The Bavarian Blind and Visually Impaired eV (CEOS) has invited in Augsburg for all four-yearly national conference. A program of the event here was the ceremony of this year’s inclusion price to Apple Germany GmbH.
Apple received the designed by the sculptor Gerhard Wokurka Prize for his voiceover software that allows blind and visually impaired people, to use Apple devices without additional tools or costs. VoiceOver is integrated into both iOS as well as in OS X and even TVOS, so that the software can support not only owners of an iPhone in the operation, but also for example those who have an iPad, a MacBook or the new Apple TV (4th Gen want to use.).
Smartphones are for the most part controlled by a touch-screen that displays a completely new user interface, depending on the function and invoked App. Since the positions and functions of buttons can not be felt, helping VoiceOver visually impaired and blind people, by the screen reader software will read aloud what is happening on the screen with their fingers.
Also, virtual keyboards, like they are displayed on the iPhone and iPad, can be used thanks to VoiceOver the visually impaired and blind. If the user moves his finger over the letters, the software reads out the selected characters. Alternatively, even system-wide a Braille keyboard are used, the entries allowed in Braille.
