Web access for people with visual disability: Inclusite® solution

Published: 03 October 2012 Publication History

Abstract

This paper addresses the evaluation of a prototype of the Inclusite® solution, designed to enable web accessibility for visual disabled people. The interface provides the help from the Web and avoids users' dependence on software and devices normally used by them. An expert in typhlotechnology makes usability tests of Inclusite® interface, consisting of keyboard navigation combined with voice synthesis (synthesis of voice reads to the user the selections made from the keyboard). The evaluation of the initiative is very positive as it will contribute to reduction of costs by the users, not needing to purchase specific software, as well as reducing their dependence on the use of their own equipment, with their typical aid installed on it, because it will be hosted on the Web itself. Also some aspects required to improve the interface are highlighted.
