While reading, VoiceOver does not indicate that a page has been bookmarked, but you can always learn if there is a bookmark on the page because the "Add Bookmark" button changes to "Remove Bookmark" when a bookmark is in place.

That sounds easy, but it can be difficult to find the footnote icon on the screen. However, it has not been designed to be compatible with VoiceOver. The accessibility issues are too numerous to detail in this space, but it is safe to say that the Bookstore app is a real train wreck.
It allows you to take a picture of a book with your iOS device and immediately purchase the book without having to search through the catalog. With its options for choosing the text size, font, and theme along with the brightness-level control, the NOOK app does a good job of accommodating readers with low vision, especially those using the iPad with its larger screen.
For people with low vision using VoiceOver, the latest versions of the iOS operating system do allow you to use VoiceOver and Zoom at the same time. There is no cursor to follow along with the speech when reading continuously, but when navigating by one of the rotor elements, the entire line containing the element is bordered by the VoiceOver cursor.
However, when navigating by line or words with the rotor during testing, the VoiceOver cursor bordering the line would sometimes disappear. Comment on this article. Skip to content.
