how do I use keyboard and silent voice over?

Controlling VoiceOver using an Apple Wireless Keyboard
You can control VoiceOver using an Apple Wireless Keyboard paired with iPad. See Bluetooth devices.

VoiceOver Help speaks keys or keyboard commands as you type them. You can use VoiceOver Help to learn the keyboard layout and the actions associated with key combinations.

Use VoiceOver keyboard commands to navigate the screen, select items, read screen contents, adjust the rotor, and perform other VoiceOver actions. Most keyboard commands use the Control-Option key combination, abbreviated in the table below as “VO.â€
