How am I able to select items when using VoiceOver for supporting blind people?

Question

I'm using VoiceOver in one of my Apps and want to make it more accessible to blind people.

When loading up a viewcontroller a scrollview is displayed with multiple textviews in there. I would like to automaticly select the first textview when opening up my viewcontroller. Is there a workaround for these needs?

I'm using a navigationcontroller and a tabbarcontroller. At the moment the voiceover selects the backbutton firstly but I would like to select another UI part.

did you get a solution for UILabel s ? The accepted answer works well for a text view but not for a UILabel — rahulg, Apr 14 '14 at 12:38

A simple solution to automatically begin editing the first UITextView is to put this in the ViewDidLoad method:

[textView becomeFirstResponder];

Make sure you've setup your UITextView protocols and delegates and this should work.
