Verbum vs Unseen Accessibility

Swift Student Challenge Distinguished Winner 2026! Check my developer profile to see my 2025 winning submission, Neura! Meet Verbum, an interactive AI tutor that teaches the concepts behind modern AI. Verbum features guided conversations, real examples, and easy to understand demos that make the complex technologies present in modern day AI easy to understand for all. You'll learn how LLMs generate responses, how to write better prompts, how to spot hallucinations, and how tool calling and agents work under the hood. Your guide throughout is Lumen, an in-app assistant who walks you through every concept in real time. All AI in Verbum runs entirely on your device using Apple Intelligence. No cloud, no internet required, no privacy tradeoffs. Verbum also tracks the water, energy, and carbon footprint that cloud AI would have used, so you can see the environmental cost you're saving. No matter what your goals are with AI, Verbum gives you the foundation to use these tools the right way.

Distinguished Winner of the Apple Swift Student Challenge 2026. You can read about accessibility for years and still not feel it. Unseen lets you hear it. Unseen is an interactive playground that teaches developers how blind and low-vision users experience the apps we build. A simulated iPhone speaks every screen aloud, just like VoiceOver. When an app is broken, you hear the confusion. When you fix it, you hear it click into place. HOW IT WORKS Every lesson follows one loop: break it, understand it, fix it, hear the difference. You start with an app that VoiceOver reads badly. You change one thing on the screen. Then you listen again, and the gap between the two is the lesson. WHAT YOU'LL LEARN • Labels: give every control a name that actually means something. • Groups: turn scattered elements into one clear announcement. • Custom Actions: replace fiddly gestures with a simple menu. WHO IT'S FOR • Developers who want to ship apps that work for everyone. • Designers and product teams who want to feel what accessibility means. • Students, educators, and anyone curious how millions of people navigate by sound.
