It's done. After about a year of writing, fact-checking, and more rewrites than I'd like to admit, No Sight Required: The Blind User's Guide to AI is out in the world. You can read it today on Amazon Kindle, with a paperback and a full audiobook on the way.
If you've been waiting for this one, thank you. A lot of you raised your hand on faith, before there was a book to hold, because you believed our community deserved a real, no-gatekeeping guide to this stuff. That meant more than you know on the hard days.
What the book is
No Sight Required is the guide I wished existed when AI started reshaping everything around us. It's a hands-on walkthrough of how to actually use ChatGPT, Claude, and Gemini as a blind or low-vision person, with NVDA, JAWS, VoiceOver, and TalkBack. Written by someone who does it every day, without sight.
Inside you'll find:
- Every major AI: ChatGPT, Claude, and Gemini, across Windows, Mac, iPhone, and Android.
- Step-by-step navigation with your screen reader of choice, with commands and gestures spelled out in plain words.
- A prompt library you can steal from on day one.
- AI on the job, troubleshooting, gaming, and building accessible software, with AI as your patient partner.
No "just ask a sighted person." No assuming you already know the trick. Just a real, first-person guide, at your pace.
There's a trailer, and it's accessible
I put together a short trailer, and you can watch it on the book's site at nosightrequired.com. It's captioned, and the full transcript sits right there on the page. A book about access ought to be promoted accessibly. Anything less would be a little ironic.
My promise on access
This is the part I care about most.
If you're blind or low-vision and the Kindle edition or paperback doesn't read well with your setup, I don't want you stuck. Forward me the order-confirmation email from your purchase, just so we keep the exchange honest, and I'll personally send you an accessible ePub, plus the audiobook the moment it's ready, at no extra cost. Reach me at info@tonygebhard.me.
No format should be the thing that locks you out of a book that was written for you.
Where to get it
- Read it now on Amazon Kindle.

You matter every single day, and I want you to be successful with these tools. Go read it.
