Apple’s iOS operating system includes a number of helpful accessibility features for the hearing and sight impaired.

Step 2

Touch “Accessibility” and select “Large Text.”

Step 3

Choose a large text option that suits your needs by touching it. The iPad supports a font size of up to 56 points.

Step 4

Press the iPad home button to return to the home screen. Open the Notes app to see your new font in action.
