Go to Settings > General > Accessibility >
Speak Selection.

Have text read to you

Select the text, then tap Speak.

Speak Auto-text

Speak Auto-text speaks the text corrections and suggestions iPod touch makes when you’re typing.
Turn Speak Auto-text on or off: Go to Settings > General > Accessibility > Speak Auto-text.

Speak Auto-text also works with VoiceOver or Zoom.

Mono Audio

Mono Audio combines the left and right stereo channels into a mono signal played through both
channels. You can adjust the balance of the mono signal for greater volume on the right or left.
Turn Mono Audio on or off and adjust the balance: Go to Settings > General > Accessibility >
Mono Audio.

AssistiveTouch

AssistiveTouch helps you use iPod touch if you have difficulty touching the screen or pressing
the buttons. You can use a compatible adaptive accessory (such as a joystick) together with
AssistiveTouch to control iPod touch. You can also use AssistiveTouch without an accessory to
perform gestures that are difficult for you.
Turn on AssistiveTouch: Go to Settings > General > Accessibility > AssistiveTouch. You can also
set Triple-click Home to turn AssistiveTouch on or off; go to Settings > General > Accessibility >
Triple-click Home.

Go to Settings > General > Accessibility > AssistiveTouch > Touch speed.
