    Use the Accessibility Keyboard on Mac

    The Accessibility Keyboard is an onscreen keyboard that lets you use your Mac without a physical keyboard. It will let you type by tapping the keys on your touch screen. Note that you need to install a driver to use Touch functionality on Mac devices.

    The Accessibility Keyboard with typing suggestions across the top. Below is a row of buttons for system controls to do things like adjust display brightness and show custom panels.

    Turn the Accessibility Keyboard on or off

    • Turn it on: On your Mac, choose Apple menu  > System Preferences, click Accessibility , click Keyboard, click Viewer, then select Enable Accessibility Keyboard.

       

      You can also turn on the Accessibility Keyboard by clicking the Input menu in the menu bar, then choosing Show Keyboard Viewer. (The Input menu is identified in the menu bar by the Show Emoji & Symbols icon  or, if you set up input sources, a flag.)

    • Turn it off: In the top-left corner of the Accessibility keyboard on your Mac, click the Close button . Or in Keyboard preferences, click Viewer, then deselect Enable Accessibility Keyboard.
