# allowsAccessibilityReader

A Boolean value that indicates whether to allow the Accessibility Reader during an assessment.

```
var allowsAccessibilityReader: Bool { get set }
```

## Discussion

Users can enable the Accessibility Reader in the Settings app (Accessibility > Read & Speak > Accessibility Reader) to have text content formatted or read aloud. An assessment session disables the Accessibility Reader by default, but you can allow it by setting [`allowsAccessibilityReader`](/documentation/AutomaticAssessmentConfiguration/AEAssessmentConfiguration/allowsAccessibilityReader) to `true` in the [`AEAssessmentConfiguration`](/documentation/AutomaticAssessmentConfiguration/AEAssessmentConfiguration) instance that you use to initialize a session.
