 Peter, 
 
 Thank you for your question about Apple Watch Accessibility. 
 Yes, we do have support in Apple Watch for accessibility, that information 
 will be posted on apple.com  shortly. 
 
 Below are the marketing descriptions of the Accessibility features for Apple

 VoiceOver 
 VoiceOver is a gesture-based screen reader that uses the speaker on Apple 
 Watch. It tells you everything that’s happening on the screen and helps you 
 navigate it — even if you can’t see it. VoiceOver on Apple Watch is 
 compatible with built-in apps and is available in all 14 supported 
 languages. 
 
 Font Adjustment 
 Activate Larger Dynamic Type to increase the text size for a range of Apple 
 Watch apps, including Mail, Messages, and Settings — and even some 
 third-party apps — to make it easier to read. You can also choose Bold Text 
 to make the text heavier across built-in apps. 
 
 Zoom 
 With Apple Watch, it’s easy to zoom in on your content by using the Digital 
 Crown to move across the screen by rows. With magnification up to 15 times 
 the native size, Zoom helps you enjoy all that Apple Watch has to offer. 
 
 Grayscale 
 If your vision is impaired by color, Apple Watch lets you enable grayscale 
 onscreen. Once you set the filter, the settings apply systemwide, so you’ll 
 see only shades of gray on the Home screen, apps, and more. 
 
 Extra Large Watch Face 
 Apple Watch has many different faces that you can change and customize. One 
 of them is an extra large watch face — with numbers that take up the entire 
 screen — that makes it easier to view the time. 
 
 Reduce Transparency 
 For features like alerts, Siri, and Glances, you can increase the contrast 
 on your Apple Watch screen by reducing the background transparency. 
 
 On/Off Labels
 To make it easier to see whether a setting is on or off, you can have Apple 
 Watch show an additional label on the on/off switch.

2015-04-09 Thread SSEric
For the past week, many tech writers have had an Apple Watch for review ahead 
of the release. I have not heard of anyone being given advanced access to the 
Watch to talk about it in terms of accessibility. This seems like a gross 
oversight somewhere.

  VoiceOver 
  VoiceOver is a gesture-based screen reader that uses the speaker on Apple 
Watch. It tells you everything that’s happening on the screen and helps you 
navigate it — even if you can’t see it. VoiceOver on Apple Watch is compatible 
with built-in apps and is available in all 14 supported languages. 

  Font Adjustment 
  Activate Larger Dynamic Type to increase the text size for a range of Apple 
Watch apps, including Mail, Messages, and Settings — and even some third-party 
apps — to make it easier to read. You can also choose Bold Text to make the 
text heavier across built-in apps. 

  Zoom 
  With Apple Watch, it’s easy to zoom in on your content by using the Digital 
Crown to move across the screen by rows. With magnification up to 15 times the 
native size, Zoom helps you enjoy all that Apple Watch has to offer. 

  Grayscale 
  If your vision is impaired by color, Apple Watch lets you enable grayscale 
onscreen. Once you set the filter, the settings apply systemwide, so you’ll see 
only shades of gray on the Home screen, apps, and more. 

  Extra Large Watch Face 
  Apple Watch has many different faces that you can change and customize. One 
of them is an extra large watch face — with numbers that take up the entire 
screen — that makes it easier to view the time. 

  Reduce Transparency 
  For features like alerts, Siri, and Glances, you can increase the contrast on 
your Apple Watch screen by reducing the background transparency. 

  On/Off Labels
  To make it easier to see whether a setting is on or off, you can have Apple 
Watch show an additional label on the on/off switch. 

  Reduce Motion 
  When you turn on Reduce Motion,

 screen elements no longer move. For example, the movement of icons on the Home 
screen will be simpler and more directly associated with your navigation 
gestures.
