Discover how Lumin, a voice‑first email app for iPhone, is transforming email management for the blind and low‑vision community. Learn how AI and audio‑only design bring speed, precision, and independence to your inbox.

Shaun Preece sits down with Sriram Ganesh, founder of Lumin, to explore the journey from video game programming to creating a fully voice‑controlled email client.

This episode dives into:

The development of Lumin as a voice‑only, AI‑powered email app.
Real‑world challenges of managing email with low vision and how Lumin solves them.
Live demo showing how to read, reply, archive, and manage email entirely by voice.
Key insights into privacy, cloud security, and data control for users.
The roadmap for future features, expansion to more platforms, and accessibility goals.

Sriram Ganesh is a lifelong builder whose career spans high-stakes entrepreneurship and profound personal resilience. In his early 30s, Sriram was diagnosed with cone-rod dystrophy, an incurable condition causing progressive central vision loss.

As he struggled to adjust to his new reality, Sriram confronted a world where accessibility tech lagged far behind innovation. This led him to create Lumin, a voice-first AI assistant designed for the blind and low vision community.
