HELP!! Screen Curtain will not Shutoff on iPad mini

Every time I turn on voice over the screen curtain enables as well and my screen goes black.


Three taps of home doesn't work.


Three finger triple tap on the screen just says "speech off or speech on" but doesn't Disable the screen curtain. Help! We need voice over, but also need to see the screen.

iPad, iOS 7.1.1

Hi Fishtech1,


Welcome to the Support Communities! The article below will help you troubleshoot the issue you are having with the screen curtain:


VoiceOver Utility (Mountain Lion): Turn the screen black using screen curtain

For added privacy, you can prevent those around you from reading the screen by using the screen curtain, which temporarily turns the screen black. The screen curtain is also useful for sighted users who want to avoid reading the screen while learning to use VoiceOver.

Press VO-Shift-F11. If you’re using VoiceOver gestures, triple-tap with three fingers.

To turn off the screen curtain, repeat the command or gesture.

If you turn off VoiceOver while the screen curtain is on, the screen curtain is also turned off.
