Apple Intelligence will power new accessibility features across Apple devices later this year. VoiceOver will use the device camera to provide fuller descriptions of surroundings or scanned documents, with users able to press the iPhone Action button to ask what is in the camera viewfinder and then ask follow-up questions in their own words. Voice Control will understand more natural requests, reducing reliance on memorized commands, such as tapping items described by color or topic. Captions will be generated automatically for uncaptioned videos, including user-recorded clips, videos received from others, and streamed content. Subtitles will be generated privately, and Vision Pro wheelchair controls will also be upgraded.
"Soon, VoiceOver will use a device camera to provide fuller descriptions of a user's surroundings or a scanned document. Users will be able to press the Action button on iPhone to ask what is in the camera viewfinder, then ask follow-up questions in their own words."
"Voice Control is due for a similar upgrade. Users will not have to depend as heavily on memorized commands. A person could say "tap the purple folder" or "tap the guide about best restaurants," and the device would understand the request as a voice command on iPhone or iPad."
"Captions are also coming to videos that people record themselves, not just the shows and clips they stream. Generated subtitles will appear automatically for uncaptioned videos, including clips recorded on iPhone, videos received from friends and family, and streamed content. Subtitles will be generated privately."
"The updates will use Apple Intelligence to make core accessibility features more descriptive and easier to control across its platforms. Sarah Herrlinger, Apple's senior director of Global Accessibility Policy and Initiatives, said the features bring "new, intuitive options for input, exploration, and personalization" while protecting user privacy."
