VoiceOver You don’t need to see your Mac to use your Mac.
VoiceOver is a revolutionary built-in screen reader that’s more than a text-to-speech tool. It tells you exactly what’s on your screen and talks you through actions like editing a video, building a presentation or quickly navigating from one app to another.
Type to Siri Talk to Siri without saying a word.
Siri helps you do more with your desktop.* And now in macOS, there’s a new accessibility option to set Siri to “Type to Siri” mode and make requests using a physical or onscreen keyboard. Enter requests to search the web, send messages, locate documents, create reminders, and even turn on and off various accessibility settings. And you can use predictive typing to help predict the next word based on your typing.
Switch Control Control your Mac without lifting a finger.
Create amazing things with your Mac without touching a mouse or keyboard. With Switch Control, you can navigate through onscreen keyboards, menus and the Dock using a variety of switch options.
Text to Speech Go from written word to spoken word.
If you learn better when you can hear what you’re reading or writing, Text to Speech lets you highlight any text and have your Mac read it aloud. And you can choose from more than 70 male or female voices across 42 languages.
