Confidence Indicator

An interface element that communicates how certain an AI or automated system is about a given output, helping users decide how much to trust the result. In accessibility tools for blind and low-vision users, confidence indicators are especially important because users cannot visually sanity-check the system's answer against the original image, chart, or scene. Effective confidence communication for screen reader users tends to use plain language (e.g. "100 percent confident" or "low confidence") rather than raw numeric scores or color-coded badges, and should reflect multiple factors such as input quality, question complexity, and how cleanly the system could extract the underlying data. Exposing confidence addresses a known failure mode of AI assistive tools: confidently wrong answers that blind users cannot easily detect or contest.
