Using the iPad is a totally different experience
from using an ordinary computer because you
don’t have a physical keyboard or a mouse to
point to the screen. You may find the touch
interface even easier to use than a traditional
keyboard and mouse. Plus you can use some
built-in features to make your iPad even more
accessible.
The iPad can invert its color scheme so that
text appears in high-contrast white on black
or increase its default text size. Also, your iPad
can make it easy to zoom in on the screen to
quickly enlarge images and text.
The iPad can also use a synthesized voice to
read the various text, buttons, and controls on
the screen. As you slide your fingers over the
screen, your iPad will read whatever your finger
is touching, so you’ll know whether it’s a button
you want to press.
