AI Accessibility Toolkit

AI Accessibility Toolkit

The AI Accessibility Toolkit project aims to make technology more accessible by providing AI-powered tools that can be integrated into existing applications. By leveraging computer vision, natural language processing, and other AI technologies, we’re creating solutions that break down barriers for people with disabilities.

Project Goals

Our toolkit includes components for:

  • Real-time captioning and transcription
  • Enhanced screen reading capabilities
  • Voice navigation and control
  • Automatic visual descriptions
  • Multi-modal interaction support

Current Status

The project is currently in active development, with core components being built and tested. We’re working with accessibility advocates and organizations to ensure our solutions meet real needs and work effectively in practice.

How to Get Involved

We welcome contributions from:

  • Developers interested in accessibility and AI
  • Accessibility advocates and users
  • Organizations willing to test and pilot
  • Anyone passionate about inclusive technology

The Problem

Many educational and workplace tools lack accessibility features, creating barriers for people with disabilities. Existing solutions are often expensive or limited in functionality.

Our Approach

Developing an open-source toolkit using AI to add accessibility features to existing applications, including real-time captioning, screen reading enhancements, voice navigation, and visual description generation.

Impact Goals

  • Enable 100+ organizations to improve accessibility of their tools
  • Support at least 5,000 users with accessibility needs
  • Create reusable components for the open-source community
  • Demonstrate how AI can be used for social good

Partners Needed

We're looking for partners to help make this project a reality. If you or your organization can contribute in any of these areas, we'd love to hear from you.

  • Accessibility organizations and advocates
  • Educational institutions for testing
  • Developers and contributors
  • Organizations willing to pilot the toolkit
