Features for Accessibility on iPads

Tip #1: Accessing Accessibility!

Set up your accessibility features in Settings. Then learn how to access them from the Control Center and a Home Screen shortcut. 

Tip #2: Vision: Display Accommodations

Discover iPad display modifications that can be made to accommodate different vision challenges, including adjustments to fonts, colors, contrast and brightness.

Tip #3: Vision: Using Zoom

The Zoom feature allows screen magnification from 100 to 1500 percent, in a separate window or in full-screen mode. Learn how to use Zoom, and its multiple filter options, so that you better see what is happening on your screen.

Tip #4: Vision: Using Magnifier

Magnifier uses the camera on your iPad to increase the size of whatever you point it at. Then you can use any of the camera features to enhance the vision experience.

Tip #5: Vision: Using Spoken Content

The iPad will read email, messages, web pages, articles and textbooks. Speak Content is helpful to those with visual impairments, reading disorders, or second language learners. Discover how to use Speak Screen for reading a full screen, and Speak Selection for reading selected passages. 

Tip #6: Vision: Using Voice Over

Voice Over allows you to hear everything that happens on your iPad screen, even if you can't see it. Use this feature to open apps, type documents, and even hear descriptions of images in photos. 

Tip #7: Hearing: Create Captions with Clips

Why go to the trouble of retrofitting your videos with captions? Create captions at the same time you record your videos, with Clips. For Clips basics, watch video #5 in the Tips & Tricks series.
