Get started with accessibility features on iPad
Customise iPad in ways that work best for you with features for vision, hearing, mobility, speech, and cognitive accessibility—whether you need them temporarily or on an ongoing basis.
You can turn on accessibility features when you set up your iPad for the first time, or at any time in Settings > Accessibility.

Vision
Vision
Use the built-in screen reader to hear what’s on the screen and navigate iPad with gestures. Or make text bigger, zoom in on the screen, adjust display colors, and more.
You can even use your iPad as a magnifying glass, and hold it up to get descriptions of your surroundings
Mobility
Mobility
Navigate and perform actions on iPad using just your eyes or spoken commands. Or connect an assistive device or an external keyboard and use it to control iPad.
You can also make it easier to use gestures and set other options so iPad responds best to your touch.
Hearing
Hearing
Get real-time captioning of spoken audio from an app or live conversation, turn on flash notifications, have iPad recognize sounds, and more.
You can also pair hearing devices with your iPad, and adjust headphone audio so it’s right for you.
Speech
Speech
Create a custom voice that sounds like you, or choose one of dozens of system voices, then use it to have what you type spoken out loud.
You can also have Siri recognize a wider range of speech patterns, or teach iPad to perform an action when you speak a word or sound of your choosing.
Cognitive
Cognitive
iPadOS accessibility features can help you—or someone you care for—use iPad with greater independence. You can set up an iPad with a simplified interface for someone with a cognitive disability, or temporarily lock iPad to one app when you let a child use it.
