“Apple’s approach to accessibility is unlike any other,” said Tim Cook, Apple’s CEO. “Now, with Apple Intelligence, we are bringing powerful new capabilities into our accessibility features while maintaining our foundational commitment to privacy by design.” “苹果的辅助功能理念与众不同，”苹果公司首席执行官蒂姆·库克（Tim Cook）表示。“现在，借助 Apple Intelligence，我们在为辅助功能引入强大新能力的同时，始终坚持‘隐私设计’这一基本承诺。”

VoiceOver and Magnifier Can Explore More
VoiceOver 和放大器探索能力升级
For users who are blind or have low vision, VoiceOver and Magnifier can describe onscreen information or a user’s surroundings. With Apple Intelligence, these essential tools become even more powerful. The Image Explorer in VoiceOver uses Apple Intelligence to give more detailed descriptions of images systemwide, including what’s in photographs, scanned bills, personal records, and other visual content. With updates to Live Recognition, VoiceOver users can press the Action button on iPhone to quickly ask a question about what’s in the camera viewfinder and get a detailed response. Users can also ask follow-up questions in their own words to get more visual information. 对于盲人或低视力用户，VoiceOver 和放大器可以描述屏幕信息或用户周围的环境。借助 Apple Intelligence，这些核心工具变得更加强大。VoiceOver 中的“图像探索器”利用 Apple Intelligence 在系统范围内提供更详细的图像描述，包括照片、扫描账单、个人记录和其他视觉内容中的信息。通过“实时识别”功能的更新，VoiceOver 用户可以按下 iPhone 上的操作按钮，快速询问相机取景器中的内容并获得详细回复。用户还可以用自己的语言进行追问，以获取更多视觉信息。
Magnifier uses Apple Intelligence to bring the same assistive exploration and visual description to a high-contrast interface designed for users who have low vision. Magnifier also works with the Action button so users can quickly ask questions and get answers. And users can control the app itself with spoken requests, such as “zoom in” or “turn on flashlight.” 放大器利用 Apple Intelligence 将同样的辅助探索和视觉描述功能带到了专为低视力用户设计的高对比度界面中。放大器同样支持操作按钮，用户可以快速提问并获得答案。此外，用户还可以通过语音指令控制该应用，例如“放大”或“打开手电筒”。
Voice Control Gets Natural Language
语音控制支持自然语言
With Apple Intelligence, Voice Control becomes more intuitive than ever, using natural language to help users with a range of physical disabilities navigate iPhone and iPad entirely by voice. With a new flexible input, users can describe onscreen buttons and controls with natural language instead of memorizing exact labels or numbers. The option to “say what you see” is great for navigating any app, including those with visual layouts such as Apple Maps or Files, using intuitive language like “tap the guide about best restaurants” or “tap the purple folder.” This can also help users overcome barriers when elements aren’t properly labeled for accessibility. 借助 Apple Intelligence，语音控制变得比以往任何时候都更加直观。它利用自然语言帮助各类肢体残障用户完全通过语音操作 iPhone 和 iPad。通过全新的灵活输入方式，用户可以用自然语言描述屏幕上的按钮和控件，而无需记忆确切的标签或数字。“所见即所说”功能非常适合导航任何应用程序，包括 Apple 地图或“文件”等具有视觉布局的应用，用户可以使用直观的语言，如“点击关于最佳餐厅的指南”或“点击紫色文件夹”。这也能帮助用户克服因元素未正确标注辅助功能标签而带来的障碍。
Accessibility Reader Adapts Even More
辅助阅读器适应性更强
Accessibility Reader is a customized reading experience for users with a wide range of disabilities, from dyslexia to low vision, and with Apple Intelligence, the reading experience is more accessible than ever. Accessibility Reader works on more complex source material like scientific articles, handling text with multiple columns, images, and tables. On-demand summaries provide readers the option to get an overview of the article before diving into the details. And with new built-in translation, users can read text in their native language while retaining custom formatting, font, and colors. 辅助阅读器为从阅读障碍到低视力的各类残障用户提供了定制化的阅读体验。有了 Apple Intelligence，这种阅读体验变得更加无障碍。辅助阅读器可以处理科学文章等更复杂的源材料，支持多栏文本、图像和表格。按需生成的摘要让读者在深入阅读细节之前，可以先了解文章概览。此外，通过内置的全新翻译功能，用户可以用母语阅读文本，同时保留自定义的格式、字体和颜色。
Generated Subtitles for Video
视频自动生成字幕
While captioning solutions are increasingly common for users who are deaf or hard of hearing, subtitles for spoken dialogue are rarely available for personal videos, content shared by friends and family, and other media. With new generated subtitles, videos can display transcriptions of spoken audio automatically when captions or subtitles are not already provided, including in clips recorded on iPhone, received from friends and family, or streamed online. With on-device speech recognition, subtitles are generated privately and appear automatically for uncaptioned videos on iPhone, iPad, Mac, Apple TV, and Apple Vision Pro. The appearance of subtitles can be customized in the video playback menu or in Settings. 虽然字幕解决方案在听障人士中越来越普遍，但个人视频、亲友分享的内容及其他媒体往往缺乏口语对话字幕。通过全新的自动生成字幕功能，当视频本身未提供字幕时，系统可以自动显示口语转录文本，这适用于 iPhone 录制的片段、亲友发送的视频或在线流媒体。借助设备端语音识别技术，字幕在 iPhone、iPad、Mac、Apple TV 和 Apple Vision Pro 上私密生成并自动显示。字幕的外观可以在视频播放菜单或“设置”中进行自定义。
