Braille, Verbosity category, VoiceOver Utility on Mac
Use the Braille pane of the Verbosity category in VoiceOver Utility to specify verbosity levels when using a refreshable braille display.
To open VoiceOver Utility, press Command-F5 to turn VoiceOver on, then press VO-F8.
Note: VO represents the VoiceOver modifier.
Option | Description |
|---|---|
Default Braille Verbosity | Click the pop-up menu, then choose the default verbosity level for items on the screen. |
Additional options button | Click the additional options button to display a list of controls for which you can individually set a verbosity level. Click a control’s Verbosity pop-up menu, then choose a verbosity level: Default, Low, Medium, or High. To customize or reorder the information VoiceOver provides (for example, to hear Status first), choose Custom from the control’s Verbosity pop-up menu, then follow the instructions that appear. |
To use the Verbosity rotor to change the default verbosity level while working, press VO-V.
