Yes, the article is probably better summarized as the iPad could have revolutionized accessibility, but it didn’t. A small market still has janky solutions to get by.
Apple, nor any other major company, is likely to sink major resources into helping non-verbal people communicate unless there is a way to use those improvements in a bigger market.
But with that said, the article is well written and worth a read for anyone that comes to the comments before clicking the link.
- asplake 3y ago(Edited) I’m aware of some interesting things being done with iPads for hospital patients who suddenly find it difficult to communicate – eg in intensive care or post-operatively. Very domain-specific though, not general purpose. Revolutionary perhaps in care terms but not for accessibility more broadly.
