Accessibility

VoiceOver
Like the iPad. The iPod 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 that work with VoiceOver.

Zoom
While many iPod touch applications let you zoom in and out on specific elements such as images in Mail or web page columns in Safari, Zoom lets you magnify the entire screen of any application you’re using to help you see what’s on the display. Zoom can be enabled on iPod touch using iTunes when you’re setting up iPod touch for yourself or someone else or later, using the Accessibility menu in the Settings application on iPod touch. Zoom works everywhere, including the Home, Unlock and Spotlight screens — even with applications you purchase from the App Store. A simple double tap with three fingers instantly zooms in and out 200 percent and you can double-tap and drag three fingers to adjust the magnification between 100 percent and 500 percent. Even when the screen is zoomed, you can continue using all of the familiar flick, pinch, tap and other iPod touch gestures to run your favourite applications. Zoom can also be used with the White on Black (reverse video) and Speak Auto-text features.

Large Font Text
iPod touch includes a font size setting that lets you choose a standard or large font size. You can enable the large font in the Settings application.

White on Black
For those who prefer higher contrast, iPod touch provides an option to change the display to white on black. This reverse video effect works in all applications and on the Home, Unlock and Spotlight screens and it can be used with Zoom and VoiceOver.

Triple-Click Home
Listeners can use the triple-click Home button and set it to toggle VoiceOver or White on Black or ask you which one.

Speak Auto-text
When you’re typing, iPod touch suggests a word before you finish typing it or a correction when a word is misspelled. Speak Auto-text speaks these suggestions so you can hear them when they’re presented. When the screen is zoomed, for example, the suggestion might not be visible, but you can hear and accept it without seeing it. If you’re using VoiceOver, you won’t have to interrupt your typing and touch the suggestion to hear it. Speak Auto-text can be enabled even when you’re not using VoiceOver or Zoom.

Captioned Movies on iPod
iPod models that support video — including iPod classic, iPod nano (3rd, 4th, 5th and 6th generation) and iPod touch — can also display captions when present in the content. Captions display in a high-contrast white-on-black font that’s easy to read.

iPod touch iPod touch features a large 3.5-inch touchscreen that requires no finger pressure — only simple contact — making it extremely easy to operate. iPod touch has four physical buttons: the Sleep/Wake button located at the top, two volume buttons and the concave Home button below the screen. Easy to feel and operate, they all provide tactile feedback
