Apple has strenuously put in a lot of effort to mainstream features like continuity, extension, but also improves on impressive set of accessibility tool. Here is a list of accessibility tool that has been improved in iOS8.
Speak screen
A new feature that which has come out in iOS 8 is the Speak screen. It is easily understood from the term that it speaks out the content of the screen which includes the buttons, text, labels etc. A simple gesture initiates this feature, which will be of great use to visually impaired. Although iOS7 has a similar feature called speak selection but it only works with text that has been currently selected.
Alex- Natural sounding voice over
The current version has robostic-sounding Voiceover which is not natural. So, Apple has now come with a natural sounding voiceover called the Alex which is being introduced to iPhone and Ipad.
Braille Keyboard
For those visually impaired Apple has added support for a 6 dot Braille keyboard to make them feel at ease throughout the system.
Guided access
This is a accessibility feature that restricts your iOS device to a single app with a password, and disable unwanted gestures. Touch ID for authentication helps users in quitting an application. An added feature is that it lets users to configure a time limit for Guided access, after which iOS ia accessible without password. This feature plays a very vital role in business, offices and schools where iPads used to run just a single application.
Grayscale

Improved hearing aids
Users who use hearing aids with multiple devices can now switch between them easily. They can choose which device they’d like to connect to, if they are paired with more than one device.
Third party keyboard
Apple’s Extensibility framework allows third-party developers to custom their own system wide keyboards. This opens a wider range of possibility to improve default size, spacing and organization for visually impaired.

We now have much more polished feature, you just have to specify the portion to be zoomed. Zoom levels are adjustable and the keyboard appears in normal.
