作为市场上对用户更友好的操作系统之一，iOS 享有当之无愧的声誉。虽然它们缺乏许多Android设备提供的一些高级可定制性，但 iPhone 和 iPad 非常容易开箱即用。此外，Apple还提供了多种辅助(Accessibility)功能，让几乎任何人都可以轻松使用他们的设备。
在本文中，我们将讨论 iOS 上一些更常见的交互可访问性设置以及如何启用它们。但是，本指南绝不是详尽无遗的，因此我们鼓励您进行一些探索，以了解(learn more)有关操作系统必须提供的一些更小众功能的更多信息。
iOS交互辅助功能设置(Interaction Accessibility Settings)
您可以通过几种不同的方式修改 iOS 以简化交互，并且无论您要启用哪些功能，启动过程都是相同的。
第 1 步。 点击设置(Settings)应用程序。
步骤 2. 点击常规(General)。
第 3 步。点击辅助功能(Accessibility)以打开菜单，其中包含 Apple 的 iOS 住宿的完整阵容。
辅助触控
Assistive Touch是一个有用的实用程序，可以在手机或平板电脑的屏幕上添加一个小菜单。它的目的是让那些有手部移动问题的人能够访问通常通过滑动、捏合、敲击和 3D 触摸等操作启用的相同交互。
设置Assistive Touch非常简单，并且有多种设置可供选择，以便按照您想要的方式设置菜单。
步骤 1. 从辅助功能(Accessibility)菜单中，点击辅助触摸(Assistive Touch)。
第 2 步。在此页面上，您将看到各种设置。顶部是一个滑块，您可以切换它以打开该功能，屏幕中间是一系列选项卡，您可以使用它们来调整每个 iOS 操作所关联的内容。
第 3 步。当您打开它时，您会注意到屏幕右下方有一个带有同心圆的小按钮。点击它会弹出辅助触摸(Assistive Touch)菜单。
在这里，您只需轻按一个按钮即可轻松访问通知和其他电话设置，以及 我们将在下面更详细讨论的自定义菜单。(Custom)
辅助触摸手势
默认情况下，“自定义”(Custom)菜单将使您能够访问“捏合”、“双击”和“3D Touch ”等选项，从而为执行这些任务有困难的用户提供一种通过单击即可完成这些任务的方法。
选择其中一个选项将在手机上放置一个小靶心，只需按一下即可将其移动到正确的位置以激活动作。
然而，自定义(Custom)菜单的真正强大之处在于能够记录自定义手势(Custom Gestures)，以便在手机上进行几乎任何类型的交互。
步骤 1. 从辅助触摸( Assistive Touch)菜单中，选择屏幕底部的创建新手势。(Create New Gesture)
第 2 步。下一个屏幕为您提供一个窗口，您可以在其中记录您希望自定义手势包含的任何动作或动作序列。为了简单起见，我们在屏幕上进行了一次滑动，然后按下屏幕右下角的停止(Stop) 。
第 3 步。 在屏幕的右上角，选择保存手势(Save Gesture) 以将记录的操作添加为辅助触摸菜单的(Assistive Touch Menu)自定义(Custom)部分中的按钮。
步骤 4. 打开辅助触摸(Assistive Touch)菜单并导航到自定义(Custom)。现在，除了已经存在的常规动作之外，您应该会看到一个带有已保存手势名称的星号。点击它现在将执行操作，在这种情况下是向右滑动。
打字反馈
虽然触摸屏键盘比物理键盘甚至通过键盘手动输入文本更方便，但某些用户会因缺乏触觉反馈而苦苦挣扎。由于视觉障碍，其他人可能无法跟踪他们正在输入的文本，这可能会使使用手机或平板电脑的这个组成部分变得非常困难。
Apple 通过打字反馈(Typing Feedback)功能解决了这个问题，为用户提供了一个完整的菜单，其中包含不同的选项可供选择，以增强打字体验。
步骤 1.从辅助功能(Accessibility)菜单导航到语音。(Speech)
步骤 2. 点击输入反馈(Typing Feedback)。
第 3 步。 下一页允许您选择要添加到手机或平板电脑上的输入的反馈类型。
屏幕底部的设置是打字反馈功能的主要方面，并在下方包含解释它们如何工作的文本。
页面顶部的两个选项不太清楚。字符(Character) 会在您输入时说出每个字母，而字符提示(Character Hints)会读出字母的音名。
减少运动
我们将讨论的最后一个功能是减少运动(Reduce Motion)选项。手机上的许多(Many)交互都涉及以某种方式移动图标或页面，其中最明显的是在屏幕之间滑动或打开应用程序。
减少运动会将运动(Reduce Motion)换成不太可能打扰那些对运动敏感的人的效果，例如淡入和淡出屏幕。
第 1 步。从辅助功能菜单中点击减少运动。(Reduce Motion)
第 2 步。在下一个屏幕上是一个简单的切换，您可以激活以打开该功能。
下面是一个称为自动播放消息效果(Auto-Play Message Effects)的功能。在iMessage中，现在可以将视觉效果与消息一起发送。这些与朋友交流很有趣，但是让他们突然出现可能会给那些对视觉运动敏感的人带来问题。默认情况下，此功能已启用，但只需轻按一下即可将其关闭！
虽然我们介绍的技巧是最常见且易于访问的交互设置，但Apple还添加了许多更高级和更小众的功能。
iPhone 和 iPad 是市场上最适合残障用户的设备之一，当您有机会探索 iOS辅助功能(Accessibility)时，您会发现那里有很大的灵活性。享受！
Adjust iOS Interaction Accessibility Settings On iOS
iOS has a wеll-deserved reputation for being one of the morе υser-friendly operating systеms on the market. While they lack some of the advanсed customizability that mаny Android devices offer, iPhones and iPads are extremely easy to pick uр right out of the box. Plus, Apple has included а wіde selection of Αccessibility features to make it easy for pretty much anyone to use their deviсes.
In this article, we’ll discuss some of the more common interaction accessibility settings on iOS and how to enable them. This guide is by no means exhaustive, however, so we encourage you to do some exploring to learn more about some of the more niche features that the operating system has to offer.
iOS Interaction Accessibility Settings
There are a few different ways you can modify iOS to make interaction easier, and the starting process is the same regardless of the features that you’d like to enable.
Step 1. Tap on the Settings app.
Step 2. Tap on General.
Step 3. Tap on Accessibility in order to open up the menu with the full lineup of Apple’s iOS accommodations.
Assistive Touch
Assistive Touch is a useful utility that adds a small menu to your phone or tablet’s screen. It’s intended to allow those with hand mobility issues to access the same interactions that would normally be enabled through actions like swiping, pinching, tapping, and 3D touch.
Setting up Assistive Touch is pretty easy, and there are a variety of settings to pick and choose from in order to set your menu up exactly the way you want.
Step 1. From the Accessibility menu, tap on Assistive Touch.
Step 2. On this page, you’ll see a variety of settings. At the top is a slider that you’ll toggle in order to turn on the feature, and in the middle of the screen is a series of tabs that you can use to adjust what each iOS action is tied to.
Step 3. When you turn this on, you’ll notice a small button with concentric circles in it at the bottom right of your screen. Tapping on it will bring up the Assistive Touch menu.
Here you’ll have access to the ability to easily access notifications and other phone settings with a simple tap of a button, as well as a Custom menu that we’ll discuss in more detail below.
Assistive Touch Gestures
The Custom menu by default will give you the ability to access options like “Pinch,” “Double Tap,” and “3D Touch,” giving users who have difficulty performing those tasks a way to do so with a single tap.
Selecting one of the options will put a small bullseye on the phone that can be moved to the correct position to activate the motion with a simple press.
The real power of the Custom menu, however, is in the ability to record Custom Gestures to do pretty much whatever type of interaction you’re looking for on your phone.
Step 1. From the Assistive Touch menu, select Create New Gesture at the bottom of the screen.
Step 2. The next screen gives you a window where you can record any action or sequence of actions that you’d like your custom gesture to include. To keep things simple we made a single swipe across the screen and then pressed Stop at the bottom right of the screen.
Step 3. At the top right of the screen, select Save Gesture in order to add your recorded actions as a button in the Custom section of the Assistive Touch Menu.
Step 4. Open the Assistive Touch menu and navigate to Custom. Now, alongside the regular actions that were already there, you should see a Star with the name of your saved gesture. Tapping it will now perform the action, which in this case is a swipe to the right.
Typing Feedback
While touchscreen keyboards are more convenient than a physical keyboard or even entering text manually through the keypad, certain users will struggle from the lack of tactile feedback. Others may have issues keeping track of the text that they are entering due to visual impairment, which can make using this integral part of a phone or tablet exceedingly difficult.
Apple addresses this with the Typing Feedback feature, giving users a whole menu of different options to choose from in order to enhance the typing experience.
Step 1. Navigate to Speech from the Accessibility menu.
Step 2. Tap on Typing Feedback.
Step 3. The next page allows you to select the type of feedback you’d like to add to the typing on your phone or tablet.
The settings at the bottom of the screen are the main aspects of the typing feedback feature, and include text underneath that explains how they work.
What is a little less clear are the two options at the top of the page. Character will speak out each letter as you’re typing, while Character Hints will read out the phonetic name for the letter.
Reduce Motion
The last feature we’ll discuss is the Reduce Motion option. Many of the interactions on the phone involve moving icons or pages in some way, the most obvious of which is swiping between screens or opening apps.
Reduce Motion will swap out movement for effects that are less likely to bother those with sensitivity to motion, such as fading screens in and out.
Step 1. Tap on Reduce Motion from the Accessibility menu.
Step 2. On the next screen is a simple toggle you can activate to turn the feature on.
Underneath that is a feature called Auto-Play Message Effects. In iMessage, it is now possible to send visual effects along with messages. These are fun to exchange with friends, but having them pop up out of nowhere can cause issues for those sensitive to visual movement. By default, this feature is enabled, but turning it off just takes a simple tap!
While the tips we’ve gone over are the most common and easily-accessible interaction settings, Apple has added in a number of more advanced and niche features as well.
iPhones and iPads are some of the best devices on the market for users with disabilities, and you’ll find a lot of flexibility there when you take the opportunity to explore iOS Accessibility. Enjoy!
