		<description><![CDATA[Apparently, Apple has been listening. I have blogged much over the past six months on the iPhone&#8217;s missing accessibility features; more zoom, more color contrast and more voice. Today, Apply announced the next iteration of the iPhone, the 3G S, and it has taken a giant step in the right direction. Apple introduces these features on its iPhone 3G S Accessibility page. iPhone 3G S offers accessibility features to assist users who are visually or hearing impaired. These features include the VoiceOver screen reader, a Zoom feature, White on Black display options, Mono Audio, and more. Learn more about accessibility The main new accessibility feature is the implementation of Apple&#8217;s signature screen reader, Voiceover, to the iPhone. Without having tested it myself, this seems like a pretty good implementation. In addition to Voice Control, iPhone 3G S features VoiceOver, the world’s first gesture-based screen reader. Instead of memorizing keyboard commands or pressing tiny arrow keys, you simply touch the screen to hear a description of the item under your finger, then double-tap, drag, or flick to control iPhone. VoiceOver speaks 21 languages and works with all of the applications built into iPhone 3G S. Just as importantly for me are [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[As spotted on MacWord&#8217;s iPhone Central, Ars Technica is reporting that iPhone OS 3.0 to feature voice control and feedback. Various voice-related features, under the codename &#8220;Jibbler,&#8221; have been discovered in the version of SpringBoard set to ship with the next update to Apple&#8217;s mobile operating system. &#8230;. Not much information is known at this time, but according to our own people familiar with the matter, Jibbler appears be an enhancement to the iPhone SpringBoard application, the Finder-esque app that acts as a launcher and will support the newly announced 3.0 Spotlight search. Jibbler may be controlled via the iPhone headset—button squeezes could be used to record short voice segments from the user, which Jibbler will then interpret. Voice synthesis can then be used to give the user a response, similar to the latest generation iPod shuffle, which can &#8220;read&#8221; playlists and track names—the difference being that the iPhone hardware itself could handle real-time voice synthesis. This would be a giant leap forward for iPhone accessibility. The only way I can readily navigate my current phone, the Razr, is through its rudimentary audio feedback. The Razr repeats phone numbers as I dial them and has some basic voice commands. The [...]]]></description>
