Contents / Description
Artificial intelligence (AI) is life-changing for people with disabilities, for example people who are blind or visually impaired. AI can be used not only to recognize cash, but also to read texts, recognize images, but also to overview complex documents such as Excel lists and make them accessible in a short, understandable way. For people with autism or dyslexia, for example, AI can make life easier: it provides support when writing and formulating emails or texts in a Word document. By adding polite phrases to an email, the text becomes more friendly and personable overall, leading to deeper relationships with colleagues and customers. In products such as Word, PowerPoint and Excel, it’s not just people with neurodiversity who struggle greatly with the fear of the blank page. Using AI can help with creating an initial draft that you then only need to review. Creating meeting summaries with transcription, creating accessible PowerPoint slides and much more is also possible with the influence of AI.
