## VoiceOver support {#VoiceOver}

Yandex Browser supports the [VoiceOver](https://support.apple.com/) screen access program. It reads out everything that's on the screen. The user controls the process with gestures.

To launch VoiceOver, open the device settings, go to **Accessibility**, and enable the **VoiceOver** option. You can also ask Siri to do this.













## Smart Camera {#smart-camera}

Smart Camera is a camera in Yandex Browser for mobile. It recognizes objects, tells you about them, and shows where you can buy them. It also recognizes text, translates it, and scans documents.


{% cut "Open Smart Camera" %}


You can open Smart Camera in one of the following ways:

- In the Yandex Browser SmartBox, tap ![](../_assets/scan1.png).


- Turn on the [VoiceOver](#VoiceOver) program and follow the voice prompts.


{% endcut %}


Smart Camera operates in different modes. To switch between them, swipe the screen to the right or left.


{% cut "Modes" %}


1. In the **Search** or **Products** mode, point the camera at an object: the voice assistant will recognize the object and tell you more about it. If it's available for purchase, the assistant will also provide information about stores and prices.

1. In the **Search** or **Products** modes, take a photo of the object. Browse the tabs below the image: there, you'll find a detailed info about the object, stores and prices (if it's a product), as well as similar objects and a list of websites featuring them.

1. In the **Translation** mode, point the camera at the text in a foreign language. Wait for the camera to recognize the text and display the translation. Tap ![](../_assets/translate.png) to access the options **Copy text** and **Open in Yandex Translate**.

1. In the **Text** mode, point the camera at the text. If it doesn't fully fit the frame, the assistant will ask you to move the camera in the right direction. Once the Smart camera has fully recognized the text, the voice assistant will read it out loud. You can copy and share the text.


{% endcut %}



## Font size adjustment {#font-size}

If you find it difficult to read small fonts or need to display the screen from a distance, increase the font size. It will make reading easier.

[More about text size](https://yandex.ru/support/browser-mobile-iphone/en/personal-settings/site-appearance.md#scale)


## Dark theme {#dark-mode}

With the dark theme, the app background becomes dark, and the font becomes light. A dark screen reduces eye strain in dim light in the evening or at night.

[More about dark theme](https://yandex.ru/support/browser-mobile-iphone/en/personal-settings/backgrounds.md#theme)


## Mono sound {#monosound}

Usually, one part of an audio track is delivered to the left earphone, and the other to the right. Mono sound combines the two sound channels, and the sound is delivered equally to both earphones. This can be convenient if you want to use only one earphone (e.g., if you have an earache in the other ear).


{% cut "Enable mono sound" %}




1. Open your device settings.



1. Go to **Accessibility**, open the **Hearing** section, and select **Audio & Visual**.

1. Enable the **Mono audio** option.




{% endcut %}



## Contrast adjustment {#contrast}

Contrast makes text brighter and clearer compared to the background. It can be useful for users with poor vision or in bright lighting.


{% cut "Increase contrast" %}




1. Open your device settings.



1. Go to **Accessibility**, open the **Vision** section, and select **Display & Text size**.

1. Enable the **Increase contrast** option.




{% endcut %}


## Subtitles {#subtitles}

Subtitles are useful not only for users with impaired hearing but also for watching videos without sound or in noisy places.

## Easy Read {#clear-language}

Easy Read is an adapted form of the national language tailored for people with cognitive differences or other information processing challenges. It features a smaller set of words and simpler sentence structures 

Yandex Browser for mobile supports simplification of web pages using Easy Read. 

{% note info %}

The feature is available only for pages in Russian.

{% endnote %}

### What it looks like

![](../_assets/clear-mobile.png){.border-yes}

### Enable

By default, Easy Read is disabled in Yandex Browser. To enable it:


1. Select **![](../_assets/settings-menu-icon.svg)** → **Settings** → **Accessibility**.
1. Enable the **"Simplify text using Easy Read" button** option.



### Simplify text using Easy Read


{% list tabs %}

- On a separate page

  Simplify text in one of the following ways:

  * In the [SmartBox](https://yandex.ru/support/browser-mobile-iphone/en/navigation/search.md#smartbox), tap ![](../_assets/clear.svg).
  * In the [SmartBox](https://yandex.ru/support/browser-mobile-iphone/en/navigation/search.md#smartbox), tap ![](../_assets/menu-tibar.svg) → **Easy Read**.

- On all pages


  1. Select **![](../_assets/settings-menu-icon.svg)** → **Settings** → **Accessibility**.
  1. Enable the **Automatically simplify text using Easy Read principles** option.



{% endlist %}

The simplified text may differ in length from the original. It may also include new bold headings.

{% cut "**Sample text simplified using Easy Read**" %}

Original text: "The constellations of the northern hemisphere — Cassiopeia, Cygnus, and Orion — are quite easy to spot in the starry sky".

Simplified text:
"You can see many stars in the night sky.
Stars form groups.
These groups are called constellations.

There are three famous constellations in the northern part of the sky:
- Cassiopeia.
- Cygnus.
- Orion."

{% endcut %}



### FAQ

{% cut "**Why can't some pages be simplified using Easy Read principles?**" %}

When tests are simplified using Easy Read principles, they are divided into smaller segments sent to Alice AI. Very short texts (such as buttons in the site menu) aren't simplified. This helps preserve the site layout, because Easy Read texts are often longer due to additional definitions.

Easy Read doesn't apply to the following site categories:

* Pages where the layout changes significantly after simplification.
* Online text editor pages.
* Some chats.
* Online documents.
* Local documents opened in Yandex Browser.

{% endcut %}

{% cut "**Why does the same definition appear multiple times in the text?**" %}

When tests are simplified using Easy Read principles, they are divided into smaller segments sent to Alice AI. We do this to make sure no important information gets lost. That's why some definitions might appear multiple times in the final text.

{% endcut %}

{% cut "**Why is the term defined incorrectly?**" %}

Artificial intelligence can't replace a human and sometimes makes mistakes. The error rate in the simplification process is low, but something may still go wrong.

{% endcut %}

{% cut "**Why aren't all abbreviations expanded?**" %}

Artificial intelligence can't replace a human and sometimes makes mistakes. The error rate in the simplification process is low, but something may still go wrong.

{% endcut %}

{% cut "**Why is there a delay in text simplification?**" %}

Alice AI needs some time to process the text and replace it with a simplified version. Simplification works similarly to [translation](https://yandex.ru/support/browser-mobile-iphone/en/navigation/translation.md) and starts when the text appears on the screen as you scroll through the page.
