GitHub shares how Michael Babcock from the American Council of the Blind used GitHub Copilot and the JAWS screen reader to build the ACB Community Builder, a custom desktop application.

Overview

Michael Babcock is not a developer, but needed a way to automate hours of weekly administrative tasks.
He used GitHub Copilot plus the JAWS screen reader to create a fully accessible tool tailored to his needs.
The resulting desktop app helps his team manage 100+ worldwide events per week.
