Just moments after Samsung announced the new features to be made available for the Galaxy Buds 2 Pro followed it Apple, when he reported on some news making it easier for people with limitations on Apple devices. Just before Global Accessibility Awareness Day, which this time fell on May 18, the Cupertino company showed off features to improve iPhone accessibility, and it looks like they were often inspired by those from Korea's Samsung. Specifically Apple unveiled Assistive Access, Live Speech, and Personal Voice.
Assistive Access à la Easy mode
The Assistive Access function is intended for people with cognitive difficulties. It offers larger controls and a simplified user interface layout to allow easier access to essential functions. This innovation is not unlike Samsung's Easy Mode, which also simplifies the user interface for easier access, which helps especially the elderly or those with cognitive impairments. Assistive Access will be available on iPhoneand iPads with core apps such as Calls, Camera, Messages, Music or Photos and will be introduced later this year as part of an update iOS 17.

Live Speech in the style of Bixby Text Call
Using Live Speech, it will be possible to write the content of the message, which will then be converted iPhonem, iPad or Mac for speech and transferred to the other party of the call. There will also be an option to save common, quick phrases that could come in handy during communication. Here, too, there is considerable similarity to Samsung's Bixby Text Call feature, which transcribes voice to text during calls and vice versa.

Personal Voice by Bixby Custom Voice Creator
The company's Personal Voice access feature Apple is intended for users who are at risk of losing their voice. It enables the devices to learn the user's voice, so that they can communicate with their voice in the event that they lose their voice due to, for example, heavy workload or illness. Just read a random set of text instructions on your iPhone or iPad and record 15 minutes of audio. This feature is also apparently inspired by the Bixby Custom Voice Creator that Samsung launched earlier this year.
Detection mode in the Magnifier app, a bit like Bixby Vision
In addition to the mentioned news in the area of making the company accessible Apple also announced a new detection mode in the Lupa application, which will be on iPhonech to help people with low vision to read text from objects. After pointing the camera at an object or text, the detection mode recognizes the text and reads it aloud. Again, this is a similar feature to what Samsung offers in Bixby Vision - Color Detection, Object Identifier, Scene Descriptor and Text Reading.
The new accessibility enhancements also include hearing aid certification “Made for iPhone Hearing Devices”, improvements to voice control, more text size options in basic Mac apps, image pauses with moving elements for those sensitive to fast animations, and more natural Voice Over voices.
Njn apple has been catching up with the competition for a long time. Embarrassment.
Crap
When will Samsung learn to take quality photos. I have how iPhone 14 for max so Samsung Galaxy s23u ultra and iPhone photos are much better. On the Samsung, I appreciate a maximum of 10x zoom, and that's only in daylight. It copies the entire environment iPhone... Well, what to invent, everyone copies everyone else.
