A blind business owner built an accessible way into a client's journal system and sold it for $1,700
A fully blind accessibility consultant used AI to build a plain language front end that talks to a therapy journal system through its API, so his blind client can ask what appointments she has instead of fighting an interface her screen reader cannot use. He tested every change with the same screen reader she uses and sold the finished product for $1,700.
$1,700
How it works
- Map what the client actually needs to do
- Build a separate interface on the system API with AI
- Test with VoiceOver
- Fix labelling, focus and announcements from real use
- Repeat until it works smoothly
- Sell the finished tool
Why it’s worth knowing
A blind developer used the agent to bypass an inaccessible interface entirely instead of patching it, and a paying client now runs her work through it.
