- Accessibility Apps. IOS - A wide range of features for a wide range of needs. Intuitive by design, iPhone®, iPad® and iPod touch® also come with assistive features that allow people with disabilities to experience the fun and function of iOS.
- Blind Accessibility Apps. If you are blind, you can communicate in a variety of ways with iOS features. For vision loss, you can use VoiceOver, an advanced screen reader, to get the most from your iOS device.
- When a third-party app tries to access and control your Mac through accessibility features, you receive an alert, and you must specifically grant the app access to your Mac in Security & Privacy preferences. If you’re familiar with an app, you can authorize it by clicking Open System Preferences in the alert, then selecting the checkbox for the app.
- Mar 15, 2017 Some apps, like Dropbox and Steam, will ask to “control this computer using accessibility features.” But what the heck does that even mean? The wording is confusing, to say that least. What does this permission actually grant? Basically, this gives the app in question the ability to control other programs. Apple outlines their advice here.
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 ControlUse 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. Capitalize that.” And your Mac does it.
VoiceOverYou 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 TextGet a quick size boost 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 colors that work best for you.
SiriMake 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 minimize typing over time.
Text to SpeechGo 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.
