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’s set for Voice Control. By default, this is
the language set for iPod touch in Settings > International > Language. You can
use the VoiceOver language setting to 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 iPod touch, 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:

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’s router button.

Zoom

Many iPod touch apps let you zoom in or out on specific elements. For example, you
can double-tap or use the pinch gesture to expand webpage columns in Safari.

Zoom is also a special accessibility feature that lets you magnify the entire screen of
any app you’re using, to help you see what’s on the display.
Turn Zoom on or off: In Settings, choose General > Accessibility > Zoom and tap the
Zoom On/Off switch.

Note: You can’t use VoiceOver and Zoom at the same time.
