An AI that speaks — and describes the world.

Déblo is designed to work without looking at the screen. You speak naturally, Déblo answers aloud. It reads the letter you hold in your hand, describes a photo, helps with an administrative form. Compatible with your usual screen reader.

Accessibility audience under specification — target release 2026 / 2027 under institutional funding.

The context

Digital access is still a daily battle

Over 250 million people worldwide are blind or low-vision. Most digital interfaces remain visual-first. Screen readers exist — JAWS, NVDA, VoiceOver, TalkBack — but most consumer AI products remain barely usable without manipulating a screen.

What Déblo brings

Voice AI designed to work without a screen

Native voice control, nothing to press

Voice activation, voice conversation, voice action. No need to target a button or navigate a menu. Déblo listens continuously on demand and answers aloud.

Spoken description of images and documents

You hold a paper: invoice, prescription, administrative letter, product label. You take a photo (by long press or voice command), Déblo reads aloud, summarizes, translates or explains.

Compatible with your screen reader

JAWS on Windows, NVDA on Windows, VoiceOver on iOS and macOS, TalkBack on Android. Déblo is tested to coexist without audio collision (polite turn-taking).

No visual traps

No image-only captchas, no carousel without description, no image-button without label. Déblo public surfaces follow WCAG 2.1 AA — the minimum baseline, with WCAG 3.0 in preparation as the standard stabilizes.

Concrete use cases

Daily life, administration, work

Administrative processes

Read a letter from administration, understand a form, draft a reply, identify a reference number. Déblo guides step by step.

Daily life

Identify the content of a food label, decipher a medication leaflet, read a restaurant menu photographed on the spot, scan a bus schedule.

Training and work

Prepare a course, revise a program, write a professional email, understand a technical document. For students and professionals alike.

Technical approach

Specialized vision grounding for spoken description

Déblo integrates a vision grounding module that verbally describes the content of an image with spatial precision: where the object is, its relative size, its relation to other elements. This is what enables saying "the text is in the top right, just below the logo" rather than simply "there is some text".

Partnerships

Who we want to build this version of Déblo with

This service is not a classic commercial product. It is built in partnership with associations of blind and low-vision people, public institutions, and international funders who finance digital inclusion. We are looking for co-creators, not customers.

Associations and federations of blind and low-vision people (Federation of the Blind, Hadley Institute, Lighthouse International, African federations)

Funders and inclusion programs (UNESCO, AFD, GIZ, World Bank, Mastercard Foundation, Gates Foundation, AfDB)

Training institutions for visually impaired people

Ministries of health, social cohesion and social affairs — public partnerships

FAQ

Your questions about Déblo Accessibility

Does Déblo replace my screen reader?
No. Déblo is designed as a complement, not a replacement. JAWS, NVDA, VoiceOver keep handling system navigation. Déblo brings voice conversation, spoken image description, reading of camera-captured documents.
What devices is it available on?
iOS and Android first (Déblo apps already available), web via deblo.ai. Screen-free use requires a device with mic and speaker — smartphone, computer, or eventually a connected speaker.
Do I have to say "OK Déblo" to activate it?
Not required. Déblo activates via a keyboard- or voice-accessible shortcut (configurable). "Always listening" mode is off by default to respect your privacy.
How much does the service cost?
For this audience, the commercial model is being built with institutional partners (DFIs, UNESCO, ministries). The goal is marginal-cost access for the end user, funded by public programs or donors.
Which languages are supported?
French and English first, Spanish, Portuguese, Arabic and others in a second wave. Mixed registers (Nouchi, Wolof, Dioula, Lingala, Pidgin, Hausa, Swahili) are understood in input. Native output in African languages is on our institutional roadmap 2027–2028.
How do you ensure accessibility quality?
User testing in partnership with blind and low-vision people. WCAG 2.1 AA compliance targeted on web surfaces, mobile accessibility certification (tested on VoiceOver, TalkBack). Independent audit at each major release.
When will this be available?
The current Déblo version is already usable with screen readers (though not optimized). The specific "accessibility" audience with deep vision grounding and dedicated persona is scoped for 2026 / 2027, contingent on institutional partnerships.
Which organizations do you work with?
Discussions in progress with several DFIs and associations. We will publish official partnerships at launch announcement. If you represent an interested organization, contact us.
