Google has offered a series of innovations over the years to assist visually impaired users. In 2018, it unveiled Voice Access, which permits users to control their devices using only their voice. When initiated, numbers appear onscreen next to any actionable options such as clicking, saving, deleting and sending.
Last fall, a new feature was added for Chrome web browser users that recognizes images and uses artificial intelligence to describe what appears in those images. Previously, visually impaired users would hear only that an image or "unlabeled graphic" is present.
Also last fall, Google introduced Live Caption, which generates real-time captioning for videos, podcasts and audio messages on Pixel 4 smartphones. The feature as later expanded to older model phones. Live Caption does not work on voice or video calls.
