        Blind people shouldn’t need to give up their privacy to Microsoft and Google to have a web page read to them.

          Let me just quote the top of this thread.

          people please actually read the article not the headline; this is literally about accessibility improvements for blind and visually impaired people for generating alt text inside of documents and pdfs.

          It doesn’t just read the page to them, which is a solved problem, it generates descriptions when they’re missing, making the web more accessible.
