    Tech needs to be inclusive so that people can scale their limitations and utilize these technological advancements to improve their lives. Enhancing accessibility has been central to Samsung's vision and we often see the company improve these features with every iteration.

    That also holds true for the Galaxy Z Fold 5. As one of Samsung's most powerful devices, it's great to see that accessibility remained an area of focus for the company as it crafted its latest and greatest top-of-the-line foldable smartphone.

    Overview of the Galaxy Z Fold 5's accessibility features

    Live Transcribe is one of the many accessibility features that come with the Galaxy Z Fold 5. This feature instantly recognizes speech and transcribes it as text on the display. The other person can then type their answer on the display itself to have an ongoing conversation.

    The Magnification features also prove to be quite useful, enabling users to make everything look bigger on and outside the screen. It lets users zoom in on a particular area of the screen and even magnify physical content using the rear camera.

    Samsung has also included a TalkBack accessibility feature which provides you with voice feedback for everything that you touch on the screen, enabling you to effectively listen to your touch-based inputs.

    These, and many more accessibility features, are available on the Galaxy Z Fold 5. These particular features can be enabled and disabled through the Accessibility menu in the Settings app.
