Web Browsing with VoiceOver
| Using VoiceOver to access the web is very similar to accessing the web with other screen reading programs. Users will navigate the page by HTML elements, such as: headings, links, form controls, and more. |
Note that this guide uses the abbreviation “VO” to represent the VoiceOver button(s). Any time you see VO, you can use either Caps Lock or Control + Option (depending on your settings).

Quick Navigation
| Navigating by element using VoiceOver can get a little keyboard combination heavy. So, for those who wish to utilize this functionality without using all their fingers at once, there is a feature called “Quick Navigation”. Quick Navigation (or “Quick Nav”) has to be activated in the VoiceOver Utility. |
