Use VoiceOver for images and videos on iPod touch

You can use the Camera  and Photos  apps with VoiceOver, even if you can’t see the screen. VoiceOver can provide image descriptions, and you can even add your own descriptions using Markup.

Take photos and videos in Camera

When you use Camera, VoiceOver describes objects in the viewfinder.

To take a photo or start, pause, or resume a video recording, double-tap the screen with two fingers.

Explore images

When you use the Image Explorer, VoiceOver tells you about people, objects, text, and tables within images. You can navigate receipts and nutrition labels in logical order, or move your finger over a photo to discover a person’s position relative to other objects.

  1. Go to Settings  > Accessibility > VoiceOver > VoiceOver Recognition, then turn on Image Descriptions.

  2. In an app such as Photos or Safari, select an image.

  3. Swipe up to hear more options, then double-tap when you hear “Explore image features.”

  4. Move your finger around on the image to find out the position of each object.

Add custom image descriptions

Using Markup, you can add your own descriptions to images. VoiceOver reads your custom descriptions when you use the Image Explorer.

  1. In a supported app such as Photos, tap the Show Handwriting Tools button.

  2. In the Markup toolbar, tap the Add Annotation button, then tap Description.

    A drawing of a kitchen remodel is shown with the Markup tools at the bottom of the screen. A menu with choices for adding a description, text, a signature, a magnifier, and shapes appears in the lower-right corner.

  3. Enter your description, then tap Done.

Trim videos in Photos

  1. Select the video you want to trim, then double-tap.

  2. Select Edit, then double-tap.

  3. Select Start or End (on the media scrubber), then swipe up or down to adjust the start or end time.

  4. When you’re finished, select Done, then double-tap.
