Intro to working with text with VoiceOver on Mac
There are several ways you can navigate text.
Read text: VoiceOver provides many ways to read text—by line, paragraph, word, sentence, and more. See Use VoiceOver to read text.
Select text: You can select text using standard macOS keyboard shortcuts, VoiceOver gestures, or Quick Nav. See Use VoiceOver to select text.
Scroll to content: You can scroll to content using a VoiceOver command or VoiceOver gestures. See Use VoiceOver to scroll to content.
Hear what you type: VoiceOver can speak what you’re typing (known as a typing echo). See Use VoiceOver to hear what you type on Mac.
Adjust the verbosity: When reading or editing text, VoiceOver can indicate punctuation, repeated spaces, leading indentation, and other text attributes—like bold and italic text. See Use VoiceOver to adjust the verbosity while navigating text.
Learn about spelling and text formatting issues: You can have VoiceOver complete partial words, use automatic spelling correction, use the Text Checker, and find other formatting issues. See Use VoiceOver to find spelling and text formatting issues.
