Apple has released a bevy of new accessibility features for iPhone, Apple Watch and Mac, including a universal live captioning tool, improved visual and auditory detection modes, and iOS access to WatchOS apps. The new capabilities will arrive “later this year” as updates roll out to various platforms.
The most widely applicable tool is probably live captioning, already very popular with tools like Ava, which recently raised $10 million (and was first introduced at TravelAbility’s Launchpad pitch fest in 2019) to expand its repertoire.
Apple’s renewed commitment to accessibility will allow a greater number of disabled people to access the digital environment more easily (and the physical one as well).
