VoiceOver
VoiceOver is a gesture-based screen reader that picks up on movement so you can enjoy using your device even if you can't see the screen. With VoiceOver enabled just click the home button three times to use it when you're using your phone. This will give you a description of everything happening on your screen from how much battery you have left to finding out who is calling you and on which app. The speed of the voice and the pitch can be adjusted to just how you like it. A wide range of languages are supported; from English, French and German to Mandarin, Arabic and Swedish!
Because VoiceOver is integrated into the operating system of your device it works brilliantly with all the built-in apps. You can create custom labels for buttons in any app so you know exactly what you're doing.
See below for some popular apps that you can use with VoiceOver, just click on the icon to go to the download page.
