Modify the settings on your Samsung Chromebook

Your Chromebook has built-in features to assist with hearing, vision, and motor difficulties. Make your device easier to use by turning on different accessibility features, such as text-to-speech functions and keyboard settings.

Screen reading is available on your Chromebook with the ChromeVox extension. When ChromeVox is enabled, your Chromebook will read aloud items on the screen or on a page, including specific words with Select-to-speak.

Here are additional settings you can adjust for the voice assistant. Select your desired option to turn it on or customize it:

Note: If your Chromebook is in Sleep mode for an extended period of time, it may automatically power off.

Your Chromebook has a few sleep settings that can be customized to your liking. Your device can go to sleep automatically if left idle, or you can manually put it to sleep by closing the lid. These settings are in place by default to help your Chromebook save power.

If the screen on your Chromebook is too difficult for you to see, you can edit the display settings. For example, you can make text, images, and windows appear smaller or larger by changing the resolution.

Note: Disabling the default Sync settings will remove one of the major benefits of the Chrome OS. Any installed extensions, bookmarks, themes, or open tabs will not be backed up if you disable Sync. If your account is deleted or your Chromebook is lost or damaged, you may not be able to recover your settings.

The Sync feature on your Chromebook stores your Chrome browser's settings, bookmarks, and tabs in the cloud. When Sync is enabled, your personal Sync settings are enabled by default, but you can select individual categories or disable sync if you prefer.
