More about accessibility
To get to the accessibility options, select the up arrow next to the notifications icon, and then select Ease of Access.
Narrator reads what’s displayed on the screen, including the contents of the active window, menu options, and text that’s been typed.
Magnifier enlarges different parts of the screen so they’re easier to see.
High Contrast heightens the color contrast of some text and images on the screen so they’re more distinct and easier to identify.
Other accessibility settings can be changed by going to the Settings app—contact your company's support person for help with this.
-
If you turn on Narrator, Magnifier, or High Contrast, they'll be turned off after you select I'm done to end your session.
-
After you turn on High Contrast, you might need to close some apps and reopen them for the change to take effect.
