Screen to Soundscape Collective

×

Screen-to-Soundscape adopts an experimental approach to re-imagining screen readers in order to address the current limitations for blind and visually impaired users. The goal is to develop a free and open-source explorative tool that transforms a screen into an immersive soundscape, with a strong focus on providing rich, descriptive alt-text for images and maps.

Using open-source computer vision algorithms, our system will analyze visual elements to generate detailed and customizable alt-text tailored to user preferences, offering a more comprehensive understanding of visual content. Additionally, the prototype will feature spatial audio, using multiple layered voices to read out the content, ideally enhancing users’ navigation and interaction with digital content.

Part of the process integrated co-creation sessions with a group of Assistive Technology Specialists who are visually impaired or blind.

This project continues into 2025, consisting of three more co-creation sessions for finalization.
