Accessibility on your Mac

Your Mac, iOS devices, and iPadOS devices include powerful tools to make Apple product features available and easy to use by all—such as VoiceOver, Voice Control, Switch Control, and Hover Text. Voice Control lets you control your Mac entirely with your voice. With features such as Hover Text and Zoom Display, you can interact with items on the screen in a variety of sizes. Read on to learn about the new Accessibility features. For comprehensive details about Accessibility support in Apple products, go to

New enhancements for VoiceOver. If you prefer the natural voice of Siri, you can now choose to use Siri for VoiceOver or Speech. Simplified keyboard navigation requires less drilling into unique focus groups—making it even easier to navigate with VoiceOver. You can also store custom punctation marks in iCloud, and choose from International Braille tables. And if you’re a developer, VoiceOver now reads aloud line numbers, break points, and warnings errors in the Xcode text editor.

Color Enhancements. If you have a color vision deficiency, you can now adjust your Mac display colors using new color filter options. It’s easy to toggle this preference on or off to quickly differentiate a color using the Accessibility Options panel, which you can access by pressing Command-Option-F5.
