Accessibility

iPad 2 comes standard with accessibility features that help people with disabilities experience all that it has to offer.
Apple’s Commitment to Accessibility

Built-in accessibility.
iPad 2 comes with a screen reader, support for playback of closed-captioned content and other innovative universal access features — right out of the box. There’s no additional software to buy or install. These features make iPad 2 easier to use for people who have a vision impairment, are deaf or hard of hearing or have a physical or learning disability.
  
VoiceOver
Like iPhone and iPod touch, iPad 2 includes VoiceOver, the world’s first gesture-based screen reader for the blind. Instead of memorising keyboard commands or pressing tiny arrow keys, you simply touch the screen to hear a description of the item under your finger, then double-tap, drag or flick to control iPad. VoiceOver speaks 21 languages and works with all of the applications built into iPad. Apple also enables software developers to create applications for iPad 2 that work with VoiceOver.

Mono Audio
 If your hearing is limited in one ear, tap a checkbox to route both right- and left-channel audio into both headphones, so you can hear both channels in either ear.

Zoom
Zoom on iPad 2 lets you magnify the entire screen of any application. Zoom up to five times the normal size and move left, right, up and down to view any portion of the screen close up. Zoom works everywhere, including the Home, Unlock and Spotlight screens and with every application, including those you purchase from the App Store.

Closed Captioning
Every iPad 2 can display subtitles and closed captioning for the deaf and hard of hearing when playing movies and podcasts that support it. Movies and podcasts with closed captioning are available on the iTunes Store and can be downloaded directly to iPad 2 or synced to iPad 2 using iTunes.

White on Black
If you want higher contrast, iPad 2 lets you change the display to white on black. Use the White on Black feature in any application, as well as the Home, Unlock and Spotlight screens and with Zoom and VoiceOver.

Triple-click Home
If you only use the VoiceOver, White on Black or Zoom features occasionally or simply want a fast way to turn them on and off, enable the Triple-click Home feature. Then triple-click the Home button to turn VoiceOver, Zoom or White on Black on or off instantly. Can’t decide which one to use? Set Triple-click Home to “ask” and it will display a list of your options so you can choose the right one when you need it.
