Here is one I should get a hat made for: MEBGA: Make Ed¡¯s Brain Great Again ?

An AI-powered screen reader assistant that allows you to navigate and interact with inaccessible software!
Powered by Google's advanced Gemini model, Viewpoint analyzes what's on screen and presents the information in an accessible way! Whether you are working in an inaccessible application, browsing the web, or reading a scanned pdf, Viewpoint is there to accomplish the tasks your screen reader cannot.

OCR Mode
Extract text from applications and websites and view it in a clear, readable format! Viewpoint captures a screenshot and displays all visible text in a simple dialog. Furthermore, if you need to save the text, you can also copy it to your clipboard and paste it whereever you need.
PDF Reader
Convert scanned or inaccessible PDF files into plain text and read it in an accessible format! Simply upload your PDF,then view the content in an accessible dialog. Additionally, you may copy the text to your clipboard to save it somewhere else.
