I don't like Apple much but their accessibility is outstanding, putting windows, android and desktop Linux to shame.

- rndgermandude 7y agoI am not saying they aren't doing a great job in that area, just that that great job is not necessarily motivated entirely by altruism ;)
- CJefferson 7y agoGood point, I may have read too much into your message.
- widowlark 7y agoI disagree. With a family member living with ALS, we had to wean them off of Apple products so that we could switch to a supported eye-tracking platform on windows. Apple had no os-level support for this and windows does.

- widowlark 7y agoUnfortunately, no - My family member has lost the ability to speak as this is one of the progressions of ALS - there comes a point where you have to use specialized input equipment, all of which work with USB and none of which work with iOS or MacOS
- CJefferson 7y agoInteresting, I'll admit I know nothing about eye tracking, I'm more familiar with blind accessibility, zooming, that kind of thing. I'll keep this in mind in future.
