# prefersAssistiveTechnologySettings

A Boolean that specifies whether assistive technology settings take precedence over the property values of this utterance.

## Declaration

```swift
var prefersAssistiveTechnologySettings: Bool { get set }
```

## Discussion

Discussion If this property is true, but no assistive technology, such as VoiceOver, is on, the speech synthesizer uses the utterance property values.
