Artificial intelligence has the power to revolutionize accessibility for persons with disability. People with any kind of disability can benefit from using artificial intelligence and machine learning to make things more inclusive and easy to use for all. Here we take a look at some of the ways AI can help improve accessibility.
For persons with visual impairment
Persons with a disability may sometimes face difficulties in staying connected with others. In such cases, artificial intelligence can be invaluable in helping them stay connected. For digital connectivity, users with visual impairments can benefit from AI-powered solutions.
VoiceOver provides a powerful screen reading feature for reading text and email messages, but it can also describe phone battery levels, icons, and images. People with visual impairment can also use AI-supported voice assistants such as Siri, Cortana, or Google Assistant to use voice commands for specific tasks.
