The newly released iOS 4.2.1 for iPhone, iPad and iPod devices includes some enhancements to VoiceOver.

Updates include improved web navigation options such as enhanced table navigation and the ability to change the speech rate using the rotor.

Another new feature that is useful for people who are blind or vision impaired is the ability to find text on a webpage. When you are browsing a webpage through Safari, you can now search for a specific word or phrase, and subsequently find and highlight these on a webpage.

Kevin Chao, blind computer science student and registered Apple iOS developer, has written a list of his own observations as a VoiceOver user.
