Investigating bookmarking habits of blind users
BCI '13: Proceedings of the 6th Balkan Conference in InformaticsPages 137–140https://doi.org/10.1145/2490257.2490279To easily revisit websites of interest, users typically use the browser's bookmarking feature. Due to technological barriers to access the web, however, the blind and visually impaired users make a little use of this feature. To further investigate such ...

Designing auditory cues to enhance spoken mathematics for visually impaired users
ASSETS '10: Proceedings of the 12th international ACM SIGACCESS conference on Computers and accessibilityPages 75–82https://doi.org/10.1145/1878803.1878819Visual mathematic notation provides a succinct and unambiguous description of the structure of mathematical formulae in a manner that is difficult to replicate through the linear channels of synthesized speech and Braille. It is proposed that the use of ...

A user study of visual versus sonically-enhanced interfaces for use while walking
MM '10: Proceedings of the 18th ACM international conference on MultimediaPages 687–690https://doi.org/10.1145/1873951.1874052This paper presents a user study on interaction with a mobile device. We investigate the use of non-speech sound in mobile interfaces and design a sonically-enhanced interface. The sonically-enhanced interface is compared to a visual interface when ...

Sonic mapping: towards engaging the user in the design of sound for computerized artifacts
NordiCHI '08: Proceedings of the 5th Nordic conference on Human-computer interaction: building bridgesPages 83–92https://doi.org/10.1145/1463160.1463170This paper argues for new approaches to the design of sound for contemporary interactive technologies. We begin by presenting what we feel to be the key challenges as yet unaddressed by conventional auditory display research. Subsequently, we propose a ...

Robust Industrial Machine Sounds Identification Based on Frequency Spectrum Analysis
Progress in Pattern Recognition, Image Analysis and ApplicationsPages 71–77https://doi.org/10.1007/978-3-540-76725-1_8AbstractIn order to discriminate and identify different industrial machine sounds corrupted with heavy non-stationary and non-Gaussian perturbations (high noise, speech, etc.), a new methodology is proposed in this article. From every sound signal a set ...

Enhancing scanning input with non-speech sounds
Assets '96: Proceedings of the second annual ACM conference on Assistive technologiesPages 10–14https://doi.org/10.1145/228347.228350This paper proposes the addition of non-speech sounds to aid people who use scanning as their method of input. Scanning input is a temporal task; users have to press a switch when a cursor is over the required ...
