Led by Lived Experience.
Built for True Accessibility.
Voxcess is led by Shahzada Saleem, a DHS Certified Trusted Tester (TTV5) and dedicated accessibility advocate.
Shahzada’s expertise isn't just professional—it's personal. As a blind user navigating the digital world daily, he continually encountered tools built for the blind, but rarely by them. He realized that developers often check boxes for "technical compliance" while missing the nuances that make a product actually usable.
Voxcess was born to dismantle that barrier. Leveraging his deep background in accessibility auditing, Shahzada realized that simply pinpointing problems wasn't enough. He needed to build the solutions that he—and the entire community—wished they had.
Our Mission
"To craft accessible tools that prioritize real-world usability over simple compliance, making digital life easier for blind and low-vision users."
Why We Exist

The Industry Awareness Gap
- •Tools built without real blind user feedback
- •Overly complicated or cluttered interfaces
- •Focus on 'checking boxes' for compliance
- •Unreliable or abandoned accessibility utilities
- •Assumptions made by sighted developers
The Voxcess Standard

- Simplicity and intuitive design first
