Accessibility Features of an Iphone
Since 2010 and the introduction of the Iphone 4S which came shortly after Apple's acquistion of SIRI. Siri became an integral part of the Iphone. Siri is a Speech Interpretion and Recognition Interface that is a very useful component of the Iphone. This software allows the users to tell the phone what do like call Mom, set up a destination on maps, look up information, etc. All of these features are great for anyone that is in a rush, driving and shouldn't be looking at a phone, and of course those with physical disabilities. My friend K.O. was born with Cerebral Palsy which has caused him to be paralyzed from the waist down. Siri has allowed him to still get around in his wheel chair and communicate with friends, take notes, look up directions, etc. He has bought an Iphone ever since the 4S for the accessibility feature of SIRI.
Iphone also has a feature for the blind. They have a voice over feature that is an advance screenreader that reads aloud what is on the screen. The Iphone operating system also includes Dictation which allows a user to speak and it types for you. This is convenient for those who have disabilities that limit their hand or arm movement.
