User Pain Points (Content available in Chinese Only)

根據資料,現時有近六成網站沒有跟隨W3C網站可訪問性原則,為它們的圖片加上有效的描述,導致視障人士未能獲取圖片相關資訊。而且要為網站重新加上圖片描述將要花費大量人力。

Solution Benefits (Content available in Chinese Only)

本方案透過連結Google Chrome Vox Classic至Google Gemini Pro Vision,以低成本架構為全世界接近六偣視障人士提供網絡圖片描述。如果要硬性規定所有網站必須提供圖片描述亦不可能,也會花費大量人力和時間等資源。
