Friends, I've been pouring my heart into something for a long time, and I can finally share it: my book, No Sight Required: The Blind User's Guide to AI, is coming to Amazon in 2026. 💛
Here's the truth that drove me to write it — for the first time in history, the computer can meet us halfway. As a totally blind musician, assistive-tech professional, and advocate, I've navigated my whole life through screen readers — NVDA, JAWS, VoiceOver, TalkBack. And I've watched AI tools like ChatGPT, Claude, and Gemini open doors I once thought were closed for good.
But too often that technology comes wrapped in jargon and gatekeeping. So I wrote the guide I wish I'd had: clear, practical, and written from inside the blind community. No fluff, no barriers — just real, step-by-step help. How to navigate every major AI platform with your screen reader, a ready-to-use prompt library, and real-world wins: on the job, troubleshooting, gaming, even building your own accessible software.
Because independence shouldn't be a privilege. It's a right. And to claim it — no sight required. ✨
It launches on Amazon in 2026, and I'd love for you to be the very first to know. Drop your email here and I'll send you one note — no spam, ever — the moment it's live:

(And in the spirit of the book: Written by me, helped by AI, finished by a human, checked by more humans. 😊)
Thank you for walking this road with me. Every single share helps this reach someone who's been waiting for exactly this. 🙏
With gratitude,
Tony

No Sight Required — The Blind User's Guide to AI

Master ChatGPT, Claude, and Gemini with NVDA, JAWS, VoiceOver, and TalkBack. Written by a totally blind AT professional, for our community. Coming soon.

@DavidGoldfield @tonygeb23 I don't know if you talk about it in your book, but one useful thing to us musicians would be that we could read the screen of a musical keyboard, using glasses for example, then some AI would help us to change settings, choose tones and acompaniments, etc. Do you know if things have arrived at this point already?
@clv1 @DavidGoldfield great point. and I love it. Yes. I touch on using the voice mode feature within Chat GPT and Google Gemini with video streaming capabilities on our mobile devices to gain insightful knowledge on screens or changed info with menus. Great question.
