Apple’s adding AI-generated subtitling for any video.
Apple’s annual update about accessibility features on its platforms has new additions for the iPhone, Mac, and especially Vision Pro, with a focus on how on-device AI processing is being used in features like VoiceOver, Magnifier, Voice Control, and Accessibility Reader.
One addition that jumped out to me is the ability to use on-device speech recognition for uncaptioned videos, which will be available on iPhone, iPad, Mac, Apple TV, and Apple Vision Pro.
The Vision Pro will be able to link its eye-tracking system to power wheelchair drive systems, including Tolt and LUCI in the US, and have support for connecting via Bluetooth or hardwired with the Developer Strap. It’s also getting Vehicle Motion Cues to reduce motion sickness for anyone putting on Apple’s $3,499 headset in a moving vehicle. For the other changes, like Larger Text support on tvOS and a new API for bringing sign language interpreters into FaceTime calls, read through the full press release .
