Special features
At Yandex, we care about our users. That's why we want our Yandex app and other services to be more accessible to people with disabilities.
VoiceOver support
The Yandex app supports the VoiceOver screen reader program. It reads out everything that's on the screen. The user controls the process with gestures.
To launch VoiceOver, open the device settings, go to Accessibility, and enable the VoiceOver option. You can also ask Siri to do this.
Smart camera
Smart camera is a camera in the Yandex app. It recognizes objects, tells you about them, and shows where you can buy them. It also recognizes text, translates it, and scans documents.
