Ease of Access Center mainly includes the following tools:
• Magnifier
Magnifier is a useful utility that enlarges the entire screen or part of the screen so that you can see
the items better.
• Narrator
Narrator is a screen reader that reads aloud what is displayed on the screen and describes events such as
error messages.
• On-Screen Keyboard
If you prefer to type or enter data into your computer using a mouse, joystick, or other pointing device
instead of a physical keyboard, you can use On-Screen Keyboard. On-Screen Keyboard displays a visual
keyboard with all the standard keys.
• High Contrast
High Contrast is a feature that heightens the color contrast of some text and images on your screen. As a
result, those items are more distinct and easier to identify.
• Personalized keyboard
Adjust keyboard settings to make your keyboard easier to use. For example, you can use your keyboard
to control the pointer and type certain key combinations easier.
• Personalized mouse
Adjust mouse settings to make your mouse easier to use. For example, you can change the pointer
appearance and make it easier to manage windows with the mouse.
Speech Recognition
Speech Recognition enables you to control your computer by voice.
Using only your voice, you can start programs, open menus, click objects on the screen, dictate text into
documents, and write and send e-mails. Everything you do with the keyboard and mouse can be done with
only your voice.
To use Speech Recognition, do the following:
1. Depending on your Windows version, do one of the following:
• For Windows 7: Click the Start button to open the Start menu, and then click Control Panel.
• For Windows 8.1: Open Control Panel. See "Accessing Control Panel on the Windows 8.1 operating
system" on page 47.
• For Windows 10: Right-click the Start button to open the Start context menu, and then click Control
Panel.
2. View Control Panel using Large icons or Small icons, and then click Speech Recognition.
3. Follow the instructions on the screen.
