Facebook AI-Powered Technology: Helping the Blind 'See' Facebook
Now THIS is impressive! Facebook's new feature gives the visually impaired a chance to really experience Facebook. Cue the bring-to-life description of photos and the updates from friends. Thank you Facebook. https://www.facebook.com/zuck/posts/10102762459540731 Mercy Mutemi.
This is a new frontier in accessibility for users! I would hope that such technology can be tested in our special schools as the government rolls out the digital literacy programme. Wow! On 6 April 2016 at 12:18, kanini mutemi via kictanet < kictanet@lists.kictanet.or.ke> wrote:

Thanks for sharing Kanini!! Hi Grace, My first reaction was similar to yours. Let's use such technology in our schools! Facebook's efforts might also inspire open source software developers to think in similar directions. Great stuff.
