Goal and impact

Support users with visual impairment. There are many people in the Netherlands who have reading difficulties and thus have problems understanding texts on websites. Think of low-literates, non-native speakers, people with a disability, poor eyesight, concentration problems, etc. On the website of the municipality of Beuningen, you can use ReadSpeaker. This is software that can read out text, translate and explain it. Anyone can use ReadSpeaker directly. There is no need to download or install anything.

Considerations

  • Provide B1 language level on the website. So that the website can be understood by more people.
  • Processes public website information
  • There are no personal data on the website that should not be public. We already publish them.
  • Gemini Flash 1.5, which is hosted by Google. Through use of a European data centre to prevent data ending up outside the EU.
  • The model is not trained based on data sent to it, nor do we train the model itself.

Human intervention

Text is converted to speech, or is summarised or explained. There is no human intervention.


Risk management

  • Risk of wrong answers: Is very limited. At most, incomplete disclosure. This then manifests itself in the summary not including the entire text. Only the core. That core is determined by AI.
  • Privacy risks: They operate AVG proof and cash in on nothing.
  • Bias in responses: None there is a summary of a text.
