Some visitors benefit from stronger visual indicators, while others prefer an audible response to an action. Highlight Links, Big Cursor, and Acoustic Signals support these different preferences.
The controls are independent. You do not need to enable all three.
Highlight Links
Open Settings and select Highlight Links. The widget adds visual emphasis to links on the page so they are easier to identify among surrounding text.
This can help on an information page where links are otherwise difficult to distinguish from ordinary words. It does not change a link's destination or make an unclear link label more descriptive.
Select the setting again to remove the additional highlighting.
Big Cursor
Select Big Cursor to cycle through three larger pointer sizes and back to the original pointer.
A larger pointer can make it easier to locate the mouse position on a busy page. It does not enlarge the area in which a button responds to a click, so continue aiming at the actual control.
This setting is intended for pointer use and is hidden in the default mobile widget. It does not change the operating system's cursor across other applications.
Acoustic Signals
Select Acoustic Signals to enable audible feedback for supported button and link clicks. Enabling the feature also requests a spoken announcement of the page title, or a fallback heading where available.
Sound feedback can help confirm that an interaction was detected. It is not confirmation that a form was successfully submitted or a payment completed. Read the website's result message for that information.
The browser's sound permissions, mute state, and device volume can affect what you hear. Not every custom control or embedded component will produce the same feedback.
Select the control again to disable the feature.
Example combination
A visitor who frequently loses track of the pointer could enable Big Cursor and Highlight Links. They can then try Acoustic Signals if sound is useful, or leave it off if they prefer a quiet experience.
Acoustic Signals and Read Aloud
Acoustic Signals primarily provides interaction cues and the title announcement. Read Aloud provides controls for listening to page content. Turning on one should not be treated as the full workflow for the other.
See Listening to Content with Read Aloud for spoken reading and Using Keyboard Shortcuts for keyboard access to selected widget actions.
