How To Enable VoiceOver Screen Narration on macOS Big Sur [Tutorial]
Every Mac is built with assistive technologies to support people who are blind or have low vision. The VoiceOver screen reader describes exactly what’s happening on your screen. Hover Text lets you instantly magnify a selection of text. And Display Accommodations support color blindness and other vision needs.
Mac’s built-in VoiceOver app is able to read text on web pages and documents aloud, which empowers those who are visually impaired (for example) to browse the internet without having to use their eyes for reading or navigating.
But sometimes the VoiceOver utility could be turned on by mistake, which might become an issue. Hearing a narrator read out each word as you scan through various webpages can be annoying if you don’t need it. Let’s review a few simple ways to turn off VoiceOver with a keyboard shortcut and how to turn off voice over in general using System Preferences on your Mac.
