Accessibility got a big update in iOS 13 and macOS Catalina. We mentioned an aspect of this update in a previous article -this linkThe update is not only dependent on the ability to use the mouse or rearrange, but most of all, it is giving users the ability to fully control their devices using only their voices. Is it possible for the user to dispense with his hands and rely on his voice only to manage every small and large detail even the smallest details on the screen in front of him without complication? Does this feature work with all applications? Follow us
Apple at the 2019 developer conference showed a person with special needs named Ian Mackay in a wheelchair coordinating a trip with a friend, using the new voice control feature, issuing commands to the Mac, and everything said was handled without much delay. The same applies to iOS 13 without touching the devices, which some considered incredibly amazing. Watch the video:
Instead of using MacKay a few clicks of the mouse or buying dedicated devices for controlling by tongue with these devices, Apple has provided the new macOS and iOS system that prevents him from all of that. Here, the splendor of updating this feature, through which you can control the Mac, iPhone or iPad with the same level of accuracy as using the mouse.
The truth is that the new voice control feature is completely different from the previous one in the current and old systems that were neglected and Apple did not pay much attention.
Voice control over devices has become commonplace, Windows 10 has its own voice control system, but it needs more settings than the Mac system, but it works well. Also, Google will release a new version of the Android system that supports a similar feature. On a larger scale, the rise of smart home gadgets and virtual assistants has made the idea of talking to machines more accepted. Whether it is about bringing more people to use the products or because of the need for convenience and simplicity of use and not being the monopoly of one group without the other, therefore, controlling devices through sound will be more common.
Features like improved voice control are, without a doubt, great for people like Ian with mobility impairments that make traditional use of computers and smartphones difficult. Priyanka Josh, Director of External Affairs at the National Disability Organization, said: “Whether you have mobility impairments or your hands are completely busy, the Voice Access Control feature has made the lives of all device users easier, and it's great to see Apple advance in this area. As technology continues to remove barriers to social contact and productivity, it must also remove barriers to employment. ”
How does voice control work
The way Voice Control works is simple: if you are using an iOS device, and you have the feature enabled, you will see a small blue microphone that lights up when listening to voice commands (set by default to listen to voice commands all the time unless you prevent the device from recording when you are not looking at the screen). On the Mac, a small window will appear for you to confirm that your computer can hear you, and you only have to say the commands clearly so that the device can properly understand and execute them.
Then voice control is done even in the finer details of everything. Apple says that this feature is based on artificial intelligence and the basic algorithms that run Siri, so it is sufficient to perform various actions such as launching applications, converting your voice to text, and much more.
The voice control is smart enough to recognize whatever items in the menu are, so you can say “click next” to accept the application's terms of service, for example. Also, you can tell the voice control to "show numbers", at which point a number is attached to every item on the screen and you can interact with those elements by simply speaking the number.
Rather, the matter goes deeper than that, and if it happens that the voice control is unable to respond or choose the item you want, you can ask it to display a grid of squares on the screen, then every part of this grid will be marked with a number, then in this case you can say the number, And interact with the desired element. With voice control, your voice will reach everything.
The only limitation of the Voice Control feature is the time required to get used to building your favorite command lines. In the demo video, most of the commands are handled without any problems, but it takes some time to get used to using the lengthy strings and strings required to complete a task, but with time everything will be much easier.
Precautions for using voice control
There are some potential caveats that you should bear in mind. Like the effect of using voice control on battery life, until now, Apple hasn't mentioned anything specific about it.
Not working with all applications. But the developers promise that they will keep accessibility in mind and especially the new Voice Control feature while building their apps. All the onscreen elements for their apps will be properly marked in their code, so they can be handled well. This indicates that it is possible that there are applications that have deficiencies and the Voice Control feature will not work as well as it should, so we cannot measure the success or failure of that feature on those applications.

See this feature, my eyes teared up When seeing the video
The video is very impressive, effective for the sighted, and useful for the blind. We would like to publish it on the iPhone Islam site, but unfortunately its quality is very low, and the presence of a watermark above on the right makes the video not be published. If you can contact the owner of the video to make a complete professional video like this one, we will be happy to publish it on our website. May Allah reward you well.
Thank you for this nice topic
Why do you not answer him, the head of the department
Guys, I downloaded ios13 in two dimensions. I saw it in a two-dimensional problem. I went back to ios12. Now, I have the communications network. You write your numbers.
As for people with special needs, there is no difference between them and the healthy at all. They have the right to use all the privileges that the average user can do with his hands. God Almighty has not only prevented a person from the ability and only, but also gives him other times that are better than the abilities of the ordinary person and the tools that make it easier for people with special needs their tasks are His duty as a service to the Apple community has a long reputation in this aspect. I think that its devices were among the first devices that served them and provided them with facilities. It is not surprising that I saw many and many people with special needs mainly use Apple products and not the products of other companies because they know that they provide them with what they want if it is The average user finds huge facilities like Siri, for example, without needing to use anything but words, so I don't mind the effect of such services on people with needs. I have a friend among them, and I actually see him every day using his iPhone freely. I never saw him press the screen and he was performing his tasks very normally. I asked him how difficult it was. Using a touch device while you are unable to move, he said a word that affected me, “When you want to do an action that you talk yourself out first, I will do that. The word is a primary and verbal expression and shudder What can you do with your body? How much has a word changed mankind? "
Like me, I am blind and uncle I use the iPhone professionally and easily and I can do anything and communicate on social media applications, call and send messages and everything like a person who is not blind, uses a phone I use the phone like it even in applications in the store through the camera knows what I see In front of you of colors, animals, or papers written on it, or nature in short, through the camera, this is the eye that we use and in applications to find out what is inside the image of text or graphics and utter it to us 😘 and applications for extracting images from the video or modifying the video. A sound clip of countless things we can do. We are blind, and the system that was used by its name VoiceOver is in the settings. It comes with the device.
My friend Hamza, you are a wonderful person. You have used technology to serve you properly. I really agree with you that technical development has made it easier for us, and creativity in itself is your ability to exploit all of that while helping you to perform everything you want, may God bless you and protect you from all harm.
Amen, O Lord, greet you, you are the most wonderful, may God make you happy, my brother
Wonderful splendor wonderful 👍
By the way, guys
You see the feature stolen from Android
I thought that Apple was the first to issue it
But after searching, I found a YouTube clip explaining the technology on an Android phone
Exactly the same feature
I downloaded the new ios13 system
And it's being tried
The first thing I noticed was the speed of unlocking the phone
With face id, as if the phone is unlocked
Just hold the phone and raise the curtain 🙂
Hello brother, I have 13 slats and the latest iosXNUMX when I have the battery from XNUMX and it decreased to XNUMX, and when it became XNUMX slats, Juan
No, brother, why did you download the new update? There are many problems and errors. After that, the update was not completed. Some people had problems and their devices were broken. 🤔 It is better to wait until the full official update is released. Brother, this is a trial update. Some people regretted that they updated and formatted the device and returned to the old version, iOS 12.
I downloaded the second trial version and meant it was released three days ago, it is working fine
With the exception of minor problems that can be overcome
About her or her elusiveness 🙂
I downloaded the latest version of iOS13
beta 2 second version
It works well except for some lapses
That can be overlooked or coexisted
With her waiting for beta3
Overall battery consumption
In this version it is completely normal
As version 12 on the XS Max
How can I go back to 12? Please give me a link.
Nice feature, but we are waiting for the official update to try it
Only English supported
By God, Tim Cook descended upon us, indignation with the features, have mercy on us. We cannot comprehend these features. The mind cannot bear 😂😂
????????????
God willing, what is this version of features that download like rain? More than 200 features are not hidden features that the user must reveal
Does the feature support the Arabic language ??
The feature of dividing the screen into numbers
And he asked to control every part of it
By looking at the number assigned to it
It is considered a new and revolutionary technology from
Apple 🙂
Ok, do voice commands work in Arabic or we will not benefit from them
The important thing is, I know, answer the caller without touching him, because it is very important
A great feature that benefits everyone
Thank you
