Apple Launches Redesigned Accessibility Site and New Support Videos

Apple today is honoring International Day of Persons with Disabilities (https://www.un.org/en/observances/day-of-persons-with-disabilities) with a re-launch of its Accessibility site (https://www.apple.com/accessibility/) and a new collection of tutorial videos highlighting the accessibility features of its software.

As spotted by iMore (http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/TheIphoneBlog/~3/6L46hP7Vr_k/apple-redesigns-its-accessibility-website-and-debuts-new-support-videos), the redesigned site is made up of four broad sections that showcase many of the accessibility features across Apple's product range, with new categories covering vision, mobility, hearing, and cognitive features.





The vision section covers several iOS features such as the Magnifier, Zoom, Larger Text, Voiceover + Braille, and Spoken Content, while the hearing covers using Sound Recognition, Headphone Accommodations, Sensory Alerts, Live Listen, and many more useful tools.





Meanwhile, over on the Apple Support YouTube channel (https://www.youtube.com/c/applesupport), Apple has added new how-to videos to its Accessibility playlist (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DJFBqDlnPGQ&list=PLIl2EzNYri0cLtSlZowttih25VnSvWITu) on using the Magnifier, the BackTap feature, and specific Voice Control usage scenarios, including how to take a selfie.

Apple's Accessibility website (https://www.apple.com/accessibility/) and the Apple Support channel (https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLIl2EzNYri0cLtSlZowttih25VnSvWITu) have more details.





Apple's Accessibility Engineering Lead for iOS Chris Fleizach and Senior Director of Global Accessibility, Policy, and Initiatives Sarah Herrlinger also did an interview (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=v47mD60ertI) with TechCrunch's Matthew Panzarino to discuss the newest accessibility technology from Apple.
