Most of these features are available on #Android and #iPhone. The last four were recently announced as upcoming updates from #Apple. Live Captions An excellent tool if you like to hear and read simultaneously for better understanding. Sensory Alerts Set reminders and have your device gently vibrate to remind you to do something. You can also set up your device for your screen to flash when you have a reminder. Voice Control You can control your device with your voice if you cannot use your hands. Speak Screen Have your device read everything on the screen to you. If you have trouble reading, you can read along or use this to hear the words. Assistive Access This new feature simplifies apps to make it easier for people to use their mobile devices. Live Speech A fascinating tool for people with aphasia. Live Speech allows users to type what they want to say and have it spoken out loud during phone calls and FaceTime calls, as well as in-person conversations.” Siri Speed You can slow down the speaking rate for the personal assistant, Siri. Siri can read anything on the screen back to you, do internet searches, or help you send a message or make a call. Personal Voice Finally, for people with Primary Progressive Aphasia, a new feature allows a person to record their voice so they can use the recordings to speak for them in the future. ## Stats - **Views:** 0 - **Likes:** 13 - **Shares:** 0 - **Comments:** 0 ## Tags stroke, iphone, aphasia, apple, tablets, android, smartphones --- Copyright (c) Gondola
