Apple iPod touch iOS 4.3 - Manual (Page 193)

By default, VoiceOver uses the language that’s set for iPod touch. You can set a
different language for VoiceOver.
Set the language for iPod touch: 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 iPod touch, 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 or
languages you want to appear in the Language rotor. To change the position of a
language in the list, touch next to the language and drag up or down.
The Language rotor is always available when you’ve selected more than one language.
VoiceOver Gestures
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’re 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 “split-tap” 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’t work, try quicker movements, especially for double-tapping and
flicking gestures. To flick, try quickly brushing the screen with your finger or fingers.
When VoiceOver is turned on, the VoiceOver Practice button appears, which gives you
a chance to practice VoiceOver gestures before proceeding.
