@article{noauthororeditor, abstract = {In recent years, due to rapid developments in information technology, modern technologies have begun to rapidly enter human life. These technological advances are creating wide opportunities for everyone (regardless of physical and mental capabilities). Due to these opportunities, people with disabilities also had the opportunity to learn to read and write. People with disabilities who are blind use Braille to learn and communicate in their daily lives. In this age of modern technological advances, it is hard to imagine our daily life without digital devices such as tablets, smartphones, laptops, and computers. Computers play a vital role in the education process of visually impaired people. Computers have a specially designed external USB Braille keyboard that helps blind people with educational processes. This paper proposes a low-cost folding type Braille keyboard. This device is beneficial through its innovative design and its simplicity.}, added-at = {2024-03-04T13:57:11.000+0100}, author = {Nosirov, Shohruh Begmatov | Mukhriddin Arabboev | Sardor Vakhkhobov | Mokhirjon Rikhsivoev | Khushnud Gaziev | Khabibullo}, biburl = {https://www.bibsonomy.org/bibtex/29ba22372a7430d880b4da18696039c35/centralasian_20}, interhash = {a2bb0d072a2b18ad1845c21a6223ae38}, intrahash = {9ba22372a7430d880b4da18696039c35}, issn = {2660-5317}, journal = {CENTRAL ASIAN JOURNAL OF THEORETICAL AND APPLIED SCIENCE}, keywords = {blind, braille folding impaired keyboard, type visually}, language = {english}, month = sep, number = 9, pages = {1-9}, timestamp = {2024-03-04T13:57:11.000+0100}, title = {Design and Development of a Folding Type Braille Keyboard}, url = {https://cajotas.centralasianstudies.org/index.php/CAJOTAS/article/view/1271/1328}, volume = 4, year = 2023 } @article{shruti_verma_2023_7924931, abstract = {This article provides information on the system of logopedic work with children with visual impairments, speech deficits of blind and visually impaired people and their levels.}, added-at = {2023-08-21T09:07:01.000+0200}, author = {Ghiyosiddinovna, Dehkonova Mubarak}, biburl = {https://www.bibsonomy.org/bibtex/2b5348fc39f4cd53b5668e8afff6a42a8/centralasian_20}, interhash = {f9a228319e862040d2d1403ea78c3599}, intrahash = {b5348fc39f4cd53b5668e8afff6a42a8}, issn = {2660-6836}, journal = {CENTRAL ASIAN JOURNAL OF SOCIAL SCIENCES AND HISTORY}, keywords = {blindness, defectelimination echolalia, impaired, speech therapist, visually}, month = jan, number = 1, pages = {101-105}, timestamp = {2023-08-21T09:07:01.000+0200}, title = {Specific Characteristics of Logopedic Work with Blind Children}, url = {https://cajssh.centralasianstudies.org/index.php/CAJSSH/article/view/604/587}, volume = 4, year = 2023 } @article{noauthororeditor, abstract = {This proposal focuses on identifying problems in teaching English to visually impaired students at special school and provides some solutions how to increase the quality of education.

So our project helps such kind of people to fill their forms by recording voice. Any kind of user can utilize this system and reduce their time by storing data in wave format instead of typing via keyboard. Filling Admission forms can be done by Transcription Management System with a smart indication. This composition can be used in any application, where person's vision is the critical issue. The features of this system are automatic transmission of voice files with just a couple of click .By just simple mouse clicks and speech inputs the system is easy to get along with any type of users there is no need to remember keyboard. This system works on role basis like Translator, Manager and Reviewer .The visually impaired persons need not worry as they can listen to the prompting done by the system and perform respective actions.

The family support as an informal network that provides individuals, with expressions of emotional concern or empathy. The descriptive nature of this study was undertaken with the objectives of the family support network of visually challenged women in Tiruchirappalli city, Tamil Nadu. The sample of 42 visually impairment women aged 24 and above 44 years of age were selected through purposive sampling technique. An interview schedule and observation was used for collection of data. 83.3% of visually challenged women have received good emotional support from their family. Almost maximum number of women with visual impairment got good personal support like the household task, cleaning, handling money, support during pregnancy period, care of children etc. The study has shown that having good family support is a strong protective factor against negative things such as depression, isolation, poverty and helps to increase well-being.

The difficulties are more acute when the information forms part of an interactive process, such as the increasingly common "Web 2.0 applications". If the process is to be completed correctly and efficiently it is vital that appropriate information is given to the user at an appropriate time. Designing a non-visual interface that achieves these aims is a non-trivial task, for which several approaches are possible. The one taken here is to use eye-tracking to understand how sighted users interact with the content, and to gain insight into how they benefit from the information, then apply this understanding to design a non-visual user interface. This paper describes how this technique was applied to develop audio interfaces for two common types of interaction: auto-suggest lists and pop-up calendars. Although the resulting interfaces were quite different, one largely mirroring the visual representation and the other not, evaluations showed that the approach was effective, with both audio implementations effective and popular with participants.}, added-at = {2015-06-10T17:08:19.000+0200}, author = {Brown, Andrew and Jay, Caroline and Harper, Simon}, biburl = {https://www.bibsonomy.org/bibtex/21430c737f783cc66feca8eb82f8d4046/oulu2015}, interhash = {e9dec7e851ade23cf4f204231cdcb0b1}, intrahash = {1430c737f783cc66feca8eb82f8d4046}, journal = {New Review of Hypermedia and Multimedia}, keywords = {Accessibility eye-tracking impaired visually}, number = 3, pages = {281--301}, timestamp = {2015-06-10T17:43:28.000+0200}, title = {Using qualitative eye-tracking data to inform audio presentation of dynamic Web content.}, url = {http://www.informaworld.com/10.1080/13614568.2010.542253}, volume = 16, year = 2010 } @inproceedings{Harper2003dq, abstract = {We suggest that with the advent of ambient devices, pervasive computing systems, mobile user devices and the associated move towards accessing mobile information the HCI community has a perfect opportunity to influence the design of mobile interfaces early in their life-cycle.

The user device is specific to that user and so too is the interface; however, the problem of static interface creation (normally by sighted designers) still exists. If we are truly to make access to the real world a universal activity the presentation of the interface (buttons, sliders, etc.) must be separated from the functionality of the device, and therefore the functionality the interface is required to fulfil (data and control instructions). Sentinel aims to address this issue by using functional prototypes (written in XML) to separate these two areas. It does this without specifying the type of interface-control (button, tick-box, etc.) required and instead delegates the interface-control presentation task to the user-device which can more individually react to the accessibility needs of its user.}, added-at = {2015-06-10T17:07:46.000+0200}, address = {London, UK}, author = {Harper, Simon and Goble, Carole and Pettitt, Steven}, bdsk-url-1 = {http://www.simonharper.info/publications/Harper2003dq.pdf}, biburl = {https://www.bibsonomy.org/bibtex/2426d0c0b7a8aeddf1b904d471cde4161/oulu2015}, booktitle = {{Proceedings of the 10th International Conference on Human-Computer Interaction}}, date-modified = {2007-06-04 16:35:12 +0100}, editor = {Stephanidis, C.}, interhash = {07149ec9c71b49e6a135225dd15ad361}, intrahash = {426d0c0b7a8aeddf1b904d471cde4161}, isbn = {0-8058-4933-5}, keywords = {Accessibility Blind Impaired Mobility Visually}, location = {Crete, Greece}, pages = {399--403}, publisher = {Lawrence Erlbaum Associates}, timestamp = {2015-06-10T17:43:28.000+0200}, title = {{Sentinel: Universal Access to Ambient Devices}}, url = {http://www.simonharper.info/publications/Harper2003dq.pdf}, volume = 4, year = 2003 } @inproceedings{conf/icdim/ChiaraPRSTVG11, added-at = {2015-06-10T17:06:09.000+0200}, author = {Chiara, Gabriele Di and Paolino, Luca and Romano, Marco and Sebillo, Monica and Tortora, Genny and Vitiello, Giuliana and Ginige, Athula}, biburl = {https://www.bibsonomy.org/bibtex/29e21983abd53fd28036bf1a7d3914113/oulu2015}, booktitle = {ICDIM}, crossref = {conf/icdim/2011}, ee = {http://dx.doi.org/10.1109/ICDIM.2011.6093335}, interhash = {e9765eba7457a3018e872c167ce05c9a}, intrahash = {9e21983abd53fd28036bf1a7d3914113}, isbn = {978-1-4577-1538-9}, keywords = {impaired interface visually}, pages = {36-41}, publisher = {IEEE}, timestamp = {2015-06-10T17:43:28.000+0200}, title = {The Framy user interface for visually-impaired users.}, url = {http://dblp.uni-trier.de/db/conf/icdim/icdim2011.html#ChiaraPRSTVG11}, year = 2011 } @article{Harper2003cr, abstract = {We are concerned with aiding the mobility of visually impaired travellers around often complex and unfamiliar internal and urban environments.

CONCLUSION: Detailed ethological observations of visual behaviour were shown to be useful for analysing visual functions of children with permanent CVI.}, added-at = {2014-07-19T21:03:47.000+0200}, author = {Porro, G. and Dekker, E.

Visually impaired users usually use screen readers to access the Web in audio. However, unlike sighted users, screen readers cannot see the implicit structural and navigational knowledge encoded within the visual presentation of Web pages. Therefore, in a visually impaired user's environment, objects that support travel are missing or inaccessible. Our approach to remedy this is to annotate pages with an ontology, the Travel Ontology, that aims to encapsulate rich structural and navigational knowledge about these objects. We use Semantic Web technologies to make such knowledge explicit and computationally accessible. Our semi-automated tool, Dante identifies travel objects on Web pages, annotates them appropriately with the Travel Ontology and uses this to transform the pages to enhance the travel support. Thus Dante uses the Travel Ontology to enhance the travel experience of visually impaired users. This paper introduces the Travel Ontology, the annotation pipeline used in the annotation part of Dante and some transformation scenarios to illustrate how the annotations are used to guide the transformation of Web pages. }, added-at = {2013-07-30T11:27:41.000+0200}, author = {Yesilada, Yeliz and Harper, Simon and Goble, Carole and Stevens, Robert}, bdsk-url-1 = {http://dx.doi.org/10.1007/b99180}, biburl = {https://www.bibsonomy.org/bibtex/2dd7386800725d0668b0ec598e24e0ff1/wel-manchester}, booktitle = {Proceedings of the International Conference on Web Engineering (ICWE)}, date-added = {2006-03-24 10:43:46 +0000}, date-modified = {2007-09-28 12:51:21 +0100}, doi = {http://dx.doi.org/10.1007/b99180}, group = {My Publication}, interhash = {99f03cb1108582318fe56cec1686e808}, intrahash = {dd7386800725d0668b0ec598e24e0ff1}, keywords = {Accessibility, DANTE, Impaired, Mobility, Ontologies, Semantic Transcoding, Visually Web}, location = {Munich, Germany}, pages = {445-458}, publisher = {Springer}, timestamp = {2013-07-30T11:27:45.000+0200}, title = {Screen Readers Cannot See (Ontology Based Semantic Annotation for Visually Impaired Web Travellers)}, year = 2004 } @techreport{Towel:yy02, abstract = {Visually impaired people have difficulties accessing the Web, either because of the inappropriately designed web pages or the insufficiency of the currently available technological advances. The main focus of the currently available technology is on providing sensory translation rather than supporting mobility. As a consequence of limited mobility support, visually impaired people are less able to browse and travel on the Web. Furthermore, Hypertext design and usability traditionally concentrates upon navigation and/or orientation and neglects the importance of mobility and travel [30]. Harper introduced the notion of travel on the Web and proposes the inclusion of travel and mobility in the usability metrics of web design [32]. The notion of travel extends navigation and orientation to include environment, mobility and the purpose of the travel task. Travel in the virtual, web world is likened to travel in the real, physical world. In consequence, the extensive work undertaken in the mobility of visually impaired people in the physical world can be transferred and adapted to the web based world [30]. The notion of travel on the Web is also the foundation of this PhD project. Our goal is to improve travel upon the Web by improving the design of web pages and sites -- moving the travel component from a craft towards an engineering paradigm. In order to achieve our goal, we are aiming to support travel on the Web by providing a tool that analyses travel support offered within a page and consequently, semi-automatically transforming the page to increase the travel support provided. We are proposing a framework for analysing travel support offered within a web page. This framework forms the basis of the tool that will be created, which aims to increase the provided mobility within a web page. This continuation report presents the context of the research, the work done in the first year of this PhD project, including an evaluation of the framework's effectiveness, and proposes a work plan for the forthcoming years.}, added-at = {2013-07-30T11:27:41.000+0200}, author = {Yesilada, Yeliz}, bdsk-url-1 = {http://www.cs.man.ac.uk/~yesilady/publication/Report02.ps}, biburl = {https://www.bibsonomy.org/bibtex/2a91dd92872a996a76465854c03df1216/wel-manchester}, date-added = {2006-03-24 10:43:46 +0000}, date-modified = {2007-06-05 12:32:13 +0100}, group = {My Publication}, institution = {(First Year PhD Report) University of Manchester- Department of Computer Science}, interhash = {539348683c18e89d2cbcd9777975688f}, intrahash = {a91dd92872a996a76465854c03df1216}, keywords = {Accessibility, DANTE, Impaired, Mobility, Ontologies, Semantic Transcoding, Visually Web}, timestamp = {2013-07-30T11:27:45.000+0200}, title = {Contextualised Travel Support for Visually Impaired Web Users}, url = {http://www.cs.man.ac.uk/~yesilady/publication/Report02.ps}, year = 2002 }
