Description
Generative AI (GenAI) is revolutionizing the process of making PDFs accessible for students with low vision or blindness who use screen readers. This session will demonstrate how GenAI-powered tools can automate the bookmarking of document structures, generate accurate alternative text for images, reformat complex tables, and enhance the overall readability of PDFs. These technologies significantly reduce the time and expertise required to create accessible documents, enabling more efficient conversion of educational materials. By leveraging GenAI, participants can identify and remediate accessibility issues, ensuring that PDFs are compatible with screen readers and provide a more inclusive learning experience.
