Key's Quick Tips are provided by Kelly Key, Assistive Technology Coordinator for Barrington 220. Each month, Kelly Key features a tool to support our students.
This month's featured tool is using Voice Control to access the iPad without using your hands.
There are many features built into the iPad that anyone can benefit from. Although these features are hidden under the Accessibility tab, they are not just useful for people with special needs. These are tools that anyone can use and benefit from. Voice control is just one of these features that you and your students should know about. Voice control is a feature that allows you to control the iPad without using your voice!
See the video example here...
You can use this when you...
- Are multitasking (ie: typing on your computer and want to do something on the iPad at the same time)
- Have an injury (ie: broken hand or arm) and have difficulty accessing the iPad
- Feel too tired to use your hands to navigate the iPad
- Prefer to speak your writing vs typing it
Directions:
On iPad, select Settings > Accessibility > Voice Control > Turn on Voice Control at the top.
