Pause and Resume Speaking

Sometimes the speaking voice can make you nuts, or you want it to stop for a moment while you do something. You can pause the voice.

  • To pause VoiceOver in the middle of speaking something, tap Control.

    If you move the VoiceOver cursor (explained on the following page) after you pause, it will automatically begin speaking again.

  • To continue VoiceOver after you have paused, tap Control again.

  • To repeat the last spoken phrase, press Control Option Z.
