AI as an A11y Ally
summary
Claims that AI can make mainstream tech accessible are backed by hands‑on work: recruited people with diabetes and vision loss, used Dovetail to code interviews and seeded wish list items, then generated voice scripts with ChatGPT/Gemini and built a VoiceFlow prototype for a continuous glucose monitor in three weeks. Tools tested include Seeing AI and Copilot; the prototype reads current level, trends, configurable reports and emailed summaries, and user testing shows the voice UX resolves critical gaps that screen readers miss.
