Use VoiceOver with an Apple Wireless Keyboard

You can control VoiceOver using an Apple Wireless Keyboard paired with iPhone. See

Use an

Apple Wireless Keyboard

on page 32.

Use VoiceOver keyboard commands to navigate the screen, select items, read screen contents,

adjust the rotor, and perform other VoiceOver actions. Most commands use the Control-Option

key combination, abbreviated in the list that follows as “VO.”

You can use VoiceOver Help to learn the keyboard layout and the actions associated with various

key combinations. VoiceOver Help speaks keys and keyboard commands as you type them,

without performing the associated action.
