I think it comes with a magnifier setting.

Scanning

 

Like y'all, I got a Chromebook for accessibility testing, but it appears
they they confined accessibility to the totally blind.  It is an amazing
netbook, but there is nothing for people with physical disabilities; no
sticky keys no global speech recognition, nothing... Am I missing something?

Hi Daria,

I'll be brief here.  I also just received my Chromebook.  It comes with not
enough information about how to make it work!

You turn on your Chromebook by opening it up, if it's a Samsung like mine
anyway.  It doesn't come with Accessibility features enabled, so the first
thing you should do is press Control+Alt+z, and wait for the voice to say
"Accessibility Enabled."

On your Braille pages is  a link to the ChromeVox User's Guide online.  I
used my regular computer to bring that up.  I'm now online and reading mail
there, though I switched back to my usual computer to write back!

Hope this helpes!
Sandi
