👁️ How AnyToSpeech Helps People with Visual Impairments
For individuals with visual impairments or blindness, accessing written content isn't optional—it's essential for education, employment, and daily independence. AnyToSpeech provides powerful tools to convert any written content into natural-sounding audio, ensuring equal access to information.
🌍 The Challenge
According to the World Health Organization, approximately 2.2 billion people worldwide have vision impairment or blindness. Every day, these individuals face barriers accessing:
- 📄 Documents and PDFs
- 📸 Printed text and signs
- 🌐 Web articles and online content
- 📚 Books and educational materials
- 💼 Workplace documents
Traditional screen readers help, but they don't handle everything—especially PDFs, images, and complex documents. That's where we come in.
