Big Clock

he Coding Monkeys’ Big Clock HD app is a must for visually impaired travelers. Just double tap to rotate iPad orientation to landscape view and set it atop a hotel room TV or table. You’ll be able to read it with a glance while lying in bed. The clock displays time and date in the region format and language the device is set to. The app prevents devices from auto-locking when displaying the time.

Making the iPhone camera accessible for the blind.

Accessibility, Apple

When it comes to accessibility on mobile devices, some will look at the camera and immediately scratch it off the to-do list. Others will look at the camera and ask what can be done.

Someone who can’t see may still want to share photos with family, friends, and connections who can. That’s why offering a Camera app that’s accessible to those with limited or no vision is so important. Everyone should have the option of taking pictures of the people and places that matter to them. And yes, in the age of social media, everyone should have the option of taking a selfie. That’s the essence of inclusivity.
