DISABILITY SCOOP: Apple To Roll Out New Accessibility Features
Apple announced a range of new capabilities aimed at making life easier for people with disabilities including an option to control a phone or tablet using only a person’s eyes. Other features include Vocal Shortcuts which allows users to tell Siri to launch shortcuts or complete various tasks using custom sounds and Listen for Atypical Speech which uses machine learning to understand a wider range of speech patterns. Live captioning is also being added to FaceTime and other apps.
