A new section called Accessibility Nutrition Labels is introduced on App Store’s product pages. There, users get an overview of what access features an app supports – such as voiceover, voice control, larger text, contrast settings, reduced movement, subtitles and more. Developers can receive guidance on what criteria are required to show the information.
Magnors for Mac
Apple also releases the magnifying Mac, a feature that has previously been on the iPhone and iPad. It allows users with impaired vision to zoom in on physical objects using the computer’s camera or continuity camera from the iPhone. The function supports several windows and different display modes where the user can adjust light, contrast, color filter and perspective. Images can be saved for later use.
Braille Access – Notes and Calculations in Braille
Braille Access makes it possible to use iPhone, iPad and Mac as a full -fledged point display tool. Users can open apps via Braille, write notes and make calculations with Nemeth Braille, and read BRF files directly. Live captions are integrated and shows real -time subtitles in Braille.
Accessibility Reader
Accessibility Reader is a new reading position that can be activated system -wide to make text easier to read. The function offers adjustable fonts, paint, line spacing and support for reading. It can also be used in the magnifyer to interpret physical text from, for example, books and menus.
Apple
Users with hearing loss also have the opportunity to use the live list on Apple Watch. The feature makes it possible to see real -time subtitles from an active sound session on iPhone directly on the clock. Apple Watch also acts as a remote control to start or pause live list.
