AppleVis Extra 75: Sarah Herrlinger and Dean Hudson from Apple Accessibility

In this edition of the AppleVis Extra, Dave Nason and Thomas Domville speak with Sarah Herrlinger, Director of Global Accessibility Policy and Initiatives at Apple, and her colleague Dean Hudson, who is also a VoiceOver and braille user himself. On 22 June, Apple’s WWDC keynote highlighted the key changes and updates coming in iOS 14, iPad OS 14, Watch OS 7 and Mac OS Big Sur, from a largely mainstream perspective. This conversation with Sarah and Dean gives us the opportunity to learn much more about what’s new in the area of accessibility.

[Music] Announcer: An AppleVis original. [Transition sound] Sarah Herrlinger: Part of our job is to work on making sure that everything that everyone makes at Apple is accessible. It's also about making sure that there's some really fun things to surprise and delight as many of the communities that we support as we can each year and finding new ways and new communities as we move along. I think this year hopefully, is going to be another fantastic year. [Transition sound] Dean Hudson: On the technical side of things and when you're buried in the year, just sorting out details and what features will do what and you kind of get sort of lost in the trees and coming out for Dub Dub DC sort of look back and say, "Wow, these are some great features.

Or someone who is already an adult looking at going into developing. We want to make sure that there's a next generation of developers out there, that are members of the blind community.

Thomas Domville: Absolutely. [Transition sound] Dave Nason: Sarah and Dean, thank you so much for joining us again. It's great to have you back. Sarah Herrlinger: Well, it's so wonderful to be here.
