AI for Accessibility Changed My Dad's Computer More Than Mine
The feature that mattered most wasn't flashy. It was independence.
My dad struggles with small text and fiddly menus. Voice and summarization tools gave some of that back.
He dictates emails now instead of hunting for keys, and a model summarizes long pages he'd skip.
The flashy image stuff means nothing to him. The boring accessibility wins changed his day.
I set it up once and watched him do a task alone that used to need me on the phone.
The most important AI isn't the smartest. It's the one that lets someone do it themselves.
