How to use VoiceOver on iPad with a pointer device

If you use a pointer device with iPad, you can adjust how it works with VoiceOver. You can set the pointer to ignore, follow, or move the VoiceOver cursor, and adjust the delay before VoiceOver speaks the item under the pointer. You can also make the pointer easier to see.

  1. Open Settings, tap Accessibility, and then tap VoiceOver.
  2. Below Pointer Control, tap any of the following:
    • Pointer: Set the pointer to ignore, follow, or move the VoiceOver cursor.
    • Speak Under Pointer: You can adjust the delay to speak the item under the pointer.
