Accessibility of websites for visually impaired persons
This addresses the problem of web accessibility for visually impaired persons, but it appears incremental as it builds on existing recommendations and preliminary testing.
The paper analyzed the difficulties visually impaired persons face in accessing websites due to screen readers not adapting to modern web technologies, and presented preliminary results from testing on the ACCESSPACE project website.
Accessibility of websites for visually impaired persons is mishandled by screen readers which are not always adapted to interactivity needed by actual web/multimedia technologies. This paper analyses the difficulties to access to information with the use of different technologies and the existing recommendations for the conception of accessible websites for all. Preliminary results with visually impaired persons on our ACCESSPACE project website are presented.
