CAUTION! Turning VoiceOver and other accessibility settings on affects the way the iPad interacts with your touch. Please read the information in the Settings Accessibility Menu carefully.

VoiceOver: Touch the screen to hear a description of the item under your
finger with the world’s first gesture-based screen reader.

Zoom: Magnify the entire screen of any application up to five times normal
size and move left, right, up, and down to view any portion of
the screen up close.

White on Black: For higher contrast, you can change the display to white on black.

Large Text: Increases font up to 56 pt in Mail & Notes

Mono Audio: If your hearing is limited in one ear, turn on Mono Audio to route
audio into one earbud, so you can select which side to channel the audio

Speak Selection:  The Speak Selection option can be switched on or off. When switched on, you can select on-screen text by holding your finger on the text until you see a "magnifying glass". Release your finger and then tap a Speak button to hear the text spoken. You may also drag the "selection" window to include a sentence, paragraph or "Select All" to read the entire page.

Using this feature does not require you to use a different method to access the device or apps like when using VoiceOver.

Speak Auto-text: Automatically speaks auto-corrections and auto-capitalizations
