Apple’s latest update, iPadOS 18, introduces several new features and improvements that make the iPad more accessible to users with disability.
One notable addition is handwriting recognition and correction, which allows users to take notes and write on their device more efficiently. This feature is particularly helpful for users with dysgraphia or physical disability.
The update also includes a full-screen music player in the Control Center, providing a more immersive listening experience for users. This feature can be particularly beneficial for users who are blind or with low vision.
Improved VoiceOver support is another significant enhancement in iPadOS 18. VoiceOver is a screen reader feature that helps users who are blind or with low vision navigate and interact with their iPad.
The updates make it easier for these users to access and use their device.
Other accessibility features in iPadOS 18 include:
– Customisable home screens, allowing users to personalise their layout and organization
