If he is using VoiceOver, none of the physical switches work when VoiceOver is on. There are Bluetooth keyboard commands to do everything. I have both a document with keyboard commands and a list of what I think are all of the voice control commands on my web site: www.turner42.com
This is a great place to be asking your questions. Richard "He that cannot forgive others breaks the bridge over which he must pass himself,” and we forget that only grace can break the cycle of ancient hatreds among peoples. (It is notable that while I have regretted not granting grace to others, I’ve never once regretted extending it.)" - Edward Herbert -----Original Message----- From: 'Harry Bell' via VIPhone <[email protected]> Sent: Wednesday, June 17, 2020 12:58 AM To: [email protected] Subject: Re: ipad adjustments What about enabling Voice Control in Accessibility Settings? When you first enable the feature, it takes a couple of minutes to download the extra software but after that you can ask Siri to turn the feature on as required - and there is a voice control command to turn off voice control. Voice control commands can be used to replace all physical tapping and swiping and works well with or without VoiceOver. It is important either to use a headset or EarPods or else be careful to say “Command Mode”, otherwise text edit fields get filled up with every word you or VoiceOver say!
