Are you an accessibility user? Which iOS 18 feature are you looking forward to the most?

[@david_bopit_music11]

Also, I’m hoping that will make my iPad seventh generation perform my better with the scrolling texture when I swipe a lot very fast on my iPad with voiceover because with 17 updates is very laggy and buggy and keeps pushing me up to the beginning and then sometimes if I swipe the opposite trying to go up, it will push me down

[@david_bopit_music11]

Thanks for the awesome report for voiceover

[@Hanatsuki27]

Eye tracking and vocal shortcuts for sure!

@@Hanatsuki27 to be honest, Stephanie and that’s actually not a bad idea but for me, I am most looking forward to new voices with voiceover with iPadOS and iOS 18.0

The eye tracking is going to be so useful when you want to use your device while eating and you’re using both hands to eat!

[@DavanteWilson-dc4wi]

It's basically air commands from early Samsung features, but I'm glad to see Apple innovating, especially with circle to search on Android.

[@sethsdoodles]

Or just take a break and enjoy your food

[@weston407]

I'm by no means an Android person but I did have a Galaxy S4 many years ago and they tried to do this back then - the tech sucked though, I'm sure it's going to be a lot better now

[@PurushNahiMahaPurush]

@@DavanteWilson-dc4wiyea Samsung did it years ago but where is it now? It sucked ass back then and was a battery hog. It’s very typical of Samsung to release half baked features only to claim that they did it first. To me it doesn’t matter who does it first. It matters to me how they do it. Apple’s implementations generally tend to be more thought out or unique.

[@musicalmaycie]

I love that you did a video covering all of the new accessibility features that will be coming in iOS eighteen! I am blind, and I use VoiceOver on my iPhone, as well as the Braille Screen Input keyboard to type text on my phone. I'm very excited to see how Apple will improve the editing experience using BSI. Oh, and I'm excited to see what new VoiceOver voices will be available in iOS eighteen :)

[@RodneyGracia]

I know. Very strange wording on that section. ANYONE can use accessibility features. If you work daily making accessibility features, you know, they are designed for anyone who wants to enhance their experience or benefit from them. You certainly do not need a disability in order to be allowed to use them.

[@InimitaPaul]

@@RodneyGracia I was just making a joke mate, what Brandon was actually saying was the features are first and foremost designed to be used by those who need them and not to expect them to work perfectly if those who don’t “need” them use them. He was saying temper your expectations. 👍🏻

[@RodneyGracia]

@@InimitaPaul I understand that mate.

[@overland_adventure_nz]

Awesome, I have a severe traumatic Brain Injury and have difficulty doing speech to text because of my Brain Injury cannot pronounce words correctly most of the time and I feel I need something that learns my speech to be able to do this. And smarter being able to read the text would also help very much but sometimes I don’t understand what it’s saying and I have to try my best to read the words . Still alive trying to live life to the max when I still can .

I’m usually a lurker on here, but I subscribe to long time ago. Huge respects for going over the Accessibility features for some of us who actually use them. Thank you and keep it up.

[@dl273]

I love the Alex voice! But I'm still looking forward to exploring the new voices iOS 18 will bring. Voiceover exclusively iPhone 12 mini

[@tbg07]

Especially on macos, apple has a lot to answer with horrible bugs like safari does not respond when browsing the web that has been there for many years now. If they don't correct existing bugs I'll be calling out for marketing shit for public eyes. The ability to customize keyboard shortcuts is most welcome on mac though criminally late and we're yet to see the screen recognition introduced in ios 14 or so ported to mac.

[@techwithtyler20]

Acapela voices, like those on my Victor Reader Trek talking GPS/book player, are missing. I wonder if those are some of the new voices!

[@Hanatsuki27]

I switched from android to apple a few years ago with the 13 pro and had been loving it! As someone with a disability, the brand is well known for its accessibility features, which also intringued me and solidified my phone choice. I am very excited for these new features!

I am very happy to hear of the new VoiceOver and braille features, particularly being able to assign keyboard shortcuts on the mac. VoiceOver saw one of its worst times this year with IOS 17 and MacOS Sonoma, so many bugs and most remain in the latest versions, even ones dating back to beta 1.
