Prepare your audio first
Open Free text, turn voice on and confirm you can hear the chosen voice. In Settings, choose one word at a time and a comfortable speech speed. Use a word target if you prefer no countdown.
Enable Blind mode
In Free text Settings, Blind mode hides the target while working speech is active. Enabling it also enables voice assistance. If speech stops or fails, the text becomes visible again.
Stay in control
Use Enter in the exercise to repeat and spell the current word. Turn off Blind mode to return to visible practice. Take a break whenever listening or typing becomes tiring.
Understand the current limits
Eyes-closed exercise does not establish that the entire application can be used without sight. Full VoiceOver, NVDA and JAWS workflows still need manual verification. Keep the text visible and turn voice off if it conflicts with your screen reader.
