77Screen reader mode is opt-in. If you use a screen magnifier, reduced motion, or a colorblind-friendly theme instead of a screen reader, set `CLAUDE_CODE_ACCESSIBILITY`, `prefersReducedMotion`, or `theme` from the [Accessibility settings](#accessibility-settings) table. Screen reader mode adapts the terminal interface only, so you don't need it in the VS Code extension's chat panel. On Claude Code v2.1.236 or later, the extension [announces conversation activity to your screen reader](/docs/en/vs-code#use-a-screen-reader) there without any setting.
