For hearing impaired, imagine using your Apple Watch to hear sounds around you. The on‐device intelligence will notify you when it detects one of 15 different types of sounds, including alarms, appliances, door knocks, car horns, or even the sound of a crying baby. For electronic sounds, you can train your iPhone or iPad to listen for and notify you of sounds that are unique to your environment, such as your doorbell. When your device detects these sounds or alerts, you’ll receive a visible and vibrating notification.

Voice Control lets you navigate your device with your voice. Commands like click, swipe, and tap help you easily interact with your favorite apps or take photos. Voice Control also offers a more efficient way to write and edit. With Voice Control spelling mode, you can dictate names, addresses, and even custom spellings letter by letter. AssistiveTouch lets you push all the buttons without pushing any! You can switch out any gestures that don’t work for you. You can even adapt an Apple watch to understand hand or arm motions. Best part is, all features are built in, no additional software needed.
