Change your VoiceOver settings on Apple Vision Pro
You can customise the settings for VoiceOver, such as the audio options, voice, speaking rate and verbosity.
Adjust the VoiceOver volume and other audio options

Choose options to have VoiceOver speak hints, punctuation, uppercase letters and embedded links, confirm rotor actions, and more.
To change how VoiceOver speaks punctuation, tap Punctuation, then choose a group. You can also create new groups — for example, a programming group in which “[” is spoken as “left square bracket”.
Customise VoiceOver settings for an activity

Choose Apps or Context to automatically apply the settings for this activity.

Flat: VoiceOver moves sequentially through each item in your view when you use the move next and previous commands (right index pinch and right middle pinch).
Grouped: VoiceOver moves through items and groups of items when you use the move next and previous commands (right index pinch and right middle pinch).
Adjust VoiceOver visuals
