Can anybody recommend an accessible file compare tool for Mac?

macOS and Mac Apps

The subject line pretty much sums up what I am looking for.

The apps I've tested so far all appear to use color to highlight differences between two files.

Does anybody know of a tool which uses a method that's better suited for VoiceOver?

If you're comparing plain text files, you can open a Terminal window and use diff.

MS Word has the ability to compare two Word documents and output the difference as a third file with Track Changes, which are accessible.

Thanks Paul, I'll check out Terminal.

Terminal worked well for my use case, although I copied the results from terminal to a text editor as this made for easier reviewing.
