Welcome to AppleVis

A community-powered website for blind and low-vision users of Apple's range of Mac computers, the iPhone, iPad and iPod Touch.

AppleVis is a rich resource that strives to empower the community by offering multiple pathways to access and share relevant and useful information. As a community, we seek to encourage and support people in exploring the many ways in which these mainstream products and related applications can offer opportunities to the vision-impaired for personal enrichment, independence and empowerment.

AppleVis also offers resources and mechanisms for raising awareness of the accessibility of Apple products and related applications, and for promoting further advancement in accessibility.

Campaign of the Month

Spotify is one of the most popular music streaming services available. Unfortunately, if you are blind, the only available option for using Spotify that comes close to being accessible is their iOS app. However, this is also the option that requires a Premium subscription to their service. So, in our current campaign, we are urging Spotify to give blind and low vision users fair and equal access to the service on all supported platforms.

Visit the Campaign of the Month section of this site to read more about this campaign and to see just how easy it is to add your support.
