Edit a video without using a mouse or trackpad. Build a presentation without seeing the screen. Or track down important files for your next project with just your voice. Because Mac is designed for everybody to create amazing things.
Voice Control Use your voice to make things happen.
Now you can fully control your Mac using only your voice.1 Quickly open and interact with apps, search the web, and write and edit more efficiently with rich text editing commands. So you can simply say, “Move up two lines. Select previous word. Capitalise that.” And your Mac does it.
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.
Hover Text Quickly increase the size of what you’re reading.
Move your cursor over any text — a paragraph, a caption, a headline — then press Command for a bigger, high-resolution version of what you selected. Hover Text also lets you choose the fonts and colours that work best for you.
Siri Make requests by talking or typing.
Siri on Mac lets you quickly find and open files, set reminders, send text messages and more, making it easy to handle the things you do every day.2 With “Type to Siri” mode, you can make requests using a physical or onscreen keyboard. And Siri can also predict your next word based on what you’ve said before, so you can minimise typing over time.
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.
