We build powerful assistive technologies into Mac to give people with physical limitations more ways to be creative and productive. Switch Control lets you navigate what’s on your screen with a single tap. And a range of settings let you adjust interaction sensitivities for an experience that works for you.
Accessibility KeyboardType and navigate hands-free.
You can navigate macOS with minimal use of a physical keyboard. The Accessibility Keyboard is a customizable, onscreen keyboard that gives users with limited mobility advanced typing and navigation capabilities. It now includes support for custom toolbars and improved typing with autocapitalization and better word suggestions. It also supports head-tracking hardware to move the cursor and select or drag onscreen items. And the Accessibility Keyboard has full Dwell support, allowing all of macOS to be used without ever needing to click a mouse button.

SiriStreamline the things you do every day.
Siri helps you do more with your desktop.1 If you prefer to communicate by typing, you can set Siri to “Type to Siri” mode and make requests using a physical or onscreen keyboard. Enter requests to search the web, send messages, locate documents, create reminders, and even turn on and off various accessibility settings using a physical or onscreen keyboard. And you can use predictive typing to help predict the next word based on your typing.
Switch ControlNavigate your Mac with as little as a tap.
Switch Control is a powerful accessibility technology for anyone with extensive physical and motor skill limitations. Built directly into macOS, it gives you the ability to navigate onscreen keyboards, menus, and the Dock using a system commonly referred to as scanning. Create your own custom panels and keyboards, systemwide or app by app, to provide you with the most efficient access to your Mac. You can use a variety of adaptive devices, such as a switch, a joystick, a keyboard space bar, or even a single tap on the Multi-Touch trackpad, for easy control.
Switch ControlUse one device to operate any device.
Switch Control supports Platform Switching, which allows you to use a single device to operate any other devices you have synced with your iCloud account. So you can control your Mac directly from your iPhone or iPad, without having to set up your switches on each new device.2
Sticky KeysPress key combinations, one key at a time.
Sticky Keys combines your keystrokes for you by letting you press keys one at a time, instead of simultaneously, to enter commands. Enter a key combination — such as Command-S (for Save) — and macOS displays each pressed key, accompanied by a sound effect, so you can make sure the right keys are entered.
Slow KeysSet and adjust a delay between keystrokes.
Slow Keys adjusts the sensitivity of the keyboard to process only the keystrokes you mean to make. It builds in a delay between when a key is pressed and when it’s entered. You can adjust the delay and choose to have a sound play when a key is entered.
Mouse KeysMaster your cursor. Without a mouse.
If you have difficulty using a mouse or trackpad, use Mouse Keys to control the cursor with the numeric keypad. Press a number key as the mouse button, and use other number keys to move around the screen or to drag and drop items. Easily navigate menus, the Dock, and all your windows.
Dictation CommandsQuickly edit text just by speaking.
macOS has more than 50 editing and formatting commands. So you can turn on Dictation and tell your Mac to bold a paragraph, delete a sentence, or replace a word. You can also use Automator workflows to create your own Dictation commands.
