Google is updating Maps, Search, and Assistant with new accessibility features. The company is also releasing a new Magnifier app to help users read text
Google Maps is adding screen reader support for the “Search with Live View” feature so users with visual impairment can hold their phone out to identify places like ATMs and public transport stations around them.
Currently, this feature is only available in London, Los Angeles, New York City, Paris, San Francisco, and Tokyo.
Google is also updating Maps for Android Auto to include information about wheelchair accessibility for places like restrooms and parking.
Earlier this year, Google rolled out a new feature for Chrome on desktops to auto-suggest URLs even if users had typos in the search phrase.
The search giant launched a new magnifier app — developed in partnership with the Royal National Institute of Blind People and National Federation of the Blind — that will help users better read text like menus and street signs.
The app also helps you read continuously changing signs like flight information at airports by freezing the image.
