Algoma University and Enabled Talent have signed an MOU to co-develop an AI-powered workplace accessibility tool for blind and low-vision professionals. The two-year collaboration will focus on the development of Eynable, a tool that uses voice commands, smart descriptions, and task automation to help users navigate tasks like form submissions and scheduling without altering existing software or websites. “Accessibility benefits society as a whole—and by designing with that in mind, we unlock broader innovation,” said AlgomaU Digital Innovation Lab Director Dr Randy Lin. The project will also draw on insights from advocacy organizations and partnerships with employers such as TD, RBC, and CBC.
