Voice Over
Inclusive Ideas
Edition 63, June 2021
Voice over is an industry-leading screen reader that describes exactly what’s happening on your device. Auditory descriptions of onscreen elements help you easily navigate your screen through a Bluetooth keyboard or simple gestures on a touchscreen or trackpad. And with unique rotor gestures that function like a dial on the trackpad, you can make content such as websites a breeze to browse.
VoiceOver also gives descriptions in braille and makes working in braille easier and more efficient. You can use a refreshable braille display connected via Bluetooth to your Apple device or enter braille directly on the touchscreen using Braille Screen Input. Braille is automatically converted to text in an onscreen panel display on Mac so sighted people can follow along with VoiceOver descriptions. And with over 70 refreshable braille displays compatible with iOS and iPadOS, and over 100 with macOS, you can find the right braille experience for you.
