Screen Recognition

A computer vision feature in Apple's VoiceOver screen reader that automatically interprets the pixels of a graphical user interface to identify and label interactive elements when applications have not properly implemented accessibility APIs. Screen Recognition analyses the visual appearance of buttons, text fields, and other controls to generate accessibility metadata on demand, enabling VoiceOver users to interact with otherwise inaccessible third-party applications. The feature serves as an important fallback mechanism, acknowledging the practical reality that not all developers will correctly implement accessibility in their apps, while the system must still remain usable.
