Once again Apple are striving to make their products accessible.
Gizmodo reports that Apple are working to make iTunes and the whole iPod range accessible for the blind using VoiceOver technology.
“Apple has committed to work with the state of Massachusetts to use its VoiceOver technology from Mac OS X to make its iTunes and iPod ecosystem fully usable for the blind. Before the agreement, Apple had already been making strides: VoiceOver and Braille support for OS X and closed captioning for iPod and Apple TV have already been implemented to a degree. But Apple’s taking it even further.”
