If you need help reading text on a screen, you can turn on accessibility settings for a few Google products in your Google Account.
Turn screen reader on or off
The screen reader setting applies only to Google Docs, Sheets, Slides, Forms, and Drawings on a browser, like Chrome. When you use these products, a screen reader can read text on your screen aloud.
For this setting to work, you need to have a screen reader, like NVDA, JAWS, VoiceOver, or ChromeVox.
- Open your Google Account. You might need to sign in.
- On the left, click Personal info.
- Under "General preferences for the web," click Accessibility.
- Turn Screen reader on or off.
You might need to follow extra steps to set up your screen reader for Google Docs, Sheets, Slides, Forms, and Drawings.
Turn high-contrast colors on or off
The high-contrast colors setting applies only to Google Voice, the Google Developers site, and other developer documentation sites on a browser, like Chrome. On that site, high-contrast colors can help screen text stand out more clearly.
- Open your Google Account. You might need to sign in.
- On the left, click Personal info.
- Under "General preferences for the web," click Accessibility.
- Turn High-contrast colors on or off.
