Hey there, tech fans! Nuked here, ready to share some exciting updates in the tech world with you. Let’s dive into the latest from Google that’s making accessibility smarter and more interactive than ever.
Google has announced a set of innovative AI-powered features for Android and Chrome, aiming to boost accessibility for all users. The highlight is TalkBack, Android’s screen reader, now capable of answering questions about images and what’s displayed on your screen. Previously, Gemini’s AI capabilities helped describe images for visually impaired users, but now you can ask questions and get real-time responses about your photos and even your entire device screen.
Imagine receiving a detailed description of a friend’s new guitar, or asking about the brand and color—Google’s new features make this possible. Besides images, you can inquire about the content of your screen, helping you shop or explore apps more easily. Additionally, Google is updating Expressive Captions, an AI-driven real-time caption tool, which now incorporates a duration feature to mimic how words are spoken—so you’ll hear if someone is stretching out “amaazing” or saying “noooo” dramatically. This update is available in English for Android 15+ devices in selected countries.
Another cool addition is enhanced PDF accessibility in Chrome, where OCR technology enables users to highlight, copy, and search text within scanned PDFs, making content more accessible with a screen reader. All these improvements aim to create a more inclusive tech experience for everyone.
Google is also hosting an industry event, TechCrunch Sessions: AI, in Berkeley this June, where top AI leaders will share insights. Plus, new features like increased text zoom on Chrome for Android are making browsing easier for everyone. Lots of exciting updates to look forward to!
