Empowering Visually Impaired Users with Legal & Medical Document Accessibility

Prizm is an innovative web application designed to empower visually impaired individuals by providing real-time, AI-powered guidance to navigate complex legal and medical documents. With easy document scanning, simplified summaries, and an AI chatbot for support, Prizm makes understanding intricate legal and medical terminology accessible, restoring confidence, independence, and empowerment to visually impaired users.

Key Features

1. Seamless Document Scanning

Capture documents easily using your phone’s camera. Real-time visuals and alignment feedback ensure clear scans every time.

2. Advanced Text Extraction and Privacy

Prizm uses robust Optical Character Recognition (OCR) to convert scanned documents into editable, shareable text. Sensitive information is automatically filtered using regex-based masking to protect user privacy.

3. Simplified Summarization

Complex legal and medical jargon is transformed into clear, concise language, helping users make informed decisions without confusion.

4. AI-Powered Chatbot

A secure, context-aware chatbot is available 24/7 to answer questions about workplace rights, Indian laws, medical terminology, or any related concerns. User privacy and data security are prioritized at every step.

5. Accessibility by Design

Prizm incorporates text-to-speech, high-contrast visuals, adjustable font sizes, multilingual support, and keyboard navigation to ensure usability for all users, regardless of their specific needs.

6. Real-Time Voice Control

Users can navigate the app and interact with the chatbot using voice commands, reducing dependence on touchscreens or keyboards.
