Accessibility Guide
Organic Camera is designed to work with Apple accessibility features, including Voice Control, VoiceOver, and Switch Control. Its minimal layout keeps key camera actions distinct and easier to identify.
Availability may vary by device, iOS version, camera mode, lens availability, and your system accessibility settings.
Before you begin
Turn on Voice Control in iOS first, then open Organic Camera. This puts iPhone into a listening state before you begin using the camera controls.
- Open Settings Go to the Settings app on your iPhone.
- Choose Accessibility Find the Accessibility section in Settings.
- Open Voice Control Select Voice Control from the accessibility options.
- Turn it on Complete the iOS setup if prompted, then enable Voice Control.
- Open Organic Camera Use commands for controls that are visible on the current screen.
Start with “Tap”
When using Voice Control, begin your command with “Tap”, followed by the visible name of the control. This makes the intended action clearer to iOS.
Use the control’s visible name
For example, instead of saying only “Hallmark”, say “Tap Hallmark”. For the shutter, say “Tap Shutter” or “Tap Capture”.
How Voice Control works
Voice Control lets you activate on-screen controls by speaking their names. Commands are most reliable when the matching control is visible and you use “Tap” + the control name.
Say Tap first
Begin every command with Tap, then say the name shown on screen.
Use what you see
Speak the current, visible label of the button you want to activate.
Ask iOS for help
Say “Show names” or “Show numbers” to reveal selectable controls.

Examples you can say

- “Tap Photo” to select photo mode.
- “Tap Video” to select video mode.
- “Tap Shutter” to capture a photo.
- “Tap Timer” to open timer controls.
- “Tap Restore Purchase” when that control is visible.
Turn on VoiceOver
VoiceOver reads the content of the screen aloud and helps you navigate through touch gestures. In Organic Camera, accessibility labels and hints help describe key controls before you activate them.
Start from the Settings app on your iPhone.
Open the Accessibility section in Settings.
Select VoiceOver from the accessibility options.
Enable VoiceOver and wait for iPhone to announce that it is active.
Explore controls one at a time, then double-tap the selected item to activate it.
With VoiceOver on, touch interactions change: tap once to hear the focused item, then double-tap to activate it. Use familiar VoiceOver gestures to move through controls and scroll the page.
If a command does not work
Voice Control works best when commands are spoken clearly and the correct camera screen is visible.
- Confirm that Voice Control is enabled in iOS Settings.
- Begin the command with “Tap”.
- Use the visible, on-screen name of the control.
- Make sure the control is currently available in the active camera mode.
- Say “Show names” to display available labels.
- Say “Show numbers” to choose a visible control by number.
- Remember that a camera, photo/video mode, lens, device model, and iOS accessibility settings can affect which controls are available.
Other accessibility support
Organic Camera supports a broader accessibility experience beyond Voice Control.
VoiceOver
Key controls use accessibility labels and hints to make their purpose clearer before activation.
Switch Control
Important controls are kept clear and reachable for alternative physical interaction methods supported by iOS.
Simple layout
The interface is intentionally minimal to reduce visual noise and keep capture actions more predictable.
