['Chancey Fleet' via Technology Programs at Andrew Heiskell Braille & Talking Book Library]

AI and Accessible Reading Tools: a Hands-On Demo and Discussion



Date and Time

Tuesday, September 15, 2026

3 PM–5 PM

Bring your curiosity to this hands-on demo event where we'll explore ways that mainstream and accessibility-focused AI tools can empower people who are Blind, have low vision or have trouble reading print. You'll learn about:
Making hard-copy and inaccessible online documents more usable
Turning complicated language into plain language
Understanding photos, charts and comics
What to watch out for: how and why AI makes mistakes, how to choose the right tool when your privacy matters, and what to consider when deciding if AI tools are right for the job.
