This video demonstrates how to access and configure accessibility settings in Windows 11. Learn about vision, audio, and interaction options to customize your device for a better experience.
Windows 11 includes familiar assistive technologies such as narrator, magnifier, closed captions, and Windows speech recognition. The software will also support technologies from third-party partners. To find accessibility options in Windows 11, click on the Windows “Start” button and open “Settings”. Click on “Accessibility”, where you’ll find a list of choices you can use to enhance your experience. There are eight vision options.
“Text size” adjusts the size of the text across all apps. “Visual effects” adjusts the scroll bar sizes, window transparency, animation, and notifications. “Mouse pointer and touch” adjusts the pointer size. “Text cursor” changes the appearance and thickness of the texting cursor. “Magnifier” helps with reading. “Color filters” contain color-blindness filters and grayscale options. “Contrast themes” have color themes for low vision and light sensitivity. And finally, in “Narrator”, you can adjust the voice, verbosity and keyboard.
In the “Audio” section, you can adjust audio output settings like mono and stereo, as well as captions. The “Interaction” adjustments in Windows 11 include “Speech”, “Keyboard”, “Mouse” and “Eye control”. “Speech” helps set up Windows 11 for speech recognition and voice typing. “Keyboard” options are for the keys, the on-screen keyboard, and keyboard shortcuts.
In “Mouse”, you can configure the mouse keys, and “Eye control” has eye-tracker and text-to-speech options. If you have any questions about accessibility settings, contact us via one of the options on our support website.
