A Real-Time Chart Explanation System for Visually Impaired Individuals

This research addresses the critical need for real-time chart captioning systems optimized for visually impaired individuals in the evolving era of remote communication. The surge in online classes and video meetings has increased the reliance on visual data, such as charts, which poses a substantial challenge for those with visual impairments. Our study concentrates on the development and evaluation of an AI model tailored for real-time interpretation and captioning of charts. This model aims to enhance the accessibility and comprehension of visual data for visually impaired users in live settings. By focusing on real-time performance, the research endeavors to bridge the accessibility gap in dynamic and interactive remote environments. The effectiveness of the AI model is assessed in practical scenarios to ensure it meets the requirements of immediacy and accuracy essential for real-time applications. Our work represents a significant contribution to creating a more inclusive digital environment, particularly in addressing the challenges posed by the non-face-to-face era.
