Generative AI has many applications to aid digital accessibility workflows. In this session we’ll examine the power of generative speech as part of accessible learning scenarios. We’ll also round up several ways we can use Microsoft Copilot and other generative AI tools to complete digital accessibility tasks faster.

# Session synopses

## Ignite creativity: video scenario using AI tools
Ralph Holland, ATS  Analyst (Research and CPD), Northumbria University.

“I’m going to take you through the development of an engaging, accessible learning scenario. The scenario was for a module featuring a patient-nurse interaction. 
The material was aligned with learning objectives, made sure it was accessible to all and was developed in collaboration with an academic expert. 
I will cover the project and discuss how this approach enhances our ability to make material accessible and inclusive.”

## Harnessing Copilot and other gen-AI tools to increase digital accessibility efficiency
Matthew Deeprose, Accessible Solutions Architect, University of Southampton.

“How can generative AI tools like Microsoft Copilot make us more effective and efficient in our digital accessibility work?
I’ll share techniques I’ve used successfully in several scenarios over the past six months that you can repeat at your institution.”
