Hi Mike, The following link, accessed only from your iPhone or iPod Touch, will take you to the most current version of the iPhone User Guide: http://help.apple.com/iPhone This is the regular link to the iPhone User Guide that appears under your Safari Bookmarks when you get a new iPhone. When you reach this page with VoiceOver turned on, you'll hear a message, "VoiceOver users double tap here…" with a link. Double tapping on that link will take you to the accessible HTML version of the iPhone User Guide for your language. This HTML version can be accessed from any web browser. For english, the accessible HTML version of the iPhone User Guide (for iOS version 6) may be found at: http://help.apple.com/iphone/6/en.lproj/index.html For German this would be: http://help.apple.com/iphone/6/de.lproj/index.html
Once in the accessible HTML version, you can navigate directly to the link for "Accessibility" or the section for "VoiceOver" under that section and separately bookmark those pages, with the option to save this to your home screen for easy access (double tap the "Utility" button at the bottom of the iPhone screen, then double tap the "Add to Home Screen" button). If you need to find the exact address for other language versions of the iPhone User Guide in accessible HTML format, use the first link I listed from your iPhone. Then, before, double tapping the link announced for VoiceOver users, navigate to the "Change Language" button at the bottom of the page. (Note: you may have to get there by using a two finger flick read all gesture, since focus doesn't always move correctly to this button if you flick.) Double tapping the new language selection from the list will take you to the version of the regular iPhone User Guide in your newly selected language without your having to change the default language for your iPhone under Settings. Then, you can double tap the link for VoiceOver users at the start of the User Guide to get the accessible HTML version of the guide in another language. Alternatively, I've posted the links to a number of these guides, including HTML links to older iOS versions of the iPhone, iPod Touch, and iPad user guides, as comments at the AppleVis site: • Easy access to the iOS Manual http://www.applevis.com/guides/easy-access-ios-manual That page also gives links to the iBooks ePub versions of the iOS user guides. The one for the iPhone in iOS 6 for the U.S. Store may be found at: http://itunes.apple.com/us/book/iphone-user-guide-for-ios-6/id563272542?mt=11 If that link doesn't work for you, change the "us" following the "apple.com/" to your appropriate two letter country code, or just search for "iPhone User Guide" under iBooks.
