\nApple has announced that it would be rolling out a couple of accessibility features on its Apple Watch and iPad for people with mobility, vision, hearing, and cognitive disabilities. The features that were announced will be rolled out later this year. The Apple Watch will receive interesting updates this year which will help people with limb differences to navigate the watch easily. Apple has announced AssistiveTouch for Apple Watch which will help people with limb disabilities. Similarly, Apple announced that the iPad will support third-party eye-tracking hardware for easier control for people with blind and low vision communities. Apart from this, the Cupertino-giant will roll out new background sounds to help minimize distractions for people with hearing impairment. Another feature that Apple plans to roll out is a service called SignTime. This would allow users to communicate with AppleCare and Retail Customer by using American Sign Language (ASL) in the US, British Sign Language (BSL) in the UK, or French Sign Language (LSF) in France through their web browsers. The feature will be initially rolled out in the US, UK, and France and then later to the other countries. \u201cAt Apple, we\u2019ve long felt that the world\u2019s best technology should respond to everyone\u2019s needs, and our teams work relentlessly to build accessibility into everything we make. 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 \u2014 and we can\u2019t wait to share them with our users,\u201d said Sarah Herrlinger, Apple\u2019s senior director of Global Accessibility Policy and Initiatives. Here are some of the features Apple has announced<\/p>\n
