PPLE WANTS AS many people as possible to use macOS, which is why it’s packed out with ultra–useful accessibility features aimed at anyone who would otherwise struggle to interact with its operating system. Over the years, there have been many helpful additions from Voice Control to advanced Zoom, and now, with the release of macOS Sequoia, there are more features than ever before.

Sequoia also lets you use Hover Typing so you can see whatever you’re typing as large text, and it enables you to choose custom font sizes for even more of Apple’s own apps.
