Podcast Summary:
Join Blind Abilities podcast host Simon Bonenfant, live from the 2024 NFB National Convention in Orlando Florida, as he chats with Jeff Bazer, Regional Director of Sales at Vispero, about their current product offerings, as well as many exciting AI enhancements to the Jaws screen reader.
One of the most notable updates in Jaws 2024 is a new set of features complementing the Picture Smart function. Using two Chat bot models, Chat GPT from open AI, as well as Claude from Anthropic, users can either import a picture on their computer, or take a live screenshot of any window, and receive two real-time detailed descriptions of the image being presented. Users also have the ability to ask follow-up questions, as standard practice with many AI image detection apps. Listen as Jeff demos the feature on both Amazon and YouTube.
Jeff also shares a brand-new feature just announced at the NFB convention, which allows for a conversational commands search of any freedom scientific training and help topics. This feature also works in the context of any Microsoft office products, and many web browsers as well.
