Hear whatβs on the screen
 Control Mac with VoiceOver Have the built-in screen reader speak whatβs on the screen. Navigate your Mac with keyboard commands, trackpad gestures or a connected braille display. |  Speak onscreen text Even if VoiceOver is off, have your Mac speak all text on the screen, text under the pointer, what youβre typing and more. |
 Hear descriptions of video Get spoken descriptions of visual content in movies, TV shows and other media, when available. |
See whatβs on the screen more comfortably
 Zoom in Enlarge what youβre viewing β the entire screen or just a part of it. Using a second display? Set the zoom for it separately. |  Increase the size of text Use a single slider to adjust the reading size for text across multiple apps and system features. |
 Enlarge text as you read or type View a larger version of text youβre typing or whatever is under the pointer β text youβre reading or icons in the user interface. |  Make the pointer bigger Make it easier to find the pointer. Just change its size or colour, or quickly move it to make it bigger. |
 Adjust the display colours Differentiate content on the screen more easily by inverting colours, applying a colour filter and more. |  Use Dark Mode If you prefer light text on a dark background, choose a dark colour scheme for the macOS user interface. |
 Reduce onscreen motion Pause animated images, and slow down the motion of user interface elements. Or dim your display when media youβre viewing depicts strobe or flashing lights. |
Tip: Control your go-to accessibility features and settings with Siri, keyboard shortcuts or from the menu bar. See Quickly turn accessibility features on or off.
