This is integrated with Accessibility Reader, so you can use your <a href=\"https:\/\/www.wired.com\/gallery\/iphone-buying-guide\/\">iPhone<\/a> camera to zoom in on a distant whiteboard or sign and magnify it on your MacBook screen, tweak contrast and colors to make it more legible, or extract the text into your preferred format.<\/p>\n<p class=\"paywall\">For <a href=\"https:\/\/www.wired.com\/story\/smartphone-features-deaf-hard-of-hearing\/\" target=\"_blank\">deaf and hard-of-hearing<\/a> people, Apple has beefed up Live Listen by adding Live Captions support and extending it to the Apple Watch. You can use your iPhone\u2019s microphone to boost audio for AirPods or hearing aids with Live Listen, but with Live Captions, you can get instant transcription on your wrist. The <a href=\"https:\/\/www.wired.com\/gallery\/best-apple-watch\/\">Apple Watch<\/a> can also serve as a remote control for capture, so you can leave your iPhone close to the speaker (ideal for a meeting, classroom, or lecture hall). You can also rewind if you missed something and review the transcript later.<\/p>\n<p class=\"paywall\">Other noteworthy additions include Braille Access, which turns your Apple device (iPhone, iPad, Mac, or Vision Pro) into a braille note taker, enhanced eye and head tracking for iPhone and iPad, plus new Accessibility Nutrition Labels in the App Store, which will allow people to see at a glance what accessibility features an app or game supports.

The company is expanding that integration, so you can now ask questions about those images, perhaps the material of a pictured dress or learning the make and model of a car. Google is also relying on AI to enhance its <a href=\"https:\/\/www.wired.com\/story\/android-pixel-december-2024-software-updates\/\">Expressive Captions<\/a> to convey more emotion and tone.<\/p>\n<p class=\"paywall\">Improvements to the Chrome browser enable you to use your screen reader to interact with PDFs to read, highlight, search, and copy text just as you would with any other page. <a href=\"https:\/\/support.google.com\/accessibility\/android\/answer\/13532420?hl=en\" target=\"_blank\">Page Zoom<\/a> has also been improved for Chrome on Android, so you can increase text size without affecting the webpage layout and customize your preferred zoom levels for different pages, bringing it into line with Chrome on desktop.<\/p>\n<p class=\"paywall\">For students using Chromebooks in the classroom, Google has enabled hands-free navigation with <a href=\"https:\/\/support.google.com\/chromebook\/answer\/15824371?hl=en\" target=\"_blank\">Face control<\/a>, which uses the webcam to track facial movements. The <a href=\"https:\/\/support.google.com\/accessibility\/answer\/10129654\" target=\"_blank\">caret browsing<\/a> setting enables folks with visual impairment to navigate and interact with web pages using a keyboard instead of a mouse. <a href=\"https:\/\/support.google.com\/accessibility\/answer\/7031755\" target=\"_blank\">ChromeVox<\/a> is a built-in screen reader that can read onscreen text aloud and will soon be able to output audio captions in braille when the Chromebook is connected to a braille display. Chrome also now features more natural-sounding voices for text-to-speech.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Global Accessibility Awareness Day was Thursday, so it&#8217;s fitting that both Apple and Google have announced a raft of new accessibility features for their devices this week, all slated to land in the coming year.
