Apple is previewing several new accessibility features coming "later this year". The most important might be video subtitles (captions) that are automatically generated on-device for uncaptioned videos. This includes video content "recorded on iPhone, received from friends and family, or streamed online." This feature is coming to most Apple platforms, including iPhone. Google added a similar feature, called Live Caption, to Android seven years ago. Apple is also enhancing its existing VoiceOver, Magnifier, Voice Control, and Accessibility Reader features with AI, enabling queries that use more natural language, follow-up questions, and more detailed responses. Apple is also adding a new API that will support adding a human interpreter to an ongoing FaceTime video call within a sign language interpretation app.
