Orientation
Touching or dragging across the screen explores items by location. Swiping left or right moves sequentially. Activating an item requires a VoiceOver gesture rather than the standard single tap.
Rotor and adjustment
The rotor changes what an up or down swipe does. Available options depend on context, settings, and the current interface, so tests should state which rotor option was selected.
Text and application flows
The page covers onscreen text entry, external keyboards, grouped navigation, dialogs, app transitions, web content, errors, and dynamic announcements.
Product-team implications
Check gesture conflicts, accessible order, labels for icon controls, focus after navigation, adjustable values, direct-touch experiences, and announcements after asynchronous changes.
External keyboard
VoiceOver uses a configurable VO modifier. Keyboard Help, VO navigation, Quick Nav, activation, rotor commands, and Escape provide a basic non-touch workflow.
Practical route
Run the same practice task once with touch and, where relevant, again with an external keyboard. Compare operation without assuming the announcement order will differ.
