Voice Control revolutionizes the smartphone experience for blind individuals by allowing them to interact with their device entirely through voice commands. This feature empowers users to perform a wide range of tasks, from sending messages and making calls to browsing the web and accessing apps, all without the need for sighted assistance.

  3. Tap on Voice Control and toggle it on


Once enabled, you can command Siri to open apps, tap on elements, navigate screens, and even dictate text! Say "tap on [element]" to interact with items on the screen, or "open [app name]" to launch your favorite applications. For VoiceOver users, streamline your navigation with commands like "VoiceOver select next item" or "VoiceOver select previous item."


Editing text is a breeze too! Use commands like "Move back 1 word" or "Delete that" to effortlessly edit documents and emails. Say goodbye to tapping and hello to hands-free control with Voice Control on your iPhone!

 

Beyond enhancing day-to-day communication and productivity, Voice Control opens doors to new opportunities for education, employment, and social inclusion.
