Microsoft Introduces the Speak for Me Feature to Aid Speech
This year marks the 14th Ability summit and during this, Microsoft unveils a special feature to its platform dubbed 'Speak for Me.' The brand highlights its progressive developments and collaborative projects that build to its portfolio of assistive technology. This also includes the AI-fueled audio description that helps developers with disabilities better create machine-learning applications.
The Seeing AI tool is also backed by more AI-generated descriptions with playbooks to follow.
