May 16. (Portaltic/EP) –

Manzana will incorporate hide tracking to help people use iPhone and iPad together with others accessibility tools that will allow you to feel the music and personalize atypical speech so that Siri understands voice commands.

By the end of the year Three new accessibility features will come to iOS and iPadOS with which Apple will be able to “offer the best possible experience to all users,” serving in this case people who have a physical disability, deafness, or a condition that makes speech difficult.

One of these functions is tracking hidewhich promotes artificial intelligence technology, and makes it easier for people who have a physical disability to navigate the Apple device with eye movement and gestures.

She is joined by music haptic technology so that deaf and hard of hearing people can feel the music with their iPhone. Specifically, it will be compatible with millions of songs from the Apple Music service.

Another novelty is vocal shortcuts, with which iPhone and iPad users will be able to configure custom expressions so that Siri can execute shortcuts. AI helps recognize the user’s speech patterns.

Vocal shortcuts are designed for people who have a condition that makes speaking difficult, such as cerebral palsy, amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS), or stroke.

Additionally, Apple will incorporate into its systems vehicle movement signalsa feature that will help reduce dizziness of users when they are in moving vehicles.

This dizziness, which causes “the sensory conflict between what a person sees and what they feel,” prevents some people from using their phone or tablet when traveling by car or bus, for example. To do this, the screen will show small black dots that, without interfering with the content, will reproduce the changes in the vehicle’s movement.

Apple has also announced voice control in CarPlay and a series of accessibility features for the VisionOS system of its Vision Pro headsets, which will incorporate live subtitles and settings such as Reduce transparency, Smart inversion and Dim flashing lights, as stated on his official blog.
