Controlling VoiceOver using an Apple Wireless Keyboard

VoiceOver Help speaks keys or keyboard commands as you type them. You can use VoiceOver Help to learn the keyboard layout and the actions associated with key combinations.

Use VoiceOver keyboard commands to navigate the screen, select items, read screen contents, adjust the rotor, and perform other VoiceOver actions. Most keyboard commands use the Control-Option key combination, abbreviated in the table below as "VO."

VoiceOver keyboard commands

VO = Control-Option (⌥)
