Enhancing Accessibility with Copilot

I use ChatGPT 4 (via Copilot) and not Gemini when I want to 'chat with this page:' which is really handy for students who struggle to read large amounts of text (or for me when I am in a rush!). I would strongly recommend this to anyone who struggles with reading. In this example, Copilot directs me to the correct place within a long report on Genome Editing from the Nuffield Trust. Gemini cannot do this yet.

The image shows a screenshot of section 5 in a long report on Genome Editing from the Nuffield Trust. To the right of the report, is the Copilot for web feature which someone is using to help them read the document. The user has inputted ‘chat with this page: what are the considerations with respect to treating disease?’ into the AI tool. Copilot has responded with a summary and has highlighted the section of the text it has referred to.
