Is it possible to customise the sensitivity of Voiceover gestures?

By Adriana White, 25 April, 2022

iOS and iPadOS

Hello,
I have a braille student who uses voiceover to access her iPad. She has some fine motor concerns and does not always get the voiceover gesture correct even through she is trying. Is there some way to change the sensitivity on the iPad to read her gestures?
Thank you

Hi. I suggest you explore settings>accessibility>touch>touch accommodations. There may be one or more settings there that can be adjusted to help your student.

Good luck!

The one I changed

Somewhere, in the Voice Over options, I very slightly extended the time I had between taps, in other words, I could make the double tap more slowly. For some reason, it felt unnatural at the factory speed, and the phone sometimes thought I was single tapping twice instead of double tapping once. There's many other options you can change on the gestures to help too. For example, I sometimes had difficulty getting the rotor-change, twisty gesture, so I changed it to two-finger, swipe left and right. Just explore those accessibility settings, might find something that helps.
