“Making an iPhone for everyone” is Apple’s stated ambition. In this sense, the brand's website dedicated to accessibility was recently redesigned by the firm. This new layout highlights the features available to people with disabilities on an iPhone or iPad a little more.
Because it is very difficult today to live without a smartphone, the Apple brand strives to ensure that its products are as inclusive as possible. In this sense, Apple has just implemented a new feature which further improves VoiceOver, an already very well-known option, and very useful for anyone suffering from a visual impairment. Thanks to screen recognition, now available in the latest version of iOS 14, it is possible for the iPhone to automatically understand which icons are located on the home screen.
The update goes further as it offers the ability to recognize buttons and features on the home screen. Something which was then possible, only if the owner of the phone came to configure all this manually. This will no longer be necessary from now on, the iPhone will learn on its own to better understand the home screen, and it will learn from its mistakes to improve. “Screen recognition is a second step. — after the advent of automatic icon labeling — we can look at the pixels on the screen and identify the hierarchy of objects you can interact with, and all of this happens on the device in tenths of a second." , explained Chris Fleizach, member of the Apple team responsible for the “accessibility” part.
To give an example of what this new feature will bring, it will be able to read the information in a photo, as in the example under the photo below.
