Typeahead is an AI-powered screen reader designed for Mac. It utilizes an advanced model based on ChatGPT to assist blind and visually impaired users in navigating desktop and web applications. Focused on simplicity, Typeahead requires instructions in plain English and can be activated with a hotkey. A standout feature of this tool is its 'Teach by example' function, which allows users to record tasks for Typeahead to learn and later replay. To ensure user privacy, it offers an offline mode, that uses open-source AI models to process sensitive data. Typeahead is proficient in performing a variety of tasks including clicking on buttons, typing into text fields, opening menus, saving and attaching invoices as PDFs, and scheduling meetings on Google Calendar. It provides adequate narrations alongside these operations. Currently exclusive to MacOS, it is capable of integrating with any desktop application or website, and can also be used collaboratively with VoiceOver for automation tasks. This tool is designed as a guide to assist visually impaired users in day-to-day computer-related functions and to address the limitations of traditional screen readers. The key distinction is that while traditional screen readers simply describe interactable elements, Typeahead harnesses AI to determine the optimal interaction method with the elements on screen.
