The EasyCOVID-19 Project

~ John Rochford

EasyCOVID-19 LogoThe COVID-19 pandemic shows that, for all of us to be safe and healthy, all of us need to understand reliable COVID-19 information published on the web by every country. Our new and exciting EasyCOVID-19 Project is simplifying COVID-19 information (text) and transforming COVID-19 infographics and charts to make COVID-19 info understandable by every country’s huge populations of:

  • people with cognitive disabilities and/or low literacy;
  • seniors and the Deaf; and
  • non-native language speakers.

We have a wonderful, international team of passionate, highly skilled people from around the world.

We will regularly publish our progress and information about our efforts.

For more info, see our EasyCOVID-19 Website!

 

A for Access-ibility

~ John Rochford

Open Access Technologies LogoA few months ago, I was interviewed for a new podcast series: A is for Access-ibility. Created by Open Access Technologies, the series spotlights accessibility experts making technology more inclusive for people with disabilities.

Watching the series is a wonderful way to learn about accessibility, and about how I think artificial intelligence will play an important part in its future.

Join me and host, Portland Helmich, for their third installment of A is for Access-bility.

I thank Howard Berke for inviting me to be interviewed.
