Abstract

In order to make aware students in computer sciences and more generally designers of Web sites, we have decided to realise a video showing the use of Internet by a blind person. Alain Thonet, a psychology student, is very adept at working with a computer. It is the means by which he carries out his work. In this video, he explains how he uses the computer with the aid of a vocal synthesiser and a Braille bar. In navigating three very common websites, he demonstrates the difficulties he encounters - difficulties that could easily be avoided.
