VoiceOver
A screen reader that describes what’s on your screen, including in braille.
VoiceOver
For those who are blind or have low vision, VoiceOver is an industry‑leading screen reader that tells you exactly what’s happening on your screen audibly, in braille or both. Easily control and navigate your screen through simple gestures on a touchscreen, trackpad or Bluetooth® keyboard. On Apple Vision Pro, you can control and navigate your device with a combination of gestures using one or both hands. VoiceOver can describe your surroundings in great detail. With Live Recognition, you’ll get descriptions of objects in the real world, such as people, doors, text, and furniture in indoor spaces.1 VoiceOver offers deep customisation options, like modifying your favourite built-in voice for speech feedback and tailoring its verbosity, speed, and accompanying sound and haptic feedback to your preferences.2
