Who Gets Heard? Rethinking Voice Recognition and Accessibility A11y Camp 2026

Voice recognition is everywhere, but it often fails for people with speech disabilities. This session explores where current systems fall short and why that’s an ethical issue, not just a technical one. Based on the chapter ‘Making Every Voice Heard: The Ethics of Voice Recognition Technology’ from Digital Accessibility Ethics: Disability Inclusion in All Things Tech, you’ll get practical ways for inclusive voice and multimodal alternatives, plus the book’s Ethics Framework for product decisions.
