Apple has launched new features on its devices, commemorating World Accessibility Awareness Day. \"With these new features, we\u2019re pushing the boundaries of innovation with next-generation technologies that bring the fun and function of Apple technology to even more people \u2013 and we can\u2019t wait to share them with our users,\" explained Sarah Herrlinger director of of Global Accessibility Policy and Initiatives at Apple.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t

One of the new features and the only one that has been launched, SignTime, allows users to communicate with AppleCare services through American Sign Language. Initially it only includes American Sign Language, but they are looking to add British and French Sign Language.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t

The new features announced will be added later this year, according to a statement from the US company.<\/p>

For example, AssistiveTouch, is a tool that uses the gyroscope and accelerometer sensors built into the smartwatch, to detect subtle muscle movements that will allow access to notifications, answer calls, or navigate through gestures.<\/p>

Another upcoming addition responds to the needs of the visually impaired. Through VoiceOver users will be able to explore images while detailed descriptions of each picture are provided through panels.<\/p>

Still in development is the MFi program that will allow hearing-impaired users to upload their most recent audiogram results to automatically configure the device's sound settings.<\/p>

The US has a significant population of 61 million adults with disabilities. Accessibility should be for everyone regardless of whether they live with a disability. Digital accessibility can be solved with actions and updates made by technology companies within their devices, as in this case.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t

El 20 de mayo se celebr\u00f3 el D\u00eda Mundial de Concientizaci\u00f3n sobre la Accesibilidad y Apple, lanz\u00f3 un paquete de nuevas funciones de software en sus sistemas operativos, orientados para personas con discapacidades cognitivas, auditivas, visuales y de movilidad. Apple ha lanzado nuevas funciones en sus dispositivos, conmemorando el D\u00eda Mundial de Concientizaci\u00f3n sobre Accesibilidad. \u201cCon estas nuevas funciones, estamos ampliando los l\u00edmites de la innovaci\u00f3n con tecnolog\u00edas de pr\u00f3xima generaci\u00f3n que llevan la diversi\u00f3n y la funci\u00f3n de la tecnolog\u00eda de Apple a m\u00e1s personas, y estamos ansiosos por compartirlas con nuestros usuarios\u201d, explic\u00f3 Sarah Herrlinger directora de Pol\u00edtica e Iniciativas de Accesibilidad Global de Apple. Una de las nuevas funciones y la \u00fanica que ha sido lanzada, SignTime, permite que usuarios se comuniquen con los servicios de AppleCare a trav\u00e9s de lenguaje de se\u00f1as estadounidense. Inicialmente solo incluye este lenguaje, pero buscan agregar el lenguaje de se\u00f1as brit\u00e1nico y el franc\u00e9s. Las nuevas funciones anunciadas, ser\u00e1n a\u00f1adidas a finales de este a\u00f1o, seg\u00fan explic\u00f3 la compa\u00f1\u00eda norteamericana en un comunicado. Por ejemplo, AssistiveTouch, es una herramienta que utiliza los sensores de giroscopio y aceler\u00f3metro integrados en el reloj inteligente, para detectar movimientos musculares de sutiles que permitir\u00e1n acceder a notificaciones, responder llamadas, o navegar a trav\u00e9s de gestos. Otra de las pr\u00f3ximas adiciones, responde a las necesidades de las personas con discapacidad visual, a trav\u00e9s de VoiceOver los usuarios podr\u00e1n explorar im\u00e1genes mientras se brindan descripciones detalladas de cada fotograf\u00eda a trav\u00e9s de paneles. A\u00fan en desarrollo se encuentra el programa MFi que permitir\u00e1 que usuarios con problemas de audici\u00f3n carguen sus resultados de audiogramas m\u00e1s recientes para configurar autom\u00e1ticamente los ajustes de sonidos del dispositivo. Estados Unidos cuenta con una importante poblaci\u00f3n de 61 millones de adultos con discapacidad. La accesibilidad debe contemplar a cualquier persona sin importar si vive con alguna discapacidad. La accesibilidad digital, puede resolverse con acciones y actualizaciones realizadas por compa\u00f1\u00edas tecnol\u00f3gicas dentro de sus dispositivos, como en este caso.
