Make Windows easier to see
Windows accessibility can make your text and apps easier to read by adjusting your text size, adding contrast, or even using the built-in magnifying tool.
Navigate Windows with your voice
Features like voice access 1 let you go without a keyboard and write text just by speaking out loud. You can then interact with buttons, icons, menus, windows, and sliders—all without a mouse or keyboard.
Use your PC without a mouse
