Starting with macOS X, Apple has included a native screen reader called VoiceOver on its Macs and MacBooks. The feature is designed to help low-vision or blind users navigate their computers \u2014 and the internet \u2014 more easily. It works by reading aloud text descriptions of everything that appears on the screen, as well as reading any displayed text. The technology also allows users to interact with elements on the screen.<\/p>\n

While VoiceOver is primarily meant for those with visual impairments, it can be helpful in many different scenarios \u2014 for example, if you\u2019re someone who has a learning disability and prefers to listen to text rather than read it. <\/p>\n

Apple has a whole user guide<\/a> that gets into the nitty-gritty of how to use VoiceOver with refreshable braille displays and trackpad gestures, as well as how to customize the feature to best suit your needs (e.g., reading speed, voice profile, enabling screen curtain for privacy, etc.). But if you\u2019re just getting started, here are a few easy ways to turn on VoiceOver. <\/p>\n
