Accessibility.

Assistive Access distills apps and experiences to essential features to support those with cognitive disabilities. Personal Voice¹² helps people with speech loss create a voice that sounds like them, and use it with Live Speech to communicate in calls and conversations. And Point and Speak¹³ makes it easier for people with vision disabilities to interact with physical objects that have text labels.

Reminders.

Grocery Lists automatically sort items into categories to make shopping easier. Change how items are grouped, and the list remembers your preferences.

PDFs.

Enhanced AutoFill allows you to securely use your saved information from Contacts to fill out a PDF or scanned document faster. Quickly return your completed form to the sender in Mail.
