Goal and impact
Support users with visual impairment. There are many people in the Netherlands who have difficulty reading and therefore have problems understanding texts on websites. On the website of Gemeente Mook en Middelaar, you can use ReadSpeaker. This is software that can read out text, translate and explain it. Anyone can use ReadSpeaker. The version of this reading aid is accessible, AVG-proof and extended with extra functionalities, such as a translation function with reading out in 22 languages (including Ukrainian), reading out with mouse selection, magnification function, screen masking and much more.
Considerations
Accessibility of municipal information.
Human intervention
The text is converted to speech, no human intervention (required).
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: works AVG proof and nothing is cached.
- Bias in responses: None, a summary of a text is created.
