A triple click of the iPad’s home button will turn Voiceover on, but only if this has been setup in Accessibility settings. This is really no different than on the iPhone except that if you initially triple pressed the home button to start Voiceover to set up your iPhone with speech after you pulled it out of the box this would have been set up for you.
If the iPad was set up without Voiceover, which is likely, somebody would have to go to Settings > General > Accessibility and then find the very last button on the screen which is called “Accessibility Shortcut”. If it says “Accessibility Shortcut, Voiceover” then it’s already set up, if not it is a simple thing to tap on that button and tap on Voiceover to select it. Of course if the iPad is on WiFi or if it is a cellular model with a working SIM card you can simply press and hold the home button for a moment and tell SIRI “Turn on Voiceover”. Once Voiceover comes on you can go to Accessibility Settings and check it yourself.

As both a parent and an occasional volunteer in the nursery, I will go to the training on Sunday for this process which will involve an ipad connected to a printer. Does an ipad work the same way as an iphone in being able to a triple click or somethingthat simple to turn on VoiceOver when I need to use the iPad?I have never used an ipad and don’t know if it will work the same way as my phone. I’m currently on an iphone 6s. What do I need to tell or ask the church admin to get VoiceOver going as needed? Robin -- The following information is important for all members of the V iPhone list.
