Get started with accessibility features on Mac
macOS includes many accessibility features to support your vision, hearing, and physical motor needs, and more. If you didn’t turn on the features when you set up your Mac, you can do so at any time in Accessibility System Preferences.
On your Mac, choose Apple menu
.Open Accessibility preferences for me
macOS accessibility features are grouped by category in the sidebar of the preference pane:
Vision: Use these features to zoom in on the screen, make the pointer or menu bar bigger, apply color filters, and more. Or have your Mac speak what’s on the screen. See macOS accessibility features for vision.
Hearing: Use these features to show and customize captions on the screen, make and receive Real-Time Text (RTT) calls, and more. See macOS accessibility features for hearing.
Motor: Use these features to control your Mac and apps using spoken commands, the Tab key, an onscreen keyboard, the pointer, or assistive devices. You can also set options that make it easier to use a mouse and trackpad. See macOS accessibility features for mobility.
General: Use these features to easily turn various accessibility features on or off, and to type your Siri requests. See macOS general accessibility features.
