Teaching Strategies for Voice. Over: Lets think about. . . • What is the best way to hold each device? • How do you teach the layout of the screen? • What are the best strategies for mastering hand gestures? • Hand-Under-Hand • Demonstrating on the person’s hand

How Braille Displays Work: • Voice. Over and Braille work together: • Voice. Over must be on for the braille display to work! • If an app won’t work with Voice. Over, the braille display won’t work either • Braille chord commands are equivalent to hand gestures used with Voice. Over • Can mute Voice. Over and use only braille for navigation/reading To pair a braille display, go to the Settings icon, then select General, Accessibility, Voice. Over, and Braille. When you see your braille display under Choose a Braille Device, select your device. Enter the code 1234 on your i. OS Device* (not the refreshable braille display) to complete the pairing process. This only needs to be done the first time you use the braille display. To view all refreshable braille displays that work with i. OS devices go to: http: //www. apple. com/accessibility/iphone/braille-display. html *Most displays use the code 1234

How Bluetooth Keyboards Work: • Use ctrl and alt together to activate Voice. Over commands: • Voice. Over key commands are equivalent to hand gestures used with Voice. Over • Special functions keys act as “hot keys” to volume, music controls, home, search, etc. To pair a Bluetooth keyboard, go to the Settings icon, then select General, and Bluetooth. Enter the PIN number on your i. OS Device (see keyboard instructions for PIN number) to complete the pairing process. This only needs to be done the first time you use the keyboard.
