Diamond Access AI is a Chrome extension that transforms web accessibility for blind users. Unlike traditional screen readers that require users to navigate element-by-element, Diamond operates at the page level. On every page load, it automatically provides a summary of the page's content, identifies which page the user is on, and suggests common actions they can take. The extension uses a voice-first, push-to-talk interface. Users press Alt+D to activate voice commands, then speak natural language instructions. AI is invoked per action, not per element, making it efficient and scalable. Diamond can summarize page content, list and navigate links, compare products on shopping sites, fill out forms with saved profile information, and perform custom actions the user describes. Key capabilities include: - Automatic page summaries on every load - Voice-driven navigation and interaction - Goal detection (e.g., "find the cheapest laptop stand") - Form auto-fill from saved user profiles - Cross-site context maintenance - Safety confirmations for irreversible actions (e.g., form submissions) Built as a Manifest V3 Chrome extension, Diamond uses modern browser APIs for DOM parsing, speech recognition, and text-to-speech output. The AI backend runs a large language model optimized for accessibility tasks, interpreting user intent and mapping it to precise DOM actions. Diamond doesn't just make the web accessible, it makes it navigable, efficient, and empowering for blind users. By shifting from element-level to page-level interaction, it restores autonomy and reduces the cognitive load of web navigation. This is equal opportunity, built into the browser.
