Description

In this session, attendees will gain an understanding of numerous iPhone tools that use computer vision to provide an enhanced VoiceOver and low-vision user experience. Tap into the power of Image Descriptions, which use machine learning to create a sentence long representation of an image for VoiceOver. Enhance the experience with VoiceOver’s Image Explorer, which provides a deep understanding of an image by surfacing specific information like text blocks and recognized faces. And, for taking photos, Camera provides detailed guidance about subject framing and camera leveling to help VoiceOver users take the perfect photo. Make the most of Magnifier, a feature-rich stand alone app filled with tools to solve many real world problems - from Door Detection, People Detection and newly developed Point and Speak feature, which identifies text on physical objects you point to, like household appliances.
