AI is constantly transforming the world we currently live in. We can already witness its impact on accessibility for visually impaired users in the way it’s turning everyday tasks into seamless, voice-driven experiences. From natural language interaction to object recognition, it’s reshaping how people with sight loss navigate daily life, with RealSAM leading the charge in voice-first design.
In a world built around visual cues, artificial intelligence (AI) is becoming a powerful equaliser by changing accessibility for blind and visually impaired individuals. It fosters independence by helping users do more with a lot less effort. So, AI isn’t just improving old tools; it’s enabling devices to “see” and understand the real world, and to interact using natural, conversational language.
Natural Language Interaction
One of the most revolutionary aspects of AI is its ability to understand and respond to natural speech. Devices like RealSAM Pocket Plus allow users to speak conversationally – just like you would to a friend. This means that there is no need to memorise commands or navigate menus. You can say, “Read me today’s newspaper,” or “Call mum,” and the device responds instantly.
This is a major shift from traditional screen readers, which require gestures, training, and visual feedback. AI-powered voice interfaces remove those barriers entirely, simplifying the way users interact with their device.
Object and Text Recognition
AI-driven apps like Seeing AI and Google Lookout use smartphone cameras to identify objects, read text aloud, and as well as describe surroundings.
RealSAM has introduced Sight Assistant. This is a feature that is designed to promote independence to navigate daily tasks with ease. By allowing users to simply take a photo of an object or text, RealSAM recognises and interprets the content, helping them understand what’s in front of them.
At RealSAM, we also focus on hands-free access to curated content, like RNIB Talking Books, BBC podcasts, and Be My Eyes volunteer support.
Navigation and Location Awareness
AI is also improving mobility. Plenty of apps use AI to guide users through public transport, detect obstacles, or provide turn-by-turn directions. RealSAM, with its voice-first location tools, is designed for quick, safe orientation. This is especially useful for seniors or those new to assistive tech. It includes location-based features like “Where am I?”, Emergency SOS alerts, and the Be My Eyes volunteer support.
Personalised Learning and Support
AI is also increasingly used in education, offering adaptive learning tools for visually impaired students. RealSAM contributes to this space by offering easy access to educational audio content, reminders, and voice-based help commands. Thus, it manages to open a gateway to knowledge to blind and visually impaired individuals, through the simplicity of just using their voice.
RealSAM’s Role on the AI Accessibility Scene
At RealSAM, AI is at the very heart of what we do. Our fully voice-operated platform is a prime example of how AI can be harnessed to deliver independence.
Instead of fighting with complex interfaces or learning new gestures, RealSAM allows you to simply “tap and talk” – just like you would to a friend. Whether you’re using the Sight Assistant to identify items, connecting with Be My Eyes for live video assistance, or immersing yourself in the vast library of the RealSAM BookClub, AI is working seamlessly in the background to make every interaction effortless.
We believe that the best AI is the one you don’t even notice – it just works, making your life easier and more connected.
