I'm the Product Owner for the Met Office weather app.
We've have started investigating how we can improve our app to make it more accessible for blind and low vision users.
The app allows you to see the next 7 day forecast for your location or any favourite location, you can also get notified of any weather warnings in place for your safety. We have map layers and video forecasts to be able to view your forecast in a different way. We also provide extra details like sunrise/sunset, UV and Pollen.
Hi Everyone, my dad (who is deaf) and I developed an iPhone app that is up to 95% accurate for voice to text. We created this app because it was difficult for my dad to understand what was being said in daily conversations because lipreading is only 20% accurate.
Hello! My name is Liz, and I am a totally blind person who just ordered the IPhone 4S. A friend of mine guided me to this site, and I know that I will have a lot of questions as a new user of the IPhone. I will start asking now.
1. When texting, can I talk the text into the phone or do I need to use the touch screen to text? I have the same question for e-mailing as well.
2. If any one has any aps that are accessible that they find fun or helpful, I am all ears.
I was browsing the list of apps but couldn't see my apps there. It is true that my applications are recent, even if the first version of Navidys was released in 2013.
This is Borja from NaviLens, an innovative technology that makes spaces more accessible for the visually-impaired community and that is facing great success as it is currently expanding. I would like to tell you a bit about the concept and how this works.
As I was telling you, Navilens is a new system of smart digital markers that make spaces more accesible.
These markers are colored codes similar to the QR codes but with technical characteristics that allow their reading in conditions that no other code has.
We are the developers of an app named Noted, productivity app focusing on audio and note-taking for lectures, conferences or meetings.
Being inspired by Apple and friends, we have implemented full VoiceOvers, accessibility custom actions and rotors support for our app. Tested with a few visually impaired users of our app and they recommended us to post here for more feedback.
Would someone be able to help us out to make sure our app is good enough for everyone?

I am a fully blind app developer from Germany. In this post, I would love to introduce my first fully self-developed app, which has launched on the App Store only a few days ago.
Introducing Paylino, an innovative, fully accessible bill scanning and splitting app for iOS
Snap receipts, split with friends, add tip, done. Put an end to napkin math at dinner.
I’m excited to share an app I’ve been working on called Petal Feed, which is now available for iPhone and iPad on the App Store.
I’m legally blind myself, so accessibility wasn’t something I added later. It was part of the design from the very beginning. My goal was to build an RSS reader that feels right at home with VoiceOver while also being enjoyable for everyone to use.
We recently released an app called Pocket Recorder - Accessible Recorder by Sweetman Systems in the App Store. We know that there are many other recording apps currently in the App Store, but we have dedicated many hours to designing this app to be the easiest and most convenient app available to anyone with a visual impairment.
• Pocket Recorder’s menus are simple and easy to navigate.
• Icons are large and easy to find.
• Recordings are automatically uploaded to any device linked to your Dropbox account.
We've just released an app we have been working on, and are now looking at adding support for accessibility.
I'm looking for some people to help me test the accessibility features as I work thru adding them, and to highlight other areas that are specific problems.
Hi everyone!
First off, if this is the wrong forum to post this in, please let me know.
As someone who has used high-quality voice chat software like TeamTalk for years, I've always wanted something that brings that same audio quality to a modern mobile application.
These days, it feels like a lot of social apps sacrifice audio quality.
This is Yushu from the Roger team. Thanks so much for all the support you have been giving us, and for helping us make Roger so VoiceOver accessible over the past few months. We maintain a simple three button interface- with one tap, you are able to speak for an unlimited amount of time and we place really high emphasis and importance on our audio quality.
New Update Just Released for ScribeMe Live Assist
Live Assist turns your camera into an AI vision assistant that describes your surroundings live, in real time, helping you understand everything happening around you instantly.
Today, we’re excited to announce a major upgrade that makes Live Assist even more powerful:
[This clarification is being added to my original post: Inspired by my 89-year-old mother's challenges with her computer, this app was originally designed to help senior citizens, especially those with early stages of dimentia, to have a safe and simple online experience. A friend, loved one or other caregiver sets up the app for them to ensure they can send/receive email only to/from trusted contacts and thus avoid spam and online scams. Livewise the caregiver bookmarks only safe websites.
Hi AppleVis members! I made a handsfree and audible Twitter client called Social Speaker. It automatically retrieves Tweets at regular intervals and speaks them using the same accessibility voices as VoiceOver. Tweets can be sourced from your timeline, mentions, trending topics, lists and saved searches. There are also many settings to tailor how Tweets are spoken.
I decided to make a dedicated post to introduce the Sonarpad Audio Description feature, which is available on Windows, Mac, iPhone, iPad, and Android.
Just like I previously did on Windows and on Mac, I have brought to the mobile versions of Sonarpad the ability to create audio descriptions for any kind of content: movies, TV series, YouTube videos, personal videos, and much more.
What makes Sonarpad different is the way the audio description is generated.
Hello AppleVis, just wanted to share my newly released app 'sonogrid' for making beats: https://rosano.ca/sonogrid
I worked a lot on the VoiceOver implementation and I think it's a good start, but I could use some feedback. There were certain things that were hard to translate because it's a very visual app, but I think maybe 95% of the functionality is available through VoiceOver. I hope those of you who like music will have a chance to check it out.
