iPad Accessibility Features
Powerful assistive features are built into iPad to complement your vision, hearing, motor skills, learning, and literacy. So you can create, learn, work, play, and do pretty much anything you want to do, wherever you want to do it, more easily than ever.
Voice Control
Voice Control
Voice Control lets you fully control your iPad using only your voice.1 A comprehensive set of commands makes it easy to quickly open and interact with your favorite apps. And you can navigate virtually any app through numbered labels alongside clickable items or by superimposing a grid to precisely select, zoom, and drag.

Turn a pinch into a tap.
iPad is remarkably intuitive and easy to use. AssistiveTouch lets you adapt the Multi-Touch screen to your physical needs. So if you need to change some gestures, like pinch, you can make them accessible with just a tap of a finger. You can create your own gestures and even customize the layout of the AssistiveTouch menu. And if you want an alternative to pressing the Home button, you can activate it with an onscreen tap. Gestures like rotate and shake are available even when your iPad is mounted on a wheelchair. iOS and iPadOS devices also support a number of third-party assistive devices that help you interact with your iPhone, iPad, and iPod touch. And now Mouse support in AssistiveTouch lets you connect a Bluetooth mouse to mimic finger touch for navigation.

VoiceOver
VoiceOver describes exactly what’s happening on the screen and lets you navigate using gestures or a braille display. Display Accommodations support color blindness and other vision needs. And Magnifier works like a digital magnifying glass.
VoiceOver is a gesture-based screen reader that lets you enjoy iPad even if you don’t see the screen. With VoiceOver enabled, just triple-click the Home button (or the top button on iPad Pro with Face ID) to access it wherever you are. Hear a description of everything happening on your screen, from battery level to who’s calling to which app your finger is on. You can also adjust the speaking rate and pitch to suit you.
