Apple and its ecosystem become more accessible consumer technology

Add to Flipboard Magazine.


The accessibility of technology is something that if you do not live in first person or someone close, do not you stop to think. But also of those things that when you start to scratch the surface, appear very human stories featuring amazing people. People who despite having a lot against are able to overcome all the barriers that are imposed and do the same as a normal person. Those are the stories that I've always liked.

It is these people who Apple has always paid special attention to the design of some accessible products. The commitment of the Cupertino company in making technology reach all noticeable and is something we have been reflected here.

"Overview of Accessibility Features in iOS 7". This video provides a general overview of some of the new features for accessibility in iOS 7. These features are covered in more detail in video channel.

The California company makes efforts to ensure that these technologies come as standard on all their products, for example, in OS X have these accessibility features:

  • As VoiceOver screen reader. 
  • Zoom up to 20x on screen elements. 
  • Dictation to write instead of talking. 
  • Invert Colors. 
  • Screen flicker when playing Alert.

iOS And we have these other accessibility incorporated some of OS X, including: 
  • From iOS 7 can control your phone with our head gestures. 
  • Siri is gaining more and more features, you can review them all at this link. 
  • VoiceOver, dictation, zoom and invert colors. 
  • Visual alerts with flash and custom vibration. 
And this kind of facilities to carry blind people like Stevie Wonder praise at the time VoiceOver improvements of saying that "there is nothing you can do with an iPhone or an iPad that I can not". Or blind anonymous as Tomy Edison VoiceOver and use the combo to use Siri Twitter, Youtube and any other app.

Provide accessibility solutions is easier than ever for developers of third-party companies and accessories. I truly believe that this does not matter to him that Apple copied over the competition.
