Description:

Imagine computers that can "see" for people who can't see well and "listen" and type for people who can't use their hands easily.

That's what AI (Artificial Intelligence) is doing! The sources talk about how new AI tools are making a big difference for people with disabilities. For people who are visually impaired, there are apps and gadgets that use AI to describe pictures, read text out loud (like screen readers), and even help them get around by telling them what's in front of them, like street signs.

Some cool examples are Seeing AI and Be My Eyes, which can describe what's in front of a camera.

There are even special glasses that can tell you about your surroundings. For people with motor impairments who have trouble moving or speaking, AI helps too! Speech recognition software like Dragon Professional Individual lets them talk to their computers and type just by speaking.

There's even software like Voiceitt that can understand people whose speech might be harder for regular computers to understand.

Even voice assistants like Alexa and Siri can help with simple tasks. Overall, it looks like AI is making life better and more independent for people with disabilities. However, some of these tools might not always work perfectly for everyone, so scientists are still working to make them fairer for all users.

These smart tools powered by AI are a big step towards making technology accessible to everyone!
