Brailled It film: Blind and low-vision kids take control of the cameras
Partner & Community Accessibility
Every year, the top under-18 Braille readers and writers from across the English-speaking world gather in Los Angeles to compete in the Braille Challenge. For one weekend, blind and low-vision kids are no longer the minority in the room. They make new friends, face off against old rivals, and chase a rare chance to be recognized not for their disability, but for their skill. In Brailled It, the camera is placed directly in their hands. As the kids document the competition themselves, their fragmented imagery and candid moments of nerves, boredom, joy, and triumph invite audiences to experience the event on their terms. Designed with audio description and accessibility at its core–not as an afterthought but as a fundamental creative tool–the film shifts authorship and perspective to the community on screen, revealing a world defined not by limitation, but by mastery, ambition, and the transformative power of literacy.

Partner & Community Accessibility
Scientific knowledge is only meaningful if people can access, understand, and make use of it. Although open access has removed paywalls for many scientific papers, many barriers remain. Papers may be inaccessible to people using assistive technologies, difficult for non-specialists to understand, or hard to translate into practical applications. Emerging AI technologies create new opportunities to study these challenges at scale and develop tools that improve access, but these transformations also introduce risks around information fidelity and the communication of uncertainty.
In this talk, I discuss our work on improving access to scientific and health information. Large-scale analysis of scientific PDFs reveals how access varies across publishers and publication models, including how the growth of open access has counterintuitively impacted document access. I also discuss how machine-learning-based solutions can help identify accessibility failures and support the conversion of PDFs into more accessible…
