    Beth

    Starting, organizing, and staying with everyday tasks can be difficult when executive-function demands feel larger than the task itself.

    Howe — Just Ask Howe

    Instructions for ordinary tasks are often incomplete, overly technical, or written as though the reader already knows the missing steps.

    Score Reader

    Printed and digital sheet music is almost entirely visual, so blind and low-vision musicians often cannot read a score independently.

    Inner Compass

    Many reflection and inspiration apps are cluttered, visual-first, or hard to use with a screen reader.

    Just Tell Me

    Food labels spread essential information across small print, multiple panels, and barcodes. A blind or low-vision shopper may know exactly what they need to check but still cannot tell where on the package that information appears.

    AiVi — See & Speak

    Kaidence — Speak Genius

    Existing AAC apps are often slow, generic, and don't adapt to how a specific person actually communicates.

    TypeRight — Type Together

    Typing tutors are often visual-only, repetitive, and hard to stick with for learners of different ages and abilities.

    Prism

    Most AI image tools force you to start over every time you want a small change, and they give you no way to know what the image actually contains if you can't see it.

    Echo Pal

    Quiet, unclear, or hard-to-project speech often doesn't carry in a room, and repeating yourself is exhausting.

    NORA

    The details you need later are rarely the ones you thought to write down at the time.

    Awareness Engine

    Important events in your environment — conversations, knocks, alarms — can be missed without a clear way to know what happened.

    Access Atlas

    Accessibility information about a place is scattered, out of date, or simply missing, so people find out when they arrive.

    ASL Speaker

    Conversations between signers and non-signers usually depend on a third person being present to interpret.

    SceneCast

    SceneCast transcribes audio or video into text. Most transcripts stop at the words, losing who spoke, the sounds in the room, and where one scene ends and the next begins.

    Warden's Call

    Most games built around rich fantasy worlds are impossible to play without seeing the screen, leaving blind and low-vision players out of the story entirely.

    Type Braille

    Learning braille usually depends on expensive hardware or in-person instruction, so most people who could benefit never get the chance to start.

    Updated Aug 4, 2026

    Sign Sense

    Almost every way to learn ASL assumes you can see the signs, which shuts out DeafBlind and blind learners and makes shared learning between blind and sighted people awkward.

    SpeakEasy Translator

    Translation apps usually expect you to read a screen, which makes them close to useless in a live conversation if you cannot see the text.

    Career Compass

    Mainstream job sites match people to their old job titles, not to what they can do now — which fails anyone whose abilities, health, or circumstances have changed.

    Visual Narrator

    Most video has no audio description, so blind and low-vision viewers miss the action, the settings, and the faces that carry the story.

    Open Builder

    People are told they have to learn to code before they are allowed to build anything, and almost every course that teaches building with AI assumes you can see a preview to know whether it worked.

    Jen — Wellness Planner

    The Wellness Recovery Action Plan (WRAP) model gives people a structured way to manage wellness, but keeping that plan present, personal, and easy to update can be hard without a supportive tool.

    Language Explorer

    Language learning often starts with abstract grammar and vocabulary lists instead of the real situations where people actually need to communicate.
