Looking for help on how to make a customized voice control command to change pages on the home screen

Hi all,
I have a student who is utilizing voice control with voiceover on his iPad. He is struggling with the phrase scroll left or scroll right to change pages on his home screen. Is there anyway to change the command to something like next page or previous page for voice control? Thank you for any help with this.

I think this should work. Have your student choose a gesture he can speak easily, such as 3 finger swipe right or left. Then, go the settings>accessibility>voiceover>commands>gestures and define the 3 finger swipe left or right to be the command you want. After that, your student should be able to use voice control to execute hand gestures, specifically, the gesture he's chosen that's easy to speak to carry out the command he is wanting to carry out.

Good luck!
