The Hover Text accessibility feature on macOS enlarges text under the pointer when activated, aiding users with visual impairments. Enabled in System Settings > Accessibility > Display > Hover Text , it displays a magnified text box when hovering over items, with customizable size and activation (e.g., holding Command).
Option A (VoiceOver) narrates screen content but doesn’t enlarge text on hover.
Option B (Zoom) magnifies the entire screen or a portion, not specifically text under the pointer.
Option C (Pointer Control) adjusts pointer behavior, not text size.
Option D (Hover Text) matches the description precisely. Introduced in macOS Mojave and refined by 2025, see Apple’s " Use Hover Text on Mac " (support.apple.com/HT211100).
