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.
